Before & After
An actual Solas patient treated by Celeste — deep forehead lines smoothed with long-lasting results.
DAXXIFY · EL PASO, TX
Daxxify is the newest FDA-approved neurotoxin — and the longest-lasting. While Botox lasts 3–4 months, Daxxify typically lasts 6–9 months, meaning just one or two treatments per year. Available in El Paso at Solas Health & Wellness by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC.
QUICK ANSWER
Daxxify isn't "better" — it's longer-lasting. Botox lasts 3–4 months; Daxxify typically lasts 6–9 months (Revance's SAKURA trial: 50% of patients still had benefit at 6 months, 24% at 9). That means one or two treatments per year instead of three or four. Pricing at Solas is $9.50/unit at 20+ units, so a typical upper-face treatment (60 units total) runs about $550. Every visit is with Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC, a Revance-authorized provider. Not every patient is a Daxxify candidate — if you're albumin-sensitive we'll stay with Botox instead.
WHAT IS DAXXIFY?
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is a botulinum toxin type A neurotoxin made by Revance Therapeutics. It received FDA approval in September 2022 — the first new neurotoxin approved in the U.S. in over a decade.
What makes Daxxify different: it uses a proprietary stabilizing peptide instead of human serum albumin (the stabilizer used in Botox). This innovation allows Daxxify to stay active in the tissue longer, producing results that typically last twice as long as Botox.
In Revance's FDA trials (SAKURA 1 & 2, 2,858 patients), 50% of patients maintained results at 6 months and 24% at 9 months. Most Daxxify patients come in just 1–2 times per year.
IS DAXXIFY RIGHT FOR YOU?
If Botox wears off before 3 months for you, Daxxify's longer-lasting formula changes the game.
Frequent travelers, executives, and anyone with a packed schedule — fewer clinic visits per year.
One or two appointments per year instead of three or four. Daxxify simplifies your aesthetic routine.
Daxxify is the first neurotoxin formulated without human serum albumin, for patients who prefer it.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Daxxify hits a touch faster than Botox and lasts about twice as long. Here's the typical curve — knowing what's normal at each stage avoids the 'is it working?' anxiety patients sometimes feel during the first week.
15–30 minute visit. Pinpoint redness or tiny bumps fade within an hour. Minimal bruising for most patients. You head straight back to your day — stay upright 4 hours, skip the gym for 24.
First muscle softening shows up — typically 1–2 days sooner than Botox. Less forehead movement, more rested look. This is the 'huh, that was fast' window.
Peak effect visible. If anything looks uneven, this is the touch-up window — we book free 2-week assessments for new Daxxify patients.
50% of patients still maintain results at month 6, 24% at month 9 (Revance SAKURA trials). Most patients book maintenance around month 5–6 so the relaxed look never breaks. Just 1–2 visits per year.
WHO CHOOSES DAXXIFY
Different patients pick Daxxify for different reasons. Here's how we match the product to the goal:
If Botox wears off before 3 months for you (some patients metabolize it fast), Daxxify changes the game. Patients with high muscle activity, athletes, and faster metabolizers consistently report better duration with Daxxify.
Executives, traveling professionals, parents of young kids — anyone who can't reliably book quarterly appointments. 1–2 visits per year is the appeal. Daxxify maintenance fits a once-a-summer + once-before-holidays rhythm easily.
Daxxify uses a peptide stabilizer instead of human serum albumin. For patients with known albumin sensitivity or who prefer an albumin-free product, Daxxify is the cleaner choice — a real biochemical differentiator, not marketing.
If you already know exactly what dose and look you want from Botox, Daxxify lets you lock in that result for twice as long. Best for patients past the experimentation phase.
Long-duration masseter treatment is appealing for grinders and aesthetic jaw-slimmers who don't want quarterly maintenance. Off-label use; see our masseter Botox page for the protocol detail.
Patients who want maintenance handled without scheduling 3–4 visits a year. Daxxify lets you stay ahead of lines with one summer visit + one fall visit — same look, half the appointments.
