Daxxify
in Cresskill, NJ
The frown lines between your brows form from years of repeated muscle movement. Daxxify relaxes those specific muscles so the skin above them smooths out, and it holds that result longer than most neuromodulators.
At GLOW by Elena Reitman MD, Dr. Reitman injects Daxxify with a technique calibrated to your muscle strength and facial anatomy. Patients in Cresskill and Bergen County walk out with full expression and fewer lines.
What Is Daxxify?
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator that temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted facial muscles. The reduced muscle contraction smooths dynamic wrinkles, most notably the frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines).
Daxxify is the first neuromodulator stabilized with a peptide rather than human or animal byproducts. That peptide is part of what helps the result last longer for many patients.
Dr. Reitman at GLOW uses Daxxify when a patient wants to stretch the time between maintenance visits without compromising a natural look.
Daxxify takes effect within a few days for most patients. Results commonly last around six months, and some patients hold smoothing even longer before a maintenance session is needed.
Benefits of Daxxify
Longer-Lasting Results
Most neuromodulators last three to four months. Daxxify commonly holds for around six months, which means fewer appointments across the year. GLOW patients in Cresskill and Bergen County who maintain a busy schedule value the longer interval.
Peptide-Stabilized Formula
Daxxify is stabilized with a proprietary peptide instead of human serum albumin. Patients who prefer a formula free of human and animal byproducts often choose Daxxify at GLOW for that reason.
Natural Movement Preserved
Dr. Reitman doses Daxxify conservatively at GLOW. The goal is to soften lines while keeping your brows, forehead, and eyes moving naturally. A refined result is the standard at GLOW by Elena Reitman MD, never an overcorrected one.
Physician-Led Care at GLOW
Every treatment at GLOW is performed or directly overseen by Dr. Elena Reitman, an Ivy League-trained, board-certified physician with eleven years of operating room experience.
Treatment Areas for Daxxify
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
The vertical "11" lines between your brows come from the corrugator and procerus muscles. Daxxify relaxes both, softening the crease that makes resting faces look tense or angry. This is the area Daxxify is FDA-approved to treat.
Forehead Lines
Horizontal creases across the forehead respond to Daxxify because the frontalis muscle is broad and flat. GLOW by Elena Reitman MD maps your forehead muscle activity before injecting, so the dose matches your specific contraction pattern.
Crow's Feet
Fine lines that fan out from the outer corners of your eyes deepen with every squint and smile. Daxxify at GLOW targets the orbicularis oculi muscle with precise micro-doses that smooth the lines without changing your smile shape.
Common Questions About Daxxify
How long does Daxxify last? +

Does Daxxify hurt? +
