Fine lines and wrinkles appear differently for every individual. Some wrinkles, known as dynamic wrinkles, form from repeated facial expressions, while others develop as the skin naturally changes with age and the environment. Neuromodulators soften dynamic lines and can be a good option when you want to address visible signs of movement.
At Lazaderm in Chandler, AZ, we offer several wrinkle relaxers, including Botox® and Dysport®. Each product targets the muscles that cause expression lines, allowing the skin to appear smoother. Treatment plans can be adjusted based on which areas of the face show the most movement, such as the forehead, crow’s feet, or frown lines.
What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers are injectable treatments that target the muscles responsible for facial movement. By reducing activity in these muscles, the skin above them smooths out and lines become less noticeable. Wrinkle relaxers give us the flexibility to address expression-related lines that are difficult to treat with skincare.
How Do Neuromodulators Work?
Neuromodulators interrupt the signals between nerves and muscles, which reduces the contractions that lead to visible creases in the skin. When the muscles relax, the skin has a chance to appear smoother and more refreshed. With the right dose and injection location, we can treat wrinkles without changing your facial expressions.
What These Treatments Address
Forehead Lines: The lines that run horizontally across the forehead develop from repeated eyebrow lifting. They can be softened with neuromodulator treatment, which targets the underlying muscles and reduces their constant movement.
Frown Lines Between the Brows (11s): Vertical lines between the brows, often called 11s, form when the brow muscles contract during concentration or stress. Treating this area can prevent the lines from becoming more pronounced and can give the brow region a smoother appearance.
Crow’s Feet Around the Eyes: The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate, making it prone to fine lines that appear with smiling and squinting. Relaxing the small muscles here allows the skin to look less creased while still keeping natural expression.
Bunny Lines on the Nose: Wrinkles that appear along the sides of the nose when scrunching it are often overlooked but can be noticeable in certain expressions. Targeting the small muscles in this area can smooth the lines without affecting nearby features.
Neck Bands: Vertical lines on the neck are caused by the platysma muscle becoming more prominent with age and movement. Using anti-aging injections in this area can soften the appearance of these bands and create a smoother neckline.
Our Wrinkle Relaxer Options
Botox
Botox has been widely studied and used for decades and is one of the most trusted types of neuromodulators available. It works well for areas where facial movement is strong, such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines. The effects usually begin to show within a few days, and results typically last three to four months. Because it has been in use for so long, dosing and placement are well understood, so we can approach each treatment with a high level of precision. Botox can be a good option if you are looking for something predictable with a long track record in facial aesthetics.
Dysport
Dysport works in a similar way to Botox but has some differences in how it spreads once injected. The formula tends to diffuse more easily, which can be an advantage when treating larger areas like the forehead. Some patients notice results appear a little sooner with Dysport, sometimes within just a couple of days. Its unique spread can create a smooth and natural appearance across wider treatment zones. Dysport can be considered when broader coverage is needed, or when a faster onset of results is preferred.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning exfoliates the skin and removes small, thin hairs from your face. It primes the skin for absorption of skin care products. After a treatment, you will have soft, glowing skin. There’s also no downtime with Dermaplaning.
We highly recommend pairing Dermaplaning with a HydraFacial treatment for optimal skin results.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a Wrinkle Relaxer Appointment Usually Take?
Most appointments are relatively short, often completed within 15 to 30 minutes. The actual injections take only a few minutes, and there is typically no need for downtime afterward, so you can return to your regular activities the same day. Your consultation can usually be completed the same day as your injections.
When Will I Notice the Full Results?
You may start seeing changes within a few days, but the maximum effect usually develops after about two weeks. Scheduling treatments ahead of an event gives the product time to settle and provide the desired outcome.
How Often Should Wrinkle Relaxer Treatments Be Repeated?
The effects gradually wear off as muscle activity returns, so repeat treatments are usually scheduled every three to four months. Keeping a consistent schedule helps maintain smoother skin without gaps in results.
Can Wrinkle Relaxers Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Neuromodulators are often used alongside dermal fillers or laser treatments for a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Combining treatments allows different concerns, such as volume loss or skin texture, to be addressed at the same time. We will let you know if combining treatments is suitable in your situation.
Are There Any Restrictions After Treatment?
After injections, avoid strenuous exercise, lying down flat, or massaging the treated areas for several hours. These simple steps help the product stay in the intended muscles and provide more reliable results.
Who Should Avoid Wrinkle Relaxers?
People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular conditions are generally advised against having this treatment. A consultation is the best way to review your medical history and determine if wrinkle relaxers are a safe option for you.
