What It Is

There are dozens of little muscles in the face that influence how we express ourselves — some lifting, some pulling. Wrinkle relaxers (like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®) help soften overactive muscles that contribute to lines, while still allowing your natural expression to shine through. It’s not about freezing your face — it’s about fine-tuning and refreshing your look.

We use these treatments to smooth lines, soften frown wrinkles, lift the corners of the mouth, contour the jawline, and even refine chin dimpling — all while keeping results natural.

Common Treatment Areas

We typically treat areas where repetitive muscle movement causes lines to form:

Forehead lines

Frown lines (a.k.a. “11s”)

Crow’s feet (lines at the outer eyes)

Bunny lines (nose scrunch)

Lip flip

Chin texture

Masseters (for facial slimming or TMJ)

Some wrinkles caused by sun damage or gravity may be better suited to other treatments like dermal fillers — we’ll assess this together during your consult.

How to Prepare

Here are a few things to avoid before your appointment to reduce bruising and ensure best results:

No Aspirin, Advil, or other anti-inflammatories for 10–14 days

No alcohol for at least 24–48 hours

Let us know if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any allergies or medical conditions

Come with clean skin — no makeup or lotions on the treatment area

How It Works

We use a fine needle to gently inject small amounts of the wrinkle-relaxing formula into the targeted muscles. This temporarily relaxes muscle activity, softening wrinkles and helping to prevent new ones from forming.

The treatment is quick — usually under 15 minutes — and discomfort is minimal. Most clients describe it as just a few little “pinches.” Numbing cream is available if you're extra sensitive.

What to Expect After Treatment

Results begin in 2–3 days, with full results in 10–14 days

You’ll look more refreshed and relaxed — never frozen

Results typically last around 3–4 months

We’ll schedule maintenance appointments to keep your look fresh

Aftercare (First 24 Hours)

To ensure optimal results and avoid spreading the product, avoid:

Rubbing or touching treated areas

Lying flat for 4 hours

Strenuous activity or working out

Saunas, hot tubs, or tanning

Alcohol consumption

Facial massages or treatments

You can return to most normal activities right away!

Potential Side Effects

Most clients experience little to no downtime. Mild swelling, redness, or small bruises at injection sites can happen and fade quickly. Rare but possible side effects include:

Mild headache

Temporary drooping eyelid or brow (if aftercare is not followed)

Uneven results (usually correctable at your follow-up)

Your safety is always our top priority — we’ll go over everything during your appointment so you feel fully informed and confident.
