Soften Lines and Restore a Youthful Appearance

As we age, repeated facial expressions—like frowning, squinting, and raising the eyebrows—etch lines into our skin. These dynamic wrinkles can make us look tired, stressed, or older than we feel. If you want to take action against the signs of aging, but aren’t quite ready for an invasive procedure, Wrinkle Relaxers may be the ideal solution.

Sometimes dubbed “the Liquid Facelift,” the strategic use of these anti-aging injections can create a younger, more rested look by addressing lines and wrinkles. At Skinsational, we specialize in the art of natural-looking rejuvenation. If done right, the effects are noticeable, yet subtle, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance without losing your ability to express yourself.

What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?

Wrinkle Relaxers are cosmetic injectables that use purified proteins (often known by brand names like BOTOX®, Dysport®, or Jeuveau®) to temporarily reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—those caused by muscle movement.

Wrinkle Relaxer injections work by blocking chemical signals from the nerves that cause the muscles to contract.By targeting specific, small facial muscles, the injection temporarily prevents the muscle from fully contracting. It is, therefore, an effective way to temporarily relax muscles in the forehead and the eyes.

The most common treatment areas include:

  • Glabellar Lines (“11s”): The vertical lines between the eyebrows
  • Forehead Lines: The horizontal lines across the forehead
  • Crow’s Feet: The lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes
  • Other Uses: Treating a gummy smile, lifting the corners of the mouth, smoothing neck bands, and treating excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

Choosing Wrinkle Relaxers with Dr. Luciano offers numerous benefits for both aesthetic improvement and preventative care:

Wrinkle Relaxers FAQs

When will I see results and how long do they last?

The smoothing effect is not immediate. You will typically start to notice the muscle relaxation within 3 to 5 days, with full results appearing at 10 to 14 days. The effects generally last between 3 and 4 months, after which the muscle activity gradually returns.

Is the injection process painful?

The injections are administered using very fine needles and are often described as feeling like a tiny pinch or mosquito bite. The procedure is so fast that most patients tolerate it very easily without needing topical numbing.

What is the difference between Wrinkle Relaxers and Dermal Fillers?

Wrinkle Relaxers (Neurotoxins) treat dynamic wrinkles (lines caused by muscle movement) by relaxing the muscle. Dermal Fillers treat static wrinkles (lines present at rest) and volume loss by adding volume directly under the skin. They are often used together for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Is there any downtime?

There is generally no downtime. You may have tiny red bumps at the injection sites immediately afterward, which typically disappear within 15–30 minutes. Bruising is possible but uncommon. We advise avoiding exercise and lying flat for a few hours post-treatment.

Can I get a frozen face?

When injected by an expert like Dr. Luciano, the goal is always to achieve a soft, rested, and natural appearance. An experienced injector administers the correct, customized dose to simply soften the lines while allowing for normal expression.
