Wrinkle Relaxers
more about this service
Neuromodulators, also known as wrinkle relaxers, work to temporarily reduce muscle movement and smooth skin and expression lines.
Products like BOTOX and Dysport prevent fine lines, wrinkles and deep resting lines from occurring. Common treatable areas include frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines and crows feet around the eyes.
There are numerous off-label uses for neuromodulators including platysmal (neckbands), underarm sweating, chin dimpling, jaw clenching, lip flips and more.
Getting Started
New clients will start with our consultation where we learn more about your history and goals and discuss your treatment options.
Your provider will sit with you to discuss your main concerns. Together, you’ll discuss goals, budget, and final treatment plan. You will either schedule your first treatment or, if applicable, receive it then. Your provider will then schedule any necessary follow-up.
For the best results, we recommend you receive your BOTOX, Dysport, and DAXXIFY treatment every three to four months.
Common Questions
-
24-48 hours before your appointment you should try and avoid consuming alcohol, caffeine, and aspirin.
Optimal results happen about two weeks after your appointment, so be sure not to book too close to a special event.
-
Your provider will send you home with an exhaustive list of aftercare instructions, but these are a few of our biggest recommendations post-treatment:
Refrain from drinking alcohol for 24 hours as this can promote spreading of the product into unintended areas.Avoid facials, peels, dental treatments, or face down massages for 2 weeks. Sleep on your back for 1 week.
New lippies?! Avoid kissing, puckering, using a straw or any lip plumper as this can displace the filler.
Avoid aspirin, Ibuprofen, or any blood thinning medication for 24 hours. Avoid Retinol products for 2 days.
Avoid extreme heat or cold as well as strenuous activity for 24 hours.

There is a mild discomfort from the injection, however we use a very small needle for the procedure and it feels similar to tweezing an eyebrow. We offer ice, vibration distraction tools and a lovely assistant to help make your experience as comfortable as possible.
-
No! Our injectors specialize in a conservative approach giving you the most natural result. However, some of our patients prefer little to no movement. Either way, we are able to tailor your treatment to your specific needs!
-
Every 3-4 months. It is important to understand that neurotoxin is a medication much like an antibiotic, blood pressure medication, Ibuprofen etc. So in order to prevent resistance (aka building up a tolerance), we require a minimum of 90 days between each treatment.
-
We always see new patients 2 weeks after their initial visit with us! That way we can make sure everything is perfect and you are satisfied with your result.
