Can combining Daxxify with other injectables like Juvederm lead to bad reactions or alters results? I use Juvederm regularly and would like to prevent this if possible.

Answer: Daxxify and filler interaction Hello! There is no data on the Daxxify manufacturer's website (Revance Aesthetics) indicating adverse reactions or cross-reactions with filler products. Fillers, such as Juvaderm, are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that naturally occurs in the body and gives skin a full, hydrated and supple appearance. Fillers eventually resorb over time because the enzyme hyaluronidase, made in the body, slowly breaks them down. Hyaluronidase is also made in a manufactured (synthetic form), which is what is used to dissolve filler voluntarily if needed. Similar to other botulinum toxin products, Daxxify should not cross-react with filler products in an adverse way because they target a very specific nerve to muscle receptor that is entirely different than hyaluronic acid. From a chemistry standpoint, they are different. Also, it would not be in the best interest of any company to sell a neurotoxin that cross-reacts with hyaluronic acid fillers as many of the patients that use one also use the other. Other adverse effects of the Daxxify listed from the manufacturer are still possible, but unrelated to the presence of hyaluronic acid filler as is currently known. Hope that helps shed some light on the new neurotoxin, Daxxify!
