Our Wrinkle Relaxing Treatment Options
Relax Expression Lines
Repeated muscle movement is one of the primary drivers of dynamic wrinkles. Neuromodulators address this by temporarily relaxing the targeted muscles responsible for those lines without immobilizing the face.
Your provider may recommend one or a combination of the following treatments:
- Botox Cosmetic
- Dysport
- Xeomin
- Jeuveau
How These Treatments Work:
Neuromodulators work by blocking the nerve signals that cause specific facial muscles to contract. When those muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths.
Best For:
- Forehead lines and horizontal creases
- Frown lines and the "11s" between the brows
- Crow's feet and fine lines
- Subtle, refreshed results
- Preventing deeper line formation over time
Results:
- Results visible within 3–7 days
- Lasts approximately 3–4 months
- Maintenance treatments recommended to sustain results
- Minimal to no downtime
Improve Skin Firmness and Soften Lines Caused by Laxity
Not all wrinkles are caused by muscle movement. Lines driven by skin thinning, laxity, and collagen decline require an approach that targets skin structure rather than muscle activity.
Your provider may recommend one or a combination of the following treatments:
- Sculptra Aesthetic
- Hyperdilute Radiesse
How These Treatments Work:
Both Sculptra Aesthetic and Hyperdilute Radiesse stimulate collagen production rather than adding immediate volume. Sculptra improves skin thickness and elasticity over time, making it effective for wrinkles caused by volume loss and skin thinning. Hyperdilute Radiesse strengthens the skin itself, improving firmness and texture to soften fine lines caused by laxity.
Best For:
- Fine lines related to skin thinning or laxity
- Gradual, natural-looking improvement
- Improved overall skin quality
- Alternatives to frequent filler or neuromodulator use
- Preventative candidates who want to support skin structure early
Results:
- Gradual improvement over 4–6 weeks and beyond
- Results continue to develop as collagen builds
- Single sessions or a series are recommended based on goals
- Minimal downtime following treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
Not when treatment is properly dosed and placed. Providers use precise techniques to relax overactive muscles while preserving the natural expressions that make your face distinctly yours.
All four are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work by relaxing targeted facial muscles. They differ slightly in formulation, onset timing, and diffusion patterns. Your provider will recommend the option best suited to your treatment areas and goals during your consultation.
Neuromodulator results typically last 3 to 4 months, though many patients find that consistent maintenance can extend longevity. Collagen-stimulating treatments like Sculptra and Hyperdilute Radiesse produce more gradual results that continue to develop over weeks to months.
Yes, and they often are. Neuromodulators address dynamic lines caused by muscle movement, while biostimulators like Sculptra and Hyperdilute Radiesse improve skin quality and firmness from within. Combining them allows providers to address multiple drivers of wrinkle formation in one coordinated plan.
Neuromodulator results typically become visible within three to seven days and continue to settle over two weeks. Collagen-stimulating treatments develop gradually, with noticeable improvement appearing over four to six weeks and continuing to build over several months.
Most patients experience little to no downtime. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur temporarily at injection sites. Providers offer specific aftercare guidance to minimize any temporary effects.
There is no single right answer. Many patients begin preventative neuromodulator treatment in their mid-to-late twenties to slow the formation of deeper lines. Others start later and focus on softening lines that have already formed. Your provider will recommend an approach based on your current skin quality, muscle activity, and long-term goals.
