Here's How DAXXIFY Can Help With Your Headaches

Pain killers, caffeine cutbacks, hot and cold therapy — you’ve tried every tip and trick out there to get a handle on your headaches to no avail. But you haven’t tried everything yet.

Most don’t consider a medical spa a logical stop in their headache treatment journey, but we might have what you need to stop your pounding head pain. Depending on the cause of your headaches, Dr. Chinyere Orafu and our team of experts at the Ohio Laser & Wellness Center may be able to treat them with Daxxify® injections.

Here’s how it works.

The science behind the injection

Daxxify is the latest iteration of the botulinum toxin. Once injected, the small dose temporarily paralyzes the muscles in your face, neck, scalp, and shoulders, relaxing them and reducing tension. The injections also block pain signals from reaching your brain, which can reduce your symptoms.

If your headaches stem from an underlying medical condition, Daily injections may not be best for you. But if muscle tension plays a big role in your headaches, they can provide significant relief.

Can Botox® do the same thing?

Revance Therapeutics, an American pharmaceutical company, has cracked the code on cosmetic injectables. Botox has been the gold standard for many years, but thanks to Revance's Peptide Exchange Technology™, it now has some competition.

Daxxify contains a 35-amino-acid excipient (filling material) that slows down the fading of the neuromodulator in your body, extending the lifespan of your headache relief. Where Botox lasts 3-4 months, Daxxify lasts 5-6 months.

Bonus: Daxxify does not contain human serum albumin or any human or animal products, which makes it vegan-friendly compared to Botox and other injectables.

What to know before you go

Daxxify is currently FDA-approved to treat cosmetic issues, including glabellar lines and frown lines, and most recently, cervical dystonia, a painful condition that causes involuntary contractions in your neck.

Daxxify can treat headaches and migraines off-label, so you must receive the injection from a licensed, specially trained, and experienced professional like Dr. Orafu.

What to expect once you get there

Daxxify injections are fast and easy, and the process is identical to the Botox injections you know and love. Daxxify is also as safe as Botox injections, and our patients tolerate it well.

After your injection, you might notice:

Bruising, pain, or itching at the injection site
Eyelid drooping
Facial numbness

These side effects are similar to those you’d expect from other neuromodulators, and they’re often mild, easy to manage, and temporary.
