What is Daxxify?
Daxxify is a FDA approved cosmetic injectable that temporarily relaxes moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet by targeting specific facial muscles. Using botulinum toxin type A and a novel peptide exchange technology, Daxxify blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, resulting in smoother skin.
As a new, innovative botulinum toxin wrinkle treatment, Daxxify gives you longer lasting results with a unique peptide based technology. Whether you want to soften forehead lines, crow’s feet or severe frown lines, Daxxify can help you look refreshed and youthful with confidence.
How it Works
Daxxify injections deliver a highly purified botulinum toxin into the targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. By interrupting the nerve signals, it temporarily relaxes the muscles, smoothing the overlying skin without compromising your ability to make natural facial expressions.
What it’s Made Of
Unlike other botulinum toxin treatments, Daxxify uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer instead of human or animal byproducts. This peptide exchange technology enhances the binding efficiency of the active ingredient, giving you longer lasting results without extra stabilizers found in other brands like Botox.
Key Features:
- Active Ingredient: Botulinum toxin type A
- Unique Formulation: Peptide-stabilized (no human or animal byproducts)
- Developed by: Revance Therapeutics

Daxxify helps:
- Temporarily relax moderate to severe frown lines

The Procedure – What to Expect
Daxxify at AboutFace in Alexandria is a quick and comfortable process, customized to your aesthetic goals.
1. Consultation and Planning
We will review your medical history, current skin health and medications you are taking. Your provider will discuss your concerns, examine your facial anatomy and create a customized Daxxify treatment plan.
2. Preparation
Your skin will be cleaned and specific injection sites will be marked. A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
3. Injection
Daxxify is injected into the muscle using a fine needle. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes depending on the areas being treated.
4. Aftercare
After your treatment, we will give you instructions to maximize your results and minimize potential side effects like swelling or tenderness at the injection site.
5. Pain and Discomfort
Most patients report minimal discomfort, a quick pinch at each injection site. Ice packs or numbing agents are available to make you more comfortable.
Results, Duration & Aftercare
When Results Become Visible

| Daxxify | 6–9 months |
