DAXXIFY
What is DAXXIFY?
At Maryland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer DAXXIFY®, a groundbreaking injectable that helps smooth away wrinkles and restore a youthful appearance with results that last longer than ever before.
Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Samuel Hahn, we welcome patients from Baltimore, Towson, Columbia, and the surrounding areas of Maryland.
DAXXIFY from Revance Aesthetics is an advanced injectable neuromodulator, similar to Botox, but with significant advancement in its formulation for longer-lasting results.
The wrinkle treatment works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for facial wrinkles, particularly around the forehead and eyes. Powered by a botulinum toxin and a novel peptide, DAXXIFY® is skillfully administered by Dr. Hahn to achieve a smoother, more refreshed facial appearance.
How Does DAXXIFY Work?
DAXXIFY works by targeting the communication between nerves and muscles in the treated area. When injected, the botulinum toxin component of DAXXIFY blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes muscle contractions. This results in temporary relaxation of the muscle, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.
In addition to its muscle-relaxing properties, DAXXIFY also contains a peptide that helps to stimulate collagen production in the skin. This means that not only does DAXXIFY temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but it also works to improve skin texture and elasticity over time.
Bring the first botulinum toxin product with peptide exchange technology, the treatment has no human or animal byproduct.
Benefits of DAXXIFY

Overall, the injectable product offers a safe, effective, and convenient option for addressing a variety of facial concerns.
What Can Be Treated with DAXXIFY?
DAXXIFY offers a versatile cosmetic treatment for relaxing facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, helping you achieve a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
- Frown Lines Between the Brows: The treatment is FDA-approved to smooth moderate to severe frown line treatments between the eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines or “11” lines. By temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for frowning, DAXXIFY helps soften these facial lines, resulting in a more youthful and relaxed appearance.
- Forehead Wrinkles: Horizontal forehead lines and creases that develop across the forehead due to repetitive facial expressions can be effectively treated by targeting the underlying muscles. The cosmetic injectable smooths these wrinkles and prevents severe lines from forming.
- Crow’s Feet: Also known as periorbital lines, crow’s feet are the fine lines and wrinkles that form around the outer corners of the eyes, often as a result of squinting or smiling. The anti-wrinkle treatment reduces the appearance of crow’s feet by relaxing the muscles around the eyes, creating a more refreshed and vibrant look.
- Brow Lift: Injections can be used strategically to lift and shape the eyebrows, creating a more lifted and youthful appearance on the upper face. By targeting specific muscles, the brows are elevated to open up the eyes and give you a more alert and rejuvenated look.
- Bunny Lines: The neurotoxin softens lines on the nose by relaxing the muscles responsible for their formation, resulting in a smoother and more harmonious appearance.
- Neck Bands: By injecting into the platysma muscles, these bands can be softened, creating a more youthful and contoured neck appearance.
- Chin Dimpling: By relaxing the mentalis muscle, DAXXIFY reduces the appearance of chin dimpling, resulting in a smoother and more even chin contour.
- Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating): DAXXIFY can also be used to treat hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating. By blocking the signals that stimulate sweat glands, DAXXIFY can significantly reduce sweating in areas such as the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet, improving comfort and confidence.
- Large Masseter Muscles (Jaw Slimming): DAXXIFY can also be used for jaw slimming by targeting the masseter muscles, which can become enlarged due to activities like teeth grinding or excessive chewing. By injecting into these muscles, they are temporarily relaxed, resulting in a slimmer and more defined jawline.
What to Expect During Treatment
Before your treatment, your healthcare provider will discuss your desired outcomes and assess your facial anatomy to determine the appropriate injection sites. They may also apply a numbing cream or ice pack to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
During the treatment, small amounts of DAXXIFY will be injected into the targeted muscles using a fine needle. You may feel a slight pinch or stinging sensation, but overall, the procedure is well-tolerated by most patients.
Am I a Good Candidate for DAXXIFY?
If you are bothered by the appearance of frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, or overactive muscle activity, you may be a good candidate for this neurotoxin treatment!
DAXXIFY injectable treatments are safe for all skin types and tones and in combination with dermal fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane.
You should not undergo DAXXIFY if you:
- are pregnant or breastfeeding
- have a neuromuscular disorder
- have an active skin infection in the treatment area
- currently take blood thinners or muscle relaxants
During your consultation, Dr. Hahn will discuss any medical conditions alongside your treatment goals to determine whether this treatment option is right for you.
