When it comes to diminishing fine lines and dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, wrinkle relaxers yield dramatic, natural looking results for a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.

Coastal Aesthetics takes pride in offering a range of effective wrinkle relaxers, including Botox, Dysport and Xeomin. These neurotoxin-based injectables are designed to address and minimize the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles.

How Do Wrinkle Relaxers Work?

Wrinkle relaxers are neuromodulators that weaken and temporarily relax muscle activity in the face and neck. Neuromodulators are considered safe and have been part of the aesthetic and beauty scene since receiving FDA approval in 2002. Wrinkle relaxers like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are popular because they are quick, virtually pain-free and the results are immediate.

Most patients choose injectables to treat frown lines, crow’s-feet, and forehead lines. However, they are also used to address non-cosmetic issues like migraines, excessive underarm sweating, muscle stiffness, and eyelid spasms.

What is Botox?

Botox, short for botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is widely used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected, preventing them from contracting. As a result, it helps to smooth out wrinkles and lines caused by repetitive facial expressions like frowning or squinting.

Botox injections reduce muscle contractions by blocking the signals from nerves to muscles. When the injected muscles aren’t able to contract as tightly, the skin relaxes and softens, improving the wrinkle. Botox can also prevent new wrinkles from forming and is used as a preventative treatment in younger populations but it can also help existing wrinkles from deepening and worsening.

What is Dysport?

Dysport is a form of botulinum toxin type A. Similar to Botox and Xeomin, Dysport is used for cosmetic purposes to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. It is injected into specific facial muscles to reduce muscle activity and, consequently, diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

The mechanism of action of Dysport is comparable to Botox—it temporarily blocks nerve signals in the muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles. Some individuals may experience a quicker onset of action with Dysport compared to Botox, with results becoming noticeable within a few days after treatment.

What is Xeomin?

Xeomin is a prescription medication that contains incobotulinumtoxinA, a type of botulinum toxin. Like Botox and Dysport, Xeomin is used for cosmetic purposes to treat moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. It is an injectable treatment that works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles, resulting in a smoother appearance of the skin.

One notable feature of Xeomin is that it is a “naked” or “pure” form of botulinum toxin, meaning it lacks complexing proteins present in some other formulations. This characteristic may reduce the likelihood of antibody formation, potentially affecting how the body responds to the treatment over time.

Am I a good candidate for Wrinkle Relaxers?

The best candidates for Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are in good overall health and have moderate to severe facial wrinkles or folds in areas that injectables can treat, like around or between the eyes, the forehead, the neck and mouth.

What are the benefits of Botox, Dysport and Xeomin?

All three wrinkle relaxers can be used to restore a youthful appearance to the face or neck and treat issues like fine lines, wrinkles and folds by minimizing muscle activity and delaying the signs of aging.

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin treatments are quick, require little downtime, and provide noticeable results quickly. For optimal results, repeat injections are needed every four to six months.

How Much Do Wrinkle Relaxers Cost?

The price for each patient is based on the treatment area and the amount of product needed to achieve their optimal results. However, the average price per area is:

  • Forehead: $100-$280
  • Glabella (the area between the brows known as the ‘11s’): $220-$450
  • Crow’s feet: $220-$390
  • Vertical lip line/Lip flip: $120-$150
  • Mentalis (chin): $120-$150
  • Hyperhidrosis (underarm sweating): $500-$700
  • Platysmal bands (neck wrinkles): $120-$350

Many patients find optimal results from a combination of treatments to help keep their look natural and their skin healthy. The talented medical staff at Coastal Aesthetics can create a custom treatment plan based on your desired results and needs.

The appeal of cosmetic injections like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin is that it provides quick results with virtually no recovery period.

Some patients may experience minor bruising or swelling at the injection site which is temporary. We are happy to answer any questions about your injections during your appointment, so you feel prepared and comfortable.

How many treatments should I get?

The number of treatments needed and the frequency of those treatments depend on your body chemistry, medical history, and desired results.

Like most injectable treatments, wrinkle relaxers are part of an ongoing beauty regimen, which means it isn’t a permanent solution and will require follow-up visits which is typically every 3-4 months.
