What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
A wrinkle relaxer is a noninvasive injectable treatment utilized to treat lines and creases that show up as a result of regular muscle movement. It may help diminish signs of aging, such as forehead lines, Crow's feet near the eyes, and "11" lines between the brows. Wrinkle relaxers utilize a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily blocks movement in the facial muscles. Over time, the presence of wrinkles is lessened while the skin has a chance to recuperate and rejuvenate naturally. At NuMe Aesthetics, we offer multiple brands of wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and XEOMIN®, to help address your individual concerns. Our team is extensively skilled in producing natural-looking results with wrinkle relaxer injections at our Seattle, WA practice.
What Is A Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment Like?
During a thorough examination at our Seattle, WA practice, our team will go over which wrinkle relaxer selection is best for you and your cosmetic goals. We carry out wrinkle relaxer treatments as an in-office treatment that can be carried out during the same visit as your consultation. You might be asked to make various facial expressions using the top part of your face. This allows us to deliver the treatment at the appropriate site. First, we prepare the skin, mark the treatment sites, and use a fine needle to deliver your injections. To minimize tenderness and swelling, we apply a cold compress immediately following the treatment. Depending on the formula type and number of injections, your treatment could last close to 10 – 15 minutes, after which you may go back to your usual routine.
Types of Wrinkle Relaxers
- BOTOX Cosmetic: BOTOX temporarily diminishes the appearance of moderate to severe forehead creases, Crow's feet, and frown lines. It is a purified type A strain of botulinum toxin and functions to temporarily "freeze" the facial muscles that assist with those contractions, allowing the skin to rebound on its own. The BOTOX formula will be injected into the specified areas of your forehead or face using a fine needle. BOTOX takes around ten minutes to complete, and many clients experience only slight discomfort (like a pinprick or pinching feeling).
- Dysport: This injectable wrinkle treatment smooths dynamic lines and creases throughout the face, such as glabellar lines between the eyes. Much like BOTOX, Dysport uses a filtered form of type A botulinum toxin to temporarily relax or block signals to particular muscles in your face. As soon as these muscle groups are treated, the frequent movements that result in dynamic wrinkles will be stopped, and the overlying skin will be tightened. This allows you to smile, frown, and make many different facial expressions without causing dynamic wrinkles. It also creates rejuvenated outcomes that won't make you look "overdone."
- XEOMIN: Much like BOTOX, this injectable wrinkle relaxer treatment relaxes the facial muscles with a purified strain of botulinum toxin type A so your dynamic wrinkles appear smoother and softer. It can help if you want to improve the appearance of dynamic wrinkles on the face, including frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines on the forehead, Crow's feet in the outer corners of the eyes, and smile and laugh lines.
Who is a Candidate for Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxer injections work well for anyone who wants to soften the appearance of wrinkles without undergoing cosmetic surgery. Sometimes younger individuals in their 20s seek out BOTOX® to prevent signs of aging from even occurring. Our expert team at NuMe Aesthetics will review your unique facial features and help determine which products will work best for your case. If you have deep-set creases or folds, a dermal filler may be recommended to complement your injections. Ideal candidates are in generally good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for their results.
What Are the Advantages of Wrinkle Relaxers?
Furrows and creases on your brow and between your eyes can cause you to look older than you really are. Wrinkle relaxers are beneficial to help diminish the appearance of these issues by briefly limiting the capacity to make facial movements. A wrinkle relaxer treatment at NuMe Aesthetics provides additional advantages for Seattle, WA individuals, namely:
- Temporarily preventing future wrinkles
- Creating a newly rested appearance
- No recovery time is involved after your appointment
- Simple, nonsurgical option
- Outcomes look natural and can persist for as long as 3 – 4 months
- Addressing forehead wrinkles, Crow's feet, and frown lines around the eyes
NuMe Aesthetics Reviews
I wanted to take a moment to share my wonderful experience at NuMe. From the moment I stepped in, the staff were nothing short of professional and friendly, making me feel right at home. I had the pleasure of having Vicky as my esthetician. Let me tell you, she is incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented. Her expertise truly made a difference in my experience, and I couldn't be happier with the results. NuMe offers a fantastic variety of packages and services, catering to a wide range of needs. Whether you're looking for a simple treatment or something more comprehensive, they have you covered. I highly recommend NuMe for anyone seeking top-notch services and a welcoming atmosphere. You won't be disappointed!
I would highly recommend Vicky and Kevin!
I have been struggling with some facial asymmetry following jaw surgery. Enter Shana! She listened, empathized and worked her magic. I feel more like myself again!! Thank you, Shana!
I love Nume Aesthetics! I see Dr. Fung and have got lower face/neck RF microneedling + full face/neck lasering done and love my results. I’m 34 and grew up playing water polo in Southern California so my sun damage is pretty bad. My face was looking tired and sun-spotted. The microneedling and lasering really made my skin look refreshed and rejuvenated! Dr. Fung is awesome through the whole process. I was experiencing some spiciness during one round of microneedling and he made sure to adapt the numbing agents to fit my needs. He’s also a little jokester! I’m going back soon for PRF. The office is in an unassuming business building but the people inside couldn’t be nicer. Extra shoutouts to Shelby at the front desk who didn’t hesitate to dish about her experiences with the treatments she’s had which really helped out with my nervousness, and also to Dr. Vicky who absolutely had my back and showed sooooo much kindness and patience when I got emotional (my grandmother had just passed) during a treatment! I went to a ton of consults when looking for a MedSpa and I’m really glad I trusted my gut and chose Nume.
I've been going to NuMe for Botox with Dr Fung and recently had my first Microneedle w/ PRF with Shelby. Everyone is incredibly kind, skilled, and knowledgeable and the results are always fantastic!

What Should I Expect After Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment?
After your wrinkle relaxer treatment, you can return to your daily schedule; still, you will need to avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours. For the first few days, you will need to abstain from handling your face, as this could accidentally circulate the formula to other areas. The treatment areas could become red, swollen, or tender, but your symptoms should disappear in a matter of days. Depending on the formula we used, your new appearance could take several days to be seen. Most patients enjoy results lasting as long as four months, but the actual length of your results will differ slightly based on the make-up and amount of relaxer used. Before you leave, our staff will provide comprehensive aftercare tips and discuss when to arrange further appointments.
Wrinkle Relaxer FAQ
How many wrinkle relaxer units/injections will be required?
The number of wrinkle relaxer doses needed can differ according to your concerns and the depth of your facial wrinkles and lines. Our cosmetic injectors can recommend the appropriate quantity of injections, focusing on your desired beauty outcomes and whether you want to treat Crow's feet, the brow, or between the eyes. To get the most out of your newly restored look, your provider might suggest getting treatments every 3 – 4 months apart at NuMe Aesthetics.
Are wrinkle relaxer treatments painful?
As with most injectable therapies, patients will experience a light pinprick sensation as the treatment is given. This feeling only lasts several seconds, so many patients say that this brief discomfort is quite bearable. Our team will help ensure you remain relaxed throughout your treatment. If needed, we can offer an anesthetic ointment to make your injections more pleasant.
What's the difference between dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers help create a youthful appearance but function differently. Wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX, temporarily paralyze the muscles in your face to help diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, add fullness to recessed parts of the face and fill out deep-set creases. Our team will be able to talk more about the benefits of dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers at an appointment at our Seattle, WA practice.
