The aesthetics industry has come a long way from negative stereotypes like the “frozen” Botox face and over-filled “duck lips.” In fact, the connotations and treatments themselves have improved so much that it can be overwhelming to understand what’s best for you and which treatments will help you achieve your ideal look.
This month, meet DAXXIFY® and Juvéderm Volux.
Meet DAXXIFY®
Enter DAXXIFY® – the newest FDA-approved neuromodulator to hit the scene. What sets DAXXIFY® apart from its “first generation” cousins is it’s staying power. This neuromodulator is effective for up to six months to 9 months — a length previously unheard of. That staying power is thanks to a unique peptide-powered exchange technology.
DAXXIFY® is FDA-approved to help smooth moderate to severe lines between the brows. It is the only long-lasting frown line treatment powered by a peptide with results that last on average 6 months and up to 9 months for some. The active ingredient in DAXXIFY® is a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A.
Several factors contribute to the formation of facial lines. Decreased collagen production, cellular changes, genetics, environmental damage, and sun damage may all play a role. Facial lines are also formed by repeated muscle contractions such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. These facial expressions cause the skin to furrow and fold, which eventually leads to the formation of wrinkles.
DAXXIFY® works below the skin’s surface to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity responsible for moderate to severe frown lines.
Who Is the Ideal Patient for DAXXIFY®?
People who want to achieve the convenience of a twice-yearly treatment that provides consistent, smooth results that last. We are proud to be one of the exclusive early experience adopters of DAXXIFY® on the Central Coast.
The best treatments come in twos. Next on our roster of injectable trends to watch, meet the perfect pair for your new neuromodulator.
Meet Juvéderm Volux
Dermal fillers are not created equal. Without getting into medical jargon and nuance (though by all means, please come prepared with any and all questions to your appointment! After all, this is our bread and butter), each type is FDA-approved to fill a specific area in the face. Juvéderm Volux was designed specifically to fill and address the appearance of jowls or the contour of the jawline.
Juvéderm Volux is the first hyaluronic acid-based injectable made specifically to treat the lower part of the face. It has more structure and cohesivity than other dermal fillers, making it ideal for sculpting the perfect sharp, chiseled jawline many patients are after.
Like other dermal fillers, the results last up to 18 months and can be dissolved if you’re unhappy with the result. However, we’re confident that our master injectors can help you achieve the jawline of your dreams.
We’re excited to offer these cutting-edge injectables and to be at the forefront of the future of aesthetics. Both DAXXIFY® and Juvéderm Volux are new to the market as of 2023, and we can’t wait to help you artfully become the face of the future, literally. If you’re curious about either or both injectables and how they can amplify your look, give us a call and book your consultation today: (805) 544-5567.
