Wrinkle Relaxers

Relax, Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neuromodulators that effectively combat fine lines, wrinkles, and deep facial furrows, targeting areas like crow’s feet, forehead, and frown lines.

And did you know? Besides treating fine lines and wrinkles, Botox Cosmetic and Dysport each have various off-label applications. These include addressing neckbands, chin dimples, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), jawline slimming, and more. Your expert provider can help you decide which is suitable for you and how many units you’ll need.

Generally speaking, these medications work by interrupting nerve signals, which relaxes muscle activity and contraction. Depending on the area we’re treating, this can reduce the creasing or wrinkles caused by repetitive movement, alleviate the pain and duration of migraines or reduce sweat production.

• Forehead: Botox and Dysport temporarily diminish the look of forehead lines and wrinkles and prevent new ones. 
• Frown lines: Botox and Dysport temporarily diminish the look of frown lines, a.k.a. the vertical lines between your eyebrows, or 11s. Injecting this area creates a softer, smoother look.
• Crow’s Feet: Botox and Dysport temporarily improve the look of crow’s feet—those fine lines that appear on the outer corners of your eyes. Injecting this area creates a smoother look.
• Brow Lift: Botox and Dysport temporarily improve the look of your eye area by lifting the eyebrows. Injecting this area creates a more wide-awake look.
• Lips: Botox and Dysport temporarily smooth the appearance of fine lines around your mouth. We also offer a “Lip Flip,” which creates a fuller, plumper lip look of your eye area by lifting the eyebrows.
• Chin: Botox and Dysport temporarily improve the look of a dimpled chin, a.k.a. an “orange peel” chin. Injecting this area creates a more relaxed look.
• Neckbands: Botox and Dysport temporarily improve the look of vertical necklines—sometimes called “Turkey Neck.” Injecting this area creates a smoother neck. Note: While some immediate results may be noticeable, the full effects of the injections may take a few weeks to become fully apparent.
• Hands, Feet, Under Arms: Botox and Dysport temporarily reduce excessive sweating, a.k.a. hyperhidrosis.
• Face: Botox and Dysport temporarily slim the face and reduce TMJ (Masseter) symptoms. This is an effective treatment if you clench your jaw, grind your teeth, or simply want a more heart-shaped face. 

The injection of Botox or Dysport into the face, scalp, or neck may also assist in alleviating migraine-related muscle tension and pain. Your treatment takes 15 minutes, and your results can last around four months.

As mentioned above, these procedures are quick, typically lasting only 15-25 minutes per area, ensuring minimal disruption to your day so you can get back to doing what you love. And with initial results within two days and full results in 30 days, you’ll feel more empowered and confident before you know it.

Not sure which tox to try? We can help you decide! Botox is manufactured by Allergan and was the first FDA-approved neuromodulator to come on the market 34 years ago. Dysport is manufactured by Galderma and has over 25 years of use within a clinic setting. Both offer great results.

Botox has FDA approval for more purposes and can treat excessive underarm sweating, migraines, urinary incontinence, and certain nerve-related conditions.
