Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment Guide
Wrinkle relaxer treatments, like those using botulinum toxin (e.g., Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin), are minimally invasive procedures designed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Here’s what to expect:
Consultation
- Assessment: A trained provider will evaluate your facial anatomy and discuss your goals.
- Medical History: They’ll ask about your medical history, allergies, and any medications you’re taking.
- Plan: The provider will recommend the best areas for treatment and the appropriate dosage.
Preparation
- Clean Skin: The treatment area will be cleaned to remove makeup, dirt, or oils.
- Numbing (Optional): Though not usually necessary, a numbing cream or ice pack may be applied to minimize discomfort.
The Procedure
- Injections: Using a very fine needle, the provider will inject small amounts of the wrinkle relaxer into specific muscles.
- Duration: The process typically takes 10–20 minutes.
- Sensation: You might feel a slight pinch or pressure but minimal pain.
Aftercare
- Avoid Rubbing: Do not touch or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent the product from migrating.
- Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous exercise, lying down, or heat exposure for the rest of the day.
- Minor Side Effects: Some redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites is normal and temporary.
Results
- Timeline: Effects typically begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full results visible in 7–14 days.
- Duration: Results last about 3–6 months, depending on the product used and individual response.
Follow Up
- After your treatment, your injector will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you achieve the best results. Typically, you’ll notice smoother, firmer skin within a few days, with results lasting 3 to 4 months!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are toxins?
Toxins are purified proteins that temporarily weaken the muscle. It’s used to soften the appearance of wrinkles and creases as well as lifting affects in some areas.
How long does Jeuveau or Dysport last?
Results typically last between 3-5 months. Over time, the body metabolizes the toxin and muscles gradually regain movement. Retreatment can be done every 3-4 months to maintain results or prevent future fine lines.
Are their side effects?
Toxins are generally safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Some common side effects include bruising, headaches, and flu-like symptoms. Serious side effects like muscle weakness can occur.
Who should not get toxins?
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. People with certain neurological diseases should not get toxins.
What is Sculptra?
Scultpra is a FDA- approved injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that triggers the body’s natural collagen production, helping to restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles.
How does sculptra work?
Once injected, Sculptra gradually stimulates collagen within the skin, leading to a fuller appearance over time. Most patients require 2-4 sesions several weeks or months apart to achieve optimal results.
How long do results from Sculptra last?
Depending on the individual results can last up to two years.
What are dermal fillers and what do they treat?
The two most common hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are Restylane and Juvederm. Dermal fillers are non-surgical cosmetic treatments designed to restore volume, enhance contours, and rejuvenate the skin’s appearance. Fillers are injected into targeted areas to address signs of aging, volume loss, and facial asymmetry.
