How Do Wrinkle Relaxers Work?
A lifetime of expressing emotions through facial movements—such as smiling, frowning, and squinting—can eventually lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles. These imperfections, known as dynamic wrinkles, develop as facial muscles repeatedly contract over time.
Wrinkle relaxers like Botox® Cosmetic and Daxxify work by injecting specially formulated neuromodulators into targeted facial muscles. These injections temporarily block the signals between nerves and muscles, allowing the treated muscles to relax. As the muscles relax, the skin above them smooths, softening the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Both Botox and Daxxify contain purified botulinum toxin and treatments typically take only a few minutes to perform. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
Benefits of wrinkle relaxers such as Botox and Daxxify include:
- No downtime
- No scalpels, sutures or stitches
- Quick and comfortable injections
- Multiple wrinkles can be treated during a single session
- Results typically last three to four months for Botox
- Results from Daxxify may last longer for some patients
- Results can be maintained with regular treatments
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Botox® Cosmetic is the most widely recognized wrinkle relaxer in the world and remains one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments available today. It received FDA approval in 2002 for reducing the appearance of glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows) and has since also been approved for treating forehead lines and crow’s feet.
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, helping patients achieve a smoother and more refreshed appearance. Treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and deliver predictable, natural-looking results when performed by experienced providers.
Most patients begin to notice improvements within a few days, with results typically lasting three to four months.
Daxxify
Daxxify is a newer FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer designed to treat moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Like Botox, Daxxify works by relaxing targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles.
One of the unique benefits of Daxxify is its long-lasting formulation, which may allow results to last up to six months or longer for some patients. This extended duration can make Daxxify an appealing option for patients who want fewer maintenance appointments while still enjoying smooth, natural-looking results.
Your provider at McLean Plastic Surgery can help determine whether Botox or Daxxify is the best option based on your aesthetic goals and treatment plan.
Will I Look Frozen?
Some patients worry about developing a “frozen” or overly stiff appearance after wrinkle-relaxing treatments. This concern is often based on misinformation or treatments performed by inexperienced injectors.
At McLean Plastic Surgery, our skilled providers focus on achieving natural-looking, balanced results that enhance your appearance without limiting facial expression. Our goal is to help you look refreshed, youthful, and confident—never overdone.
