Daxxify delivers up to 6 months of wrinkle-smoothing results — roughly twice as long as traditional Botox — with a single treatment. Now available at Naya Wellness in Santa Barbara, administered by experienced, board-certified injectors.
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxin A-lanm) is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator developed by Revance Therapeutics. Like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, Daxxify works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — but it stands apart in two key ways.
First, Daxxify lasts significantly longer. In clinical trials, the median duration was 6 months for glabellar (frown) lines, with some patients seeing results extend to 9 months. Traditional neuromodulators typically last 3–4 months.
Second, Daxxify uses a proprietary peptide excipient (RTP004) rather than human serum albumin or animal-derived proteins found in other neuromodulators. This makes Daxxify the first peptide-stabilized botulinum toxin — a meaningful innovation for patients who prefer protein-free formulations.
At Naya Wellness in Santa Barbara, our injectors customize each Daxxify treatment to your facial anatomy, goals, and lifestyle — ensuring natural-looking, long-lasting results that fit your pace of life on the Central Coast.
Our Santa Barbara clinic at 601 East Arrellaga St. serves patients from Montecito, Goleta, Carpinteria, Ventura, and throughout the Santa Barbara area.
Daxxify is FDA-approved for glabellar (frown) lines and is used by our Santa Barbara injectors to address a full range of dynamic wrinkles and aesthetic concerns.
Daxxify is a great option if you:
Not suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you have a known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin.
Daxxify contains daxibotulinumtoxin A, a botulinum toxin type A that blocks the neuromuscular signal telling facial muscles to contract. When injected into targeted muscles, it temporarily prevents the muscle movement that causes dynamic wrinkles.
What sets Daxxify apart is its RTP004 peptide excipient. This proprietary charged peptide binds to and stabilizes the neurotoxin complex, allowing it to remain active at the injection site longer than traditional formulations — which is why results last approximately twice as long.
The neurotoxin itself does not spread systemically. Effects are localized to the injected muscle. As the nerve endings regenerate over time, normal muscle function gradually returns — there is no permanent change.
Your injector reviews your goals, facial anatomy, and medical history. Together you decide on areas and dosing — typically 30 minutes for new patients at our Santa Barbara clinic.
The treatment area is cleansed. Optional topical numbing cream is applied for 10–15 minutes. Ice can also be used for comfort.
Using ultra-fine needles, Daxxify is precisely injected into the target muscles. You may feel a brief, mild pinch at each point. Most patients describe it as very tolerable.
No downtime. Resume normal activities immediately. Avoid lying flat, strenuous exercise, and rubbing the area for 4 hours. Initial results appear in 1–3 days; full results by day 14. Duration: up to 6 months.
All three are FDA-approved botulinum toxin A neuromodulators. Here’s how they differ — and why patients in Santa Barbara choose Daxxify at Naya Wellness.

Exact pricing depends on the number of areas treated and units required, which varies by individual anatomy and goals. Your injector will provide a precise quote during your consultation.

Everything you need to know about Daxxify injections at our Santa Barbara location.
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxin A-lanm) is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that, like Botox, temporarily relaxes facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles. The key difference is duration: Daxxify lasts approximately 6 months, while Botox typically lasts 3–4 months.
Daxxify also uses a unique peptide excipient (RTP004) instead of human serum albumin, making it the first neuromodulator free of human or animal-derived proteins. This proprietary peptide stabilizes the toxin and is responsible for its extended longevity.
In FDA clinical trials, Daxxify demonstrated a median duration of 6 months for glabellar (frown) lines. Approximately 50% of trial participants maintained results at the 6-month mark, and some experienced results lasting up to 9 months.
Individual results vary based on metabolism, muscle activity, units used, and the areas treated. Your Naya Wellness Santa Barbara injector will help set realistic expectations during your consultation.
Daxxify is FDA-approved for moderate to severe glabellar lines (the frown lines between the brows). At Naya Wellness Santa Barbara, our trained injectors also use it off-label for:
Daxxify has an established safety profile consistent with other botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators. It is FDA-approved and has been evaluated in large-scale clinical trials.
Common, temporary side effects include:
Daxxify should not be used if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin components.
Daxxify injections take approximately 15–20 minutes. There is no downtime — you can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Post-treatment instructions:
Initial results appear within 1–3 days; full results are visible by day 14.
Daxxify is priced per unit. Per-session cost is higher than Botox, but since you only need approximately 2 treatments per year (vs. 3–4 for Botox), the annual spend is often comparable or lower.

Yes. If you’ve been satisfied with Botox or Dysport but want longer-lasting results, Daxxify is an excellent upgrade. You can make the switch at your next scheduled treatment — no washout period is required.
Your Naya Wellness Santa Barbara injector will adjust the dosing appropriately, as Daxxify unit equivalence differs from Botox. Most patients who switch report equal or improved satisfaction with results lasting nearly twice as long.
Absolutely. Daxxify pairs beautifully with dermal fillers for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation — sometimes called a “liquid lift.” It also complements microneedling and chemical peels.
We generally recommend spacing Daxxify and other injectable treatments by at least 2 weeks when possible. Your Santa Barbara injector will build a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
