BOTOX is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes muscle contractions. It’s injected into specific facial muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by preventing muscle movement.

Wrinkle relaxers are essentially a no-downtime treatment. Most people feel comfortable returning to work immediately, though we may ask that you refrain from activities like heavy lifting and strenuous exercise.

Slight temporary swelling, redness, and bruising are common after injectable treatments. However, these side effects are minimal, and in no time, you’ll be enjoying a smoother, more wrinkle-free appearance.

You only need one wrinkle relaxer treatment to see results, though it may take a couple of weeks to see the final outcome.

Safe and well-tolerated, wrinkle relaxers can be injected into multiple treatment areas during a single session. The more sites that are treated, the more profound the final results. During your initial consultation with one of our board-certified dermatologists, we will listen to your concerns, assess your problem areas, and determine where treatment is necessary for optimal results.

We offer BOTOX Cosmetic treatments that typically last three to four months.

As time passes, your results will gradually fade, and concerns such as wrinkles or slight brow asymmetry may return. Routinely scheduled maintenance treatments can help you maintain ongoing improvements.

Redness, bruising, and slight swelling at the injection site are common but temporary side effects of wrinkle relaxers. Some patients may also experience a temporary sensation of heaviness or skin tightness in the treatment area. These effects typically resolve on their own within a few weeks.

Serious side effects are rare but can include headache, ptosis (drooping eyelid), nose and throat irritation, blurred vision, and general muscle weakness. During your initial consultation, we will provide detailed information about potential risks to ensure you make an informed decision about your treatment.

Wrinkle relaxers interrupt the signal between nerves and muscles to prevent tension. This allows dynamic wrinkles – those that occur with facial movement – to relax and smooth, making wrinkle relaxers ideal for crow’s feet, bunny lines, frown lines, and lip lines.

Dermal fillers replace volume loss and can stimulate collagen and elastin production to “refill” to areas of the face that have become sunken or droopy. Fillers are best for static wrinkles – those that are always present – such as on the cheeks or next to the mouth. Fillers can also add volume to tear troughs, temples, and, depending on the formulation, to other areas such as the lips and the back of the hands.
