Daxxify
At Blue Medical Aesthetics, we select treatments based on clinical integrity and the real-world needs of our Wilmington community. We brought Daxxify into our practice because it offers a significant clinical advantage: duration. With the precision of decades of medical experience, we ensure your Daxxify treatment is administered with exactness and safety. We believe in providing honest, medically-backed recommendations, and for patients looking to spend less time in the chair and more time enjoying their lives, Daxxify is a premier choice.
Clinically proven to last 6 to 9 months on average.

The only neuromodulator formulated with a stabilizing peptide instead of human or animal proteins.
Patients can return to their daily Wilmington activities immediately following the appointment.
Every treatment is performed by the same experienced provider for consistent, reliable results.
Daxxify is an FDA-approved prescription injection used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines. While it belongs to the same class of medications as Botox®, its construction is entirely unique. It is the first peptide-powered neuromodulator, using a proprietary stabilizer that allows the active ingredient to remain effective for a longer duration. This means you can achieve a well-rested, refreshed look that persists long after traditional injections would have worn off.
Your visit begins with a thorough clinical assessment where we discuss your health history and aesthetic goals. Once we’ve mapped out your unique facial anatomy, we use a very fine needle to administer the Daxxify. The process is efficient and involves only minor discomfort, often described as a brief, localized pinch. Because this is a non-surgical medical treatment, there is no required recovery period, and you are free to leave our office and resume your normal schedule immediately.
Daxxify is highly effective at treating:
By temporarily blocking the nerve signals to these specific muscles, the overlying skin remains smooth and relaxed.
The hallmark of Daxxify is its endurance. In clinical studies, patients were able to maintain their results for up to 6 months, and in some cases, up to 9 months. This makes it an ideal solution for those with busy schedules who want to minimize the frequency of their aesthetic maintenance. Beyond its longevity, Daxxify is known for providing a clean, bright finish to the skin, helping you look naturally revitalized without the need for a monthly touch-up.
Daxxify is a sophisticated option for adults who have had success with other neuromodulators but desire longer-lasting correction. It is particularly well-suited for patients who prefer a "twice-a-year" maintenance schedule. As with all medical injections, we will review your medical history to ensure this is the safest choice for you. Daxxify is not recommended for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular disorders.
There is no formal recovery process for Daxxify. You may notice slight, temporary swelling or redness at the injection sites, which typically resolves within an hour. To ensure the best clinical outcome, we advise patients to remain upright for four hours post-treatment and to avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours. These simple steps help the product settle exactly where intended for the most effective results.
Patients typically begin to see their lines soften within 2 to 3 days, with the final, polished result appearing by the end of the second week. Unlike other options that may begin to fade by week 10, Daxxify is designed to hold its corrective effect for half a year or more. We will document your progress to ensure your results remain consistent and aligned with your long-term aesthetic plan.
When you visit Blue Medical, you are receiving care from a husband-and-wife team that prioritizes clinical safety and genuine human connection. We don't believe in the "assembly line" approach to aesthetics. Instead, we offer the precision of Amy’s 18 years in the NICU and the medical director oversight of Dr. Marcel. We personally use the treatments we offer, so our recommendations come from a place of medical expertise and firsthand experience. At our Wilmington practice, you are treated with the honesty, integrity, and personalized attention you deserve.
The secret is the peptide stabilizer. Traditional brands use human serum albumin or animal-based proteins to deliver the product; Daxxify uses a unique peptide that allows it to bind more effectively to the nerve, extending the duration of the effect.
While the cost per treatment may be higher than traditional options, many patients find it more cost-effective over time because they require fewer appointments per year.
