Peptide Powered Smoothing

Peptide Powered: Its unique peptide-powered formulation helps it bind more effectively, allowing results to last significantly longer than other options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Daxxify near Oak Brook, IL
Does Daxxify hurt?
Most patients find Daxxify very tolerable. The injections use a fine needle and take just a few minutes, with most describing a quick pinch. We can use comfort measures if needed.
How many units of Daxxify will I need?
Like all neuromodulators, your exact dosing depends on muscle strength, treatment area, and your goals, so your provider will confirm a personalized plan during your consultation at our Oakbrook Terrace, IL clinic.
When can I expect results with Daxxify?
Quickly! Most notice results the following day if not the same day, they will continue to improve with your final results at 2 weeks - this is when we advise a refinement visit at our Oakbrook Terrace clinic to follow up on your results and make adjustments as indicated.
Are there side effects or downtime after Daxxify?
Daxxify requires little to no downtime, and most patients return to their day right away. Generally, we recommend avoiding exercise for 24 hours and to stay upright for 4 hours post treatment. Mild, temporary effects such as small bumps, redness, or occasional bruising at the injection sites can occur and typically resolve quickly. We'll send you home with simple aftercare guidance.
How long will Daxxify last?
Most patients enjoy results for approximately 4-6 months, some even longer. Studies have shown improvements for as long as 9 months. When first starting Daxxify, we usually have clients come in at the 3 month mark to review before and after pictures, if they have sufficient results, we will not repeat treatment until at least 4-6 months. With consistent, well-planned treatments, many patients find that results begin to last longer over time as muscle activity becomes more controlled.
Will Daxxify make me look frozen?
Not unless that is your preference. Our signature approach focuses on refined, natural-looking results, but dosing and placement can be adjusted depending on your goals. We’ll guide you toward what best complements your features while ensuring your results feel aligned with how you want to look.
When should I start Daxxify?
There is no universal age, many patients begin when they notice lines becoming more persistent. We usually recommend considering starting when you start to see fine etched lines at rest, even without expressing. If you are unsure whether you are a good candidate, we highly encourage a complimentary consultation.
What makes Daxxify different than Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau?
Each product has unique characteristics. While Botox is the most well-known neuromodulator, alternatives such as Dysport, Jeuveau, and Daxxify are gaining significant popularity and may be recommended depending on your goals, muscle dynamics, and desired longevity. Daxxify is unique in that it is the first peptide-stabilized neuromodulator, formulated without human or animal byproducts. It is known for its longer duration, which is helpful for clients with several upcoming events, those who travel to see us, or those with a fear of needles, or wanting fewer visits.
Do I need to know what areas to get treated with Daxxify?
Not at all. Most patients come in with general concerns rather than specific treatment areas, and that’s exactly what the consultation is for. We assess your facial movement, anatomy, and goals to determine which areas would benefit most, then create a personalized plan designed to keep results balanced and natural.
What makes a Daxxify treatment look natural vs overdone?
Natural results come down to thoughtful dosing, precise placement, and an understanding of how the face moves as a whole, not just isolated lines. Injecting one muscle, impacts nearby muscles; they all interdigitate and your injectors should be well familiar with facial anatomy. Overdone results often occur when too much product is used or when treatment doesn’t account for overall facial balance. Our approach focuses on softening lines while preserving expression, so you look refreshed and well-rested, never over-treated.
Is Daxxify safe, and who performs the treatment?
Daxxify is an FDA-approved neuromodulator with a strong safety record when administered by a trained medical professional. More significant complications, such as unintended spread to nearby muscles or systemic effects are extremely rare. At TRUE Aesthetic Clinic in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, safety is not an afterthought, our providers are deeply trained in both prevention and management of complications and are part of a broader network of experienced injectors who collaborate on rare complex cases and adverse event management. You will always be treated with transparency, clinical judgment, and respect. If something doesn’t feel right, we take it seriously.
Can my Daxxify treatment be customized?
Absolutely. Daxxify is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Every plan is tailored based on your unique anatomy, muscle movement, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. We adjust dosing and placement and sometimes even the brand of the neuromodulator used in specific areas to create a treatment plan unique to you.
How do I choose the right provider?
Choosing the right provider is one of the most important factors in achieving a beautiful, natural result. Look for someone with advanced training, a strong understanding of facial anatomy, and good reviews. A thoughtful, unhurried consultation process and a customized approach are equally important. Finally, experience matters. Providers who perform aesthetic treatments regularly and focus on this work as a core part of their practice tend to develop a higher level of precision, consistency, and refined technique over time. At TRUE Aesthetic Clinic in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, every treatment is performed by a board-certified Nurse Practitioners, Jigna Gandhi NP-C and Renuka Patel, NP-C.
