DAXXIFY Neurotoxin Injection in Columbus

DAXXIFY® (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is the newest neurotoxin available at Ohio Plastic Surgery Specialists, and the first FDA-approved neuromodulator formulated with a peptide instead of the human or animal-derived proteins used to stabilize other neurotoxins. At our Gahanna practice, DAXXIFY neurotoxin injection treatments are performed by Holly McKibben, Certified Nurse Practitioner and lead of our Ohio Plastic Surgery Specialists MedSpa, under the oversight of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Walter Bernacki.

DAXXIFY® is FDA-approved to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines (glabellar lines) in adults. What sets it apart is duration: in clinical trials, patients saw an average of six months of results, with some patients maintaining results for up to nine months. That’s roughly double what most patients experience with other neurotoxin options. For patients who love their results but don’t love setting appointments every three months to maintain them, DAXXIFY neurotoxin injection is worth discussing at your next consultation.

At Ohio Plastic Surgery Specialists, your comfort and results guide every part of your treatment. When you come in for DAXXIFY neurotoxin injection, you will start with a conversation about your goals, your history with other neurotoxins if you’ve had them, and what you’re hoping to improve. Because DAXXIFY® behaves a little differently from Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau (it settles in gradually over the following weeks rather than showing full results in days), we will walk you through exactly what to expect at each stage, so there are no surprises between your appointment and your final results.

Dr. Walter Bernacki oversees treatment protocol at Ohio Plastic Surgery Specialist and is available to perform DAXXIFY neurotoxin injections personally when needed. For most patients, our head of aesthetics, Holly McKibben, CNP will be your dedicated provider from consultation through follow-up.

Patients researching the best neurotoxin option in Columbus are increasingly asking about DAXXIFY®, largely because of one factor: how long it lasts. A treatment that is held for six to nine months instead of three to four means fewer appointments per year. For many patients this offers a more predictable budget for maintaining results over time and less appointment time on their calendar.

Built to last longer: The peptide in DAXXIFY®’s formulation binds more securely to the nerve terminal, which is believed to be why its effects last significantly longer than traditional neurotoxins.

A cleaner formulation: DAXXIFY neurotoxin injection is the only FDA-approved neurotoxin that doesn’t rely on human serum albumin or animal-derived proteins for stabilization, some patients specifically look for this in their treatment choices.

Fast to start working: Many patients notice initial changes within 24 hours, sooner than the typical timeline for other neurotoxins.
