DAXXIFY® is FDA-approved to smooth moderate to severe lines between the brows. It is the only long-lasting frown line treatment powered by a peptide with results that last on average 6 months and up to 9 months for some.*
The active ingredient in DAXXIFY® is a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A.

All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, BOTOX® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant.
DAXXIFY® is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.

In short, no, and here’s why. Units are like fingerprints—they are a proprietary measurement of a treatment’s unique potency. Because of the differences in how treatments are formulated and tested, you cannot compare or convert Units between them, just like you cannot compare 2 fingerprints.

A clearer way to understand dosing is to look at how many nanograms of active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A) a product has.
Double the Units does not mean double the dose.

DAXXIFY®

Approved frown line dose: 40 Units

Amount of active ingredient: 0.18 nanograms

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Approved frown line dose: 20 Units

Amount of active ingredient: 0.18 nanograms

As you can see, despite the number of Units, DAXXIFY® isn’t 2x the dose of BOTOX® Cosmetic.

DAXXIFY® is manufactured in California, and the only prescription frown line treatment made in the United States. Conventional frown line treatments are manufactured in other countries, then imported into the United States.

The safety and efficacy of DAXXIFY® is well established, with more than 20 years of research. In fact, DAXXIFY® has been studied in the largest-ever phase 3 clinical trial conducted for a frown line treatment and included more than 2,800 people across different ages and with different skin types. DAXXIFY® was studied in patients with varying skin types.
