This guide walks you through everything you need to know about wrinkle relaxers: including treatment options, benefits, what to expect, and FAQs (so you can make an informed decision with confidence).
What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers are injectable treatments designed to temporarily relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—those lines that appear when you frown, smile, or squint. By softening muscle contractions, these treatments smooth existing lines and help prevent deeper creases from forming over time.
Common treatment areas include:
-
Forehead lines
-
Frown lines (the “11s” between the brows)
-
Crow’s feet around the eyes
-
Bunny lines on the nose
-
Chin dimpling
-
Peri-oral lines around lips
How Wrinkle Relaxers Work
Wrinkle relaxers use purified botulinum toxin proteins to block nerve signals to specific muscles. This relaxation softens wrinkles on the skin’s surface while preserving your natural expressions.
Most patients begin noticing results within 3–7 days, with full effects appearing around two weeks.

FAQs – Wrinkle Relaxers at SKINAESTHETICA
Considering Clear + Brilliant Touch and have questions? You’re not alone. Many patients want to know what results to expect, how long downtime lasts, and whether the treatment is right for their skin type. Below, we’ve answered the most common questions to help you feel confident about choosing this gentle yet effective laser treatment.
How long do wrinkle relaxers last?
Most wrinkle relaxers like Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Lytebo last about 3–4 months on average. Daxxify is the longest-lasting option, with results lasting up to 6 months for many patients. Your personal results depend on factors such as treatment area, muscle strength, and how quickly your body metabolizes the product.
Do wrinkle relaxers prevent new wrinkles from forming?
Yes. Regular treatments can “train” the treated muscles to stay relaxed, reducing repetitive movements that lead to new wrinkle formation. Starting preventative treatments in your late 20s or early 30s can help maintain smoother skin long-term.
How quickly will I see results after treatment?
You may start to see improvement as early as 3–5 days post-treatment, with full results developing by two weeks. We recommend scheduling follow-ups at consistent intervals for the best long-term outcomes.
Is there downtime after wrinkle relaxer injections?
Downtime is minimal. Most patients return to work or social activities immediately. Some experience mild redness, swelling, or tiny bumps at injection sites, but these typically resolve within hours. We suggest avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, or facial massages for 24 hours post-treatment.
Will my face look frozen or unnatural?
Not at SKINAESTHETICA. Our board-certified doctors are trained to use conservative, precise dosing so you maintain natural facial expressions. The goal is to look refreshed, not “done.”
How much do wrinkle relaxers cost?
Pricing depends on:
-
The product used (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, etc.)
-
The number of units required
-
Treatment areas addressed
We provide customized quotes during your consultation so you understand cost before proceeding.
What’s the difference between Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Lytebo?
-
Botox Cosmetic: The original wrinkle relaxer, FDA-approved for multiple facial areas.
-
Dysport: Spreads a bit more than Botox, often preferred for larger areas like the forehead.
-
Daxxify: Longer-lasting results—up to 6+ months for many patients.
-
Xeomin: Pure formulation without complexing proteins, which may reduce the risk of resistance.
-
Jeuveau: Often called “Newtox,” a newer alternative similar to Botox.
-
Lytebo: The latest FDA-approved option with excellent safety data and natural results.
Your provider will recommend the best choice based on your anatomy, goals, and treatment history.
Are wrinkle relaxers safe?
Yes. All neuromodulators we use are FDA-approved and have long safety track records. Side effects are typically mild and temporary. Serious side effects are rare when injections are performed by experienced, board-certified physicians.
How do I know how many units I need?
During your consultation, we evaluate your muscle movement, facial anatomy, and aesthetic goals. Some patients require higher or lower doses depending on muscle strength and desired results. We provide a customized treatment plan so you know exactly what to expect.
Can I get wrinkle relaxers while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Wrinkle relaxers are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding because safety has not been established for these groups. We advise waiting until after delivery and nursing before scheduling treatments.
Will my wrinkles come back worse if I stop treatments?
No. If you discontinue treatments, your muscles will gradually regain movement, and wrinkles will slowly return to their pre-treatment state, but not worse. Many patients find their wrinkles appear softer even after stopping because they’ve broken the habit of certain facial expressions.
How young is too young to start wrinkle relaxers?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Some patients begin preventative treatments in their late 20s or early 30s when they first notice fine lines during facial expressions. Others wait until lines become more prominent.
