Glabellar lines—those vertical creases between your eyebrows—can often make you appear more tired or stressed than you feel. These lines, commonly referred to as frown lines, result from repetitive muscle movements over time.
Enter DAXXIFY®, one of the groundbreaking injectable wrinkle treatments designed to target these specific areas. Unlike traditional neuromodulators, DAXXIFY® offers a long-lasting botox alternative, providing smoother skin for extended periods.
If you’re exploring options for frown lines treatment or seeking anti-aging injectables that deliver enduring results, read here to know more about the benefits of DAXXIFY® and how it can be combined with other treatments for optimal facial rejuvenation.
Understanding DAXXIFY®
DAXXIFY® (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved neuromodulator specifically formulated to treat moderate to severe glabellar lines. What sets DAXXIFY® apart in the realm of cosmetic injectables is its unique peptide-powered formulation, which allows for a longer duration of effect compared to traditional options.
Clinical studies have shown that DAXXIFY®’s wrinkle reduction effects can last up to six months or more, making it a preferred choice for those seeking long-lasting results. As a long-lasting botox alternative, DAXXIFY® works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for frown lines, leading to a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Its innovative formulation ensures that patients can enjoy the benefits of anti-aging injectables with fewer treatment sessions throughout the year.
Synergizing DAXXIFY® with Other Aesthetic Treatments
DAXXIFY® is a powerful anti-aging injectable that smooths dynamic wrinkles like glabellar lines. But when paired with other carefully selected med spa treatments, its effects go beyond the surface. Think of DAXXIFY® as the cornerstone of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan—strong on its own, but even more impactful when it works in harmony with other therapies.
So, is it possible to combine DAXXIFY® with other aesthetic services? Yes—beautifully so. In fact, many of our Duluth and Superior patients experience their best results through personalized combination treatments that target multiple concerns: from fine lines and volume loss to discoloration, texture irregularities, and collagen depletion.
Let’s take a deeper look at how DAXXIFY® complements other med spa offerings—and how these synergies bring out the best in your skin:
1. Dermal Fillers: Smoothing and Sculpting in One
While DAXXIFY® relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines, dermal fillers—such as RHA Collection, Restylane, and Revanesse Versa—step in to restore what time takes away: volume.
- Why this pairing works: DAXXIFY® smooths out active wrinkles like frown lines and crow’s feet, while fillers address deeper folds (like nasolabial folds or marionette lines) and enhance facial contours. This dual action creates balance, symmetry, and youthfulness—without overdoing it.
- Treatment timing: These treatments can often be done in the same session, making it a seamless experience with very little downtime. Your injector will create a strategic plan based on your facial structure and desired outcome.
- Realistic results: Clients typically leave with a smoother brow, softened lines, and rejuvenated cheek or lip volume—all while still looking like themselves.
2. Microneedling: Building Collagen, Boosting Glow
If you’re looking to refine your skin’s tone and texture while reducing fine lines, microneedling pairs wonderfully with DAXXIFY®.
- Why this pairing works: DAXXIFY® handles muscle-related wrinkles, while microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production—helping improve skin firmness, pore size, and overall glow. It’s like hitting the reset button on your complexion.
- Treatment timing: Microneedling can be scheduled either before or after your DAXXIFY® appointment. A good rule of thumb is to space them a week or two apart to allow your skin to recover.
- Ideal for: Clients experiencing signs of premature aging, post-acne scarring, or dull, tired-looking skin who want smoother, healthier texture without aggressive treatments.
3. Chemical Peels: Exfoliate, Renew, and Brighten
Available at both our Duluth and Superior locations, favorites like the VI Chemical Peel and BioRePeel are known for gently exfoliating dead skin, brightening dull tone, and evening out pigmentation.
- Why this pairing works: DAXXIFY® tackles deeper, expression-based wrinkles. Chemical peels, on the other hand, target surface-level issues like sun damage, acne discoloration, and rough patches. Together, they offer a layered approach, working from both the muscle and skin surface levels.
- Treatment timing: To maximize benefits, it’s often recommended to perform the peel first and follow with DAXXIFY® after the skin has healed. Your provider may alternate treatments to support long-term rejuvenation.
- The bonus: You walk away with not just wrinkle reduction, but glowing, even-toned skin that looks polished and refreshed.
4. Laser Treatments: Brighten, Clear, and Firm
For more targeted work on pigmentation, vascular lesions, or skin laxity, laser treatments are a game-changing addition to your anti-aging plan. At Duluth Med Spa, top options include:
- Aerolase Neo Elite: A gentle yet effective laser for acne, redness, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines.
- Venus Versa™ Photofacial (IPL SR): An intense pulsed light treatment that fades sunspots, age spots, and broken capillaries.
- TriBella™: A powerful 3-in-1 solution that combines IPL, RF (radiofrequency) skin tightening, and fractional resurfacing for total facial rejuvenation.
- Why this pairing works: Lasers address color and texture irregularities that DAXXIFY® alone won’t touch. By treating muscle-related movement with DAXXIFY® and correcting skin irregularities with lasers, you’re giving your skin the ultimate chance to radiate from every angle.
- Treatment planning: Typically, your provider will recommend spacing treatments out (e.g., laser first, DAXXIFY® two weeks later) to avoid overlapping inflammation or irritation.
5. Tribella™ Facial Rejuvenation: The Power Combo
If you’re looking for a total glow-up, Tribella™ is the ultimate multi-tech treatment that can be beautifully paired with DAXXIFY®.
- Why this pairing works: Tribella™ combines three technologies (IPL, RF, and fractional resurfacing) to target tone, texture, and elasticity, while DAXXIFY® adds the finishing touch by smoothing out dynamic wrinkles. You get a comprehensive, all-in-one skin reset.
- Treatment timing: For best results, your provider will assess your skin’s condition and create a plan that integrates DAXXIFY® after your skin has healed from Tribella™, usually around two to three weeks later.
- Who it’s for: Clients seeking a visible refresh before big events like weddings, reunions, or milestone birthdays—or anyone wanting dramatic skin improvement without going under the knife.
6. Layering Treatments with Intention
Combining DAXXIFY® with other services isn’t about piling on procedures—it’s about strategic layering. It’s about meeting your skin where it is, gently supporting it with the right tools, and helping it thrive.
Every person’s skin has a different story. Some may need laser and DAXXIFY®. Others may benefit from peels and microneedling. And many will need a little of everything at different times of the year.
At Duluth Med Spa, this process is never rushed. Each treatment is personalized, taking your skin history, goals, and timeline into account. Whether you’re new to injectables or a seasoned aesthetic client, the emphasis is always on natural results, expert technique, and holistic care.
