Wrinkle Relaxers

How Can Wrinkle Relaxers Help Me?

Wrinkle relaxers, commonly known as neurotoxins or neuromodulators, are used to treat various areas of the face to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by muscle movement. These treatments can help create a smoother and more youthful appearance by targeting specific muscles that contribute to facial wrinkles and lines. Overall, wrinkle relaxers can be a practical option for those looking to reduce the signs of aging without undergoing more invasive procedures.

Why Most People Choose Wrinkle Relaxers

Reduce Dynamic Wrinkles: They target specific muscles responsible for wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. By temporarily relaxing these muscles, the wrinkles smooth out.
Prevent New Wrinkles: Regular use can prevent the deepening of existing wrinkles and delay the formation of new ones by reducing the muscle contractions that cause them.
Enhance Facial Expressions: While they relax muscles to reduce wrinkles, they still allow for natural facial expressions, so your face will look refreshed but not “frozen.”
Quick and Non-Surgical: The procedure is minimally invasive, typically involving just a few injections. Results are visible within days, and there is usually no downtime.
Customizable Treatment: Treatments can be tailored to address specific areas or concerns, allowing for a personalized approach based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Improved Confidence: By smoothing out wrinkles and providing a more youthful appearance, you might feel more confident in both personal and professional settings.

Most Common Areas Treated

Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines that form on the forehead due to raising the eyebrows. Neurotoxins can smooth these lines by relaxing the forehead muscles.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): Vertical lines between the eyebrows that occur from frowning or squinting. Neurotoxins help relax the muscles that create these lines.
Crow’s Feet: Wrinkles around the outer corners of the eyes, which develop from squinting or smiling. Neurotoxins can smooth these lines by relaxing the surrounding muscles.
Bunny Lines: Wrinkles that appear on the nose when you scrunch it. Neurotoxins can reduce their appearance by relaxing the muscles in that area.
Smoker’s Lines (Perioral Lines): Fine lines around the lips that can be treated with neurotoxins to help smooth the area and reduce the appearance of these lines.
Gummy Smile: When too much of the gums show when smiling, neurotoxins can relax the upper lip muscles to reduce this effect.
Jawline and Masseter Muscles: Neurotoxins can be used to relax the masseter muscles, which can help reduce the appearance of a square jawline or alleviate symptoms of bruxism (teeth grinding).
Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands): Vertical lines or bands on the neck that become more prominent with age. Neurotoxins can help soften these bands by relaxing the platysma muscles.

What do neuromodulators (aka wrinkle relaxers) do?

The product selected works to temporarily paralyze/relax the muscle and reduce the appearance of wrinkles for a more youthful look. Every brand will have slightly different results, but product is selected based on patient preference and provider assessment during consultation.

When will I see my results?

Each product will differ slightly on when most people begin to see a softening of their lines. However, full activation of the product is typically achieved in 14-21 days.

How long will my results last?

The ideal time frame for neuromodulators is between 10-16 weeks, but this will vary from patient to patient based on metabolism and lifestyle. Re-treatment is recommended every 3-5 months or when movement/lines return.

How many units will I need?

This is patient dependent. At your appointment the provider will perform an assessment to determine what areas you want treated, as well as what your desired results are.

Where can I get treated with neuromodulators?

The most popular areas treated are the 11 lines between the eyebrows, forehead, and crows feet. Many people use neuromodulators to help treat gummy smile, dimples in the chin, corners of the mouth for frowning, masseters to help slim the face, etc.

What age should I start getting tox?

There is no set age to start. The patient MUST be at least 18 years of age, however it is recommended to start between the ages of 25-30 to maintain the youthful appearance of skin and decrease the chances of developing deep "static" lines that occur from years of facial expressions. These lines can be harder to treat with tox alone and may require other services to reduce the appearance of them.

Will I look "fake"?

There are many misconceptions that surround neuromodulators and fillers. When treated properly and with a practitioner that has the experience and knowledge to do so, a natural result can be achieved.
