Soften what's there. Prevent what's next.
Softened lines, still your expression.
Wrinkle Relaxers use neuromodulators to temporarily relax the small muscles responsible for expression lines, softening the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement. Common treatment areas include the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Treatment is customized to your facial anatomy and movement patterns for natural-looking results.
What to Expect
Neuromodulator is injected directly into targeted facial muscles using a fine needle — treatment typically takes 15 to 30 minutes with no downtime required afterward. Onset generally begins within 3 to 7 days, with full effect visible around 1 to 2 weeks. Results typically last approximately 3 to 4 months, though this varies by individual and treatment area.

Before & After
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Xeomin and Dysport?
Both are neuromodulators that work similarly to relax expression muscles, but they differ slightly in formulation, onset time, and how they diffuse once injected. Xeomin is a 'naked' formulation without added proteins, while Dysport tends to have a slightly faster onset and can spread a bit more broadly, which can be useful for larger treatment areas. Your provider will recommend the best option based on your goals and treatment area.
How long do results last?
Results typically last approximately 3 to 4 months, though this varies based on the individual, treatment area, and product used. Results tend to last longer with consistent, regular treatment over time.
How soon will I see results?
Onset generally begins within 3 to 7 days, with the full effect visible around 1 to 2 weeks after treatment.
Does it hurt?
Most clients tolerate treatment well. The needles used are very fine, and any discomfort is typically brief and minimal.
Will I look frozen or unnatural?
Dosing is customized to your facial anatomy and the degree of movement you'd like to retain, with the goal of a natural, refreshed appearance rather than a frozen look. Discuss your preferences with your provider during consultation.
Is there any downtime?
No significant downtime is associated with this treatment. Mild redness or small bumps at injection sites may occur but typically resolve quickly.
How often can I get treated?
Most clients return for treatment approximately every 3 to 4 months as results begin to wear off, though your provider can help determine the right schedule for your goals.
