With the Newest Muscle-Relaxing Injectable, You Can Smooth Frown Lines for Especially Long- Lasting Results at Chicago’s Iteld Plastic Surgery
If a couple of vertical wrinkles form the number 11 between your eyebrows when you scowl at the thought of looking older—or even when you squint to read stuff like this on your phone—you’ve got frown lines! Daxxify (formerly called Daxi) is now available at Chicago’s Iteld Plastic Surgery for relaxing the muscles responsible for these visible signs of aging, known as dynamic wrinkles. Results are long lasting, with studies showing that the effects can potentially provide a more youthful look for about twice as long as other similar injectables. That’s right! One treatment of Daxxify lasts up to six months compared to just three months for other neuromodulators. It means you would only need TWO injectable treatments of Daxxify a year to maintain the results you love.
Considering how Daxxify is so effective at treating forehead lines, it’s also being studied for addressing horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet, and the “full upper face,” which includes multiple places where dynamic wrinkles form: the forehead in general, between the eyebrows, and next to the eyes.

How Daxxify Works
Although Daxxify is one of the newest cosmetic treatments available, neuromodulators are not new to the world of medicine or aesthetics. The muscle- relaxing injectables have long been used to help patients with spasticity problems because the active ingredient—botulinum toxin—is ideal for blocking nerve signals that trigger contractions.
When injected into specific forehead muscles, Daxxify curbs contractions there. That means you can scowl all you want and not worry about your skin folding into telltale frown lines (though if you want to scowl a lot, we encourage you to figure out a way to improve your mood).
The effects develop within a few days of the injections, and they can last for up to six months. That means patients can to maintain a smoother, more youthful appearance with only two Daxxify treatments a year. Similar injectables typically wear off after three to four months.
Results and Recovery After Daxxify Injections
Injecting Daxxify takes only minutes, so you can come in for an appointment and be done in the amount of time (or less) it would take you to get lunch. Since there are no side effects that would require rest or recuperation, you can return to almost all your regularly scheduled activities right away— just like you’d be able to do after a lunch break.
We’re not encouraging you to skip lunch for a Daxxify session! We’re just saying it’s fast and convenient.
Avoid the gym for about 24 hours in order to keep your heart rate low so the active ingredients can settle in properly, and avoid hot tubs or other hot environments, alcohol, and pushing on the treatment area (whether with your hands, pillows, or anything else) for the same amount of time. You don’t have to remember all this right now. We will remind you of these tips to maximize your results at the time of your appointment.
You will likely see some slight bruising or redness and may also feel tenderness or discomfort after your injections. There’s no need to do anything about these effects, as they will shortly go away by themselves. Soon after that—after two or three days—you should see a noticeable change between your brows. Enjoy the loss of your 11’s for six months or so! Once you notice the frown lines beginning to return, contact us about scheduling a new Daxxify treatment session.
