The Importance of Sun Protection when using Daxxify

Daxxify is the latest injectable to hit the headlines—and with good reason. It offers incredible longevity when compared with its competitors, such as Botox and Dysport. However, as with all injectables, its use does come with some cautions. One of these is the importance of sun protection.

The following discusses why this is so and whether or not you should be worried about it…

Daxxify in Brief

What it is

Daxxify is the newest kid on the block when it comes to injectables. It stormed into the market at the beginning of 2023 after receiving FDA approval in the backend of 2022. While its effects are similar to the more well-known names, such as Botox, Jeuveau, and Dysport, the biggest difference and reason to change allegiance to Daxxify is its longevity.

While other injectables last around 3 months or so, Daxxify effects are still seen 6 or more months after treatment.

Who is it suitable for?

Daxxify is approved to treat glabellar lines in those 18 years and over. However, much in the way that dermatologists use Botox et al off license to treat other areas of the body, this also applies to Daxxify.

Daxxify, sun protection, and other considerations

One important aspect to factor in post-Daxxify treatment is sun protection after treatment. This is because, even though it’s only a minimally invasive treatment, it does still break the integrity of the skin. Therefore, the skin needs time to heal.

Excessive sun exposure can affect this by negatively impacting the skin’s healing process. While there’s no evidence that sunlight causes any change to the longevity of Daxxify, it can exacerbate any of the post-treatment issues. These include bruising, swelling, itching, or even cause pigmentation changes.

The best Daxxify sun protection

While the very best sun protection is to stay out of it, that certainly isn’t practical for many of us—especially during the summer months. Plus, we all need a little bit of sunlight to top up our vitamin D levels.

So, what’s the answer?

Easy… Take advantage of the following:

• Factor 50 sun cream: all day, every day.
• A brimmed hat: to ensure your face stays in the shade. No matter what your fashion likes and loves, you’ll be sure to find a hat or two that totally suits your vibe.
• No sunbathing or tanning salons: and that goes for any time, not just after having Daxxify.
• Fall in love with fake tan: With today’s many excellent products on the market, it’s simple to fake that sun-kissed glow.

If you’re making the effort to enhance your great looks with Daxxify, then you’re certainly not going to want to subject yourself to the aging properties of the sun. The 4 steps above should be something you adhere to at any time of life. Too much sun will directly cause the skin to age faster, so try to avoid this at all costs.
