Wrinkle Relaxers: Smooth, Youthful Skin Awaits
Wrinkle relaxers, also known as neuromodulators, effectively minimize the appearance of
fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking smoother and more refreshed. Our
licensed experts use trusted and FDA approved products like Dysport, Jeuveau, and
Botox to treat areas such as frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet around the eyes,
gummy smiles, and more. The result is a naturally youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
What are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Dysport, Jeuveau, and Botox are wrinkle relaxers that work by relaxing facial muscles
through the inhibition of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This process temporarily
freezes the targeted muscles, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Wrinkle relaxers are
especially effective for dynamic wrinkles, which form from repeated facial expressions,
and can also soften the appearance of static wrinkles that are visible even without muscle
movement.
What Treatment Areas can Wrinkle Relaxers Treat?
- Forehead
- Glabella (11’s or frown lines)
- Crow’s feet
- Eyebrow lift
- Bunny lines (lines on the nose)
- Gummy smile (relaxes your smile to show less gums)
- Marionette lines
- Lip Lines
- Chin dimples
- Masseters (relaxes muscles and gives the appearance of a thinner face)
- Platysma Bands (tightens the neck)
- Armpits (excessive sweating)
- Can also be used in combination with microneedling.
Ever heard of Botox for Migraines?
Botox for migraines is a medical treatment that involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific areas of the head and neck. This FDA-approved procedure is designed to prevent the onset of chronic migraines by relaxing the muscles and blocking the release of certain chemicals that transmit pain. Typically, patients receive multiple injections in various points around the forehead, temples, and back of the neck. Botox for migraines has been shown to significantly reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks, providing relief for those who suffer from chronic migraine pain. This treatment is administered by healthcare professionals and is usually recommended for individuals who experience migraines for 15 or more days a month.
