Ask the clinic for: 닥시파이

Daxxify explained

Daxxify is a botulinum toxin type A made by the US company Revance. It is approved in the US for frown lines and for cervical dystonia, a neck muscle condition. It uses a peptide to stabilise the toxin instead of human albumin, and studies suggest its effect on frown lines often lasts longer than standard toxins.

How Daxxify works

Like other toxins, Daxxify blocks the nerve signal that makes a muscle contract. Its different formulation is thought to help the effect last longer in many people. It is injected the same way as other toxins, in small doses into the target muscles.
