Spa Renaissance provides Daxxify treatments in Detroit, MI, and the surrounding Detroit metropolitan area. This FDA-approved peptide-based wrinkle treatment addresses moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines), offering a longer-lasting alternative to traditional neuromodulators for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
What Is Daxxify?
Daxxify (DaxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is a botulinum toxin type A injectable designed to smooth dynamic facial wrinkles. Unlike other neuromodulators that use human serum albumin to stabilize the active ingredient, Daxxify utilizes a proprietary Peptide Exchange Technology™ (PXT).
This novel peptide formulation stabilizes the botulinum toxin, allowing for efficient delivery to the nerve terminals. This mechanism temporarily inhibits muscle contractions that cause frown lines, resulting in smoother skin for an extended duration compared to conventional injectables.
Benefits of Daxxify Treatments
As a next-generation neuromodulator, Daxxify offers specific advantages for patients seeking the best neuromodulator treatment for their needs:
- Longevity: Clinical studies indicate that Daxxify treatments can provide sustained improvement in the appearance of frown lines for six to nine months.
- Peptide Formulation: This product utilizes a unique stabilizing peptide to deliver the active ingredient to the nerve cells, eliminating the need for human or animal-based proteins.
- Efficiency: Because the results last longer than traditional neuromodulators, patients enjoy reduced maintenance frequency with fewer required office visits throughout the year.
- Efficacy: Daxxify is FDA-approved and highly effective for smoothing moderate to severe dynamic lines, particularly glabellar lines between the eyebrows.
Candidates for Daxxify
Individuals seeking a frown line reduction treatment may be candidates for this procedure. A Daxxify consultation at Spa Renaissance is necessary to assess skin condition and medical history. General candidacy criteria include:
- Adults with moderate to severe glabellar lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows)
- Patients seeking a long-lasting Botox alternative to reduce appointment frequency
- Individuals looking for a vegan-friendly formulation free from human or animal byproducts
- Patients in good general health with realistic expectations regarding outcomes
The Daxxify Procedure
The Daxxify procedure is an in-office treatment performed by our certified Daxxify injector, typically taking approximately 15 to 20 minutes. The process begins with a detailed assessment where the provider maps the facial anatomy to identify the specific muscles contributing to wrinkle formation. Once the treatment area is cleansed, the provider uses a fine-gauge needle to administer the product directly into the target muscles.
Discomfort is generally minimal and often described as a slight pinch. Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately following the appointment.
Recovery and Aftercare
There is no required downtime following Daxxify injections. Patients are advised to remain upright for four hours and avoid strenuous physical activity for 24 hours for optimal product settling. Visible smoothing may be apparent as early as one to two days after treatment.
Clinical data indicate that the results last an average of six months, with some patients maintaining the effects for up to nine months. Due to this extended duration, many patients require only two treatments per year to maintain results.
How Much Does Daxxify Cost in Detroit, MI?

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Daxxify differ from Botox?
The primary difference lies in the formulation. Daxxify is stabilized by a proprietary peptide, whereas Botox uses human serum albumin. This peptide technology contributes to Daxxify's ability to maintain results for approximately six to nine months, compared to the three to four months typical of other neuromodulators.
Is Daxxify safe?
Daxxify is an FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer with a safety profile consistent with other botulinum toxin type A products. It has been rigorously tested in large-scale clinical trials involving thousands of patients and has been deemed safe for use in adults.
What are the potential side effects?
As with any injection, mild side effects may occur, including temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These issues are generally self-limiting and resolve quickly; your provider will discuss all potential risks during your consultation to ensure patient safety.
What other procedures can be combined with Daxxify?
Daxxify can be combined with other non-surgical modalities for comprehensive rejuvenation. Common combinations include dermal fillers for volume restoration or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for skin texture improvement.
Is Daxxify suitable for men?
Yes, Daxxify is an excellent option for men seeking facial rejuvenation, often referred to as "Brotox." Men frequently have stronger facial muscles and may benefit significantly from the potency and longevity of Daxxify to treat deep-set frown lines.

Patient Testimonials
This was the best decision I have ever made. I met with Dr. Stefani and hired him & received a full mommy makeover. I had met with several doctors as well, as this was a big decision to make. Dr. Stefani made me feel the most comfortable and he has a great bedside manner. Also, to be completely honest after surgery …He exceeded my expectations. I almost cried after I saw what I looked like after surgery. I had 3 c sections prior and nothing was ever the same after that. I feel better than I did before kids and I wish I did this sooner. If you are even slightly hesitant …don’t be! Dr. Stefani is AMAZING.
Dr. Williams is one of the most caring and talented doctors I have ever met! I was diagnosed with breast CA 2 years ago and was referred to him for reconstruction after choosing to do a bilateral mastectomy. Boy was I scared !! He put me at ease right away with great information on what to expect along and seemed to generally care about me even though we had just met! I knew I was in the best hands! Now after 2 years, not to sound weird, I get compliments on my "new" breasts all the time, even my family Dr gave them a big WOW! Cherry on top, he did a Tummy tuck on me to even out new look, and also get compliments all the time!
Dr. Miguel is the absolute best!! I've had rhinoplasty in the past with another surgeon, and I came in for a consultation with Dr. Miguel for an alar base reduction (narrowing of nostrils). He was so honest with his answer, and he told me it was not needed. He said the procedure was unnecessary, and to leave my nose just the way it is. He told me all the things that could go wrong if I were to go forward with this procedure. I am so grateful for his honesty, and I appreciate his conservative approach. If you are looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon and want honest feedback with natural results, please consult with Dr. Miguel.
