Look like you, but with fewer lines. Erase the marks of aging with quick and easy wrinkle relaxers.
Wrinkle relaxers temporarily improve the look of both moderate to severe facial wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
How Wrinkle Relaxers Work
Wrinkle relaxers work beneath the surface to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet lines, and forehead lines in adults—to help them look visibly smoother.

Wrinkle Relaxer Procedure
During treatment, wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify, are injected into the muscles in your face to block the signals from your brain telling your muscles to contract which relaxes them. This also causes the muscle to weaken, meaning they will not be able to wrinkle as much in the future.
Use Wrinkle Relaxers to help treat the following:
Botox and other TOX offer medical benefits beyond aesthetic enhancements. They can effectively treat conditions like TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder), reduce the appearance of a gummy smile, manage hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), address signs of aging in the neck, and aid in trapezius slimming.
TMJ Disorder
BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® injectables help relax tense jaw muscles to alleviate pain caused by TMJ. Learn more
Gummy Smile
If your gums show a little too much when you smile, BOTOX® Cosmetic can help. The ‘pulling’ of the treated lip-elevating muscles on the upper lip is dramatically softened, reducing the prominence of gums when you smile.
Aging Neck
With no surgery or downtime, BOTOX® Cosmetic and other TOX can eliminate horizontal wrinkles and neck bands and reduce the appearance of fine lines and sagging skin.
Excessive Sweating
To combat excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, use BOTOX® Cosmetic and other TOX to block the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active.
Trapezius Slimming
For a more contoured shoulder line, BOTOX® Cosmetic or other TOX can relax the trapezius muscles, leading to a slimmer, more refined appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wrinkle Relaxers
Does it hurt?
Like most injectables, a slight stinging sensation is common during your treatment, but you should not experience discomfort after the treatment. Swelling and bruising at the injection site may occur. Swelling usually resolves within an hour and bruising can last days to weeks after the treatment.
When will I see results and how long will they last?
You may begin to notice results within 48 hours, with full results in 14-30 days—and they may last up to 9 months for moderate to severe frown lines.