INSIDE-OUT AGING
Daxxify holds the muscle-driven part of aging at bay for 6–9 months. But hormones, mitochondrial energy, sleep, and stress shape what your skin looks like in the mirror. Patients getting the most natural-looking long-term results pair Daxxify with one or two wellness services:

COMMON QUESTIONS
Daxxify typically lasts 6 months, with some patients maintaining results for up to 9 months. In Revance's FDA approval trials, 50% of patients had results at 6 months and 24% at 9 months. This is approximately twice the duration of Botox (3–4 months).
Yes. The FDA approved Daxxify in September 2022 for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines / "11s") in adults. It's the first new neurotoxin to receive FDA approval in over a decade.
At Solas Health & Wellness, Daxxify is $9.50 per unit (at 20+ units) — slightly less than Botox at $10/unit. By area, that's $190 for the forehead (20 units), $190 for frown lines (20 units), $228 for crow's feet (24 units), or $550 for all three upper-face areas (60 units). Because Daxxify lasts twice as long, many patients save money compared to quarterly Botox treatments. Your exact dose is confirmed during your consultation.
Most patients describe the injections as a quick pinch — similar to Botox. We use fine-gauge needles and can apply topical numbing cream if desired. Treatment is typically completed in under 30 minutes.
Both are botulinum toxin type A products that temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth wrinkles. The key difference: Daxxify uses a proprietary stabilizing peptide instead of human albumin, which is why it lasts significantly longer — typically 6 months vs Botox's 3–4 months. The aesthetic results look identical. Learn more in our complete Daxxify vs Botox guide.
Yes. Many patients switch from Botox to Daxxify once their current treatment wears off. There's no special transition period — you simply start Daxxify at your next appointment. Celeste will review your goals and timeline during your consultation.

Daxxify onset typically begins around days 3–5 after injection — often 1–2 days sooner than Botox. Full results are visible at day 14. If anything looks uneven or asymmetric at the 2-week mark, that's the touch-up window — we book free 2-week assessments for new patients. Peak smoothing holds through approximately month 6, with about half of patients still maintaining results at month 9.
Yes — this is a real Daxxify differentiator. Botox uses human serum albumin as its stabilizer, which is rare but possible to react to. Daxxify uses a proprietary stabilizing peptide instead, with no albumin in the formula. For patients with known albumin sensitivity or who prefer an albumin-free product, Daxxify is the cleaner choice. Celeste will review your allergy history at consultation either way.
Daxxify is FDA-approved specifically for glabellar lines (frown lines), but it's used off-label for the same areas Botox treats — including masseter for jaw slimming and TMJ-driven clenching. The longer duration is appealing for masseter patients who don't want to come in every 3 months. See our masseter Botox and Botox for TMJ pages for protocol detail — we typically discuss whether Daxxify makes sense for your specific case at consultation.
Side effects are similar to Botox — most are mild and temporary: pinpoint redness, occasional minor bruising, mild headache for the first 1–2 days. Because Daxxify uses a peptide stabilizer instead of albumin, patients with albumin sensitivity don't have that risk. Long-term safety profile is comparable to Botox in clinical trials. The main practical difference patients notice: faster onset (days 3–5 vs days 5–7 for Botox) and much longer duration (6–9 months vs 3–4).
It depends on how committed you are to the look. Daxxify lasts 6–9 months — great if you love your result but a longer wait if you want to dial something back. For first-timers who aren't sure, we often start with Botox (shorter commitment, easier to adjust) and transition to Daxxify for maintenance once your protocol is dialed in. For first-timers who already know exactly what they want, Daxxify is fine to start.
Daxxify is $9.50/unit vs Botox at $10/unit — slightly less per unit. But Daxxify typically requires more units to treat the same area effectively (a "Daxxify unit" is not biologically identical to a "Botox unit"). Net effect: each treatment session is a similar total price, but Daxxify lasts twice as long. Annual cost is usually similar to or LESS than Botox if you maintain 3–4 times per year on Botox — you'd only need 1–2 Daxxify sessions to cover the same year.
