Wrinkle
Relaxers
Smooth lines. Natural results. No downtime.
Wrinkle Relaxers
FDA-approved neuromodulators gently relax targeted muscles to soften expression lines like frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet, while keeping your natural expression. We offer a full range of trusted brands, including the newest, Daxxify.
What to expect
Results begin within a few days, with the full effect at 10–14 days. First-time clients may have a 2-week follow-up.
What it helps with
In three steps
The muscle is mapped
We watch your face move and mark only the muscles actually creating the lines you dislike. Expression you want to keep is left alone.
A small dose is placed
Tiny amounts are injected into those specific muscles with a very fine needle. We dose conservatively, because we would rather you come back for a touch-up than look frozen.
Movement softens
Over five to fourteen days the treated muscles relax. The lines they were creasing soften, and the skin over them gets a chance to recover.
Not just lines. Shape.
Most people come to us for frown lines and crow's feet. The same injections, placed differently and in much smaller doses, can change shape instead: lift a lip, slim a nose, soften a heavy jaw. Here is what each one actually does.
The lip flip
A few units along the upper lip relax the muscle that holds it down, so the lip rolls slightly outward and shows more of itself. No filler, no volume added — your lip is the same size, it simply sits differently. It takes about five minutes, and it lasts two to three months rather than three to four, because the upper lip is one of the busiest muscles in the face.
Nose slimming
A few units into the small muscles that flare the nostrils and pull the tip downward. The nose looks narrower and a little lifted, most noticeably when you talk and smile. It does not change bone or cartilage, so it softens how your nose behaves rather than how it is built.
A bump, or a crooked bridge
That is a filler job, not a relaxer one. Filler can smooth a bump and lift the tip — the non-surgical nose job. It also carries more risk than anything else we inject, so it is only ever done after a proper consultation, by a licensed medical professional, with the dissolving agent kept on site.
Which brand we use
We carry a full range, including Botox, Dysport, Daxxify and Jeuveau. They differ a little in how quickly they start working and how long they last, and we choose with you rather than for you. Shape work uses small numbers of units, so it is dosed conservatively and reviewed.
We will not treat your lip or your nose at a first appointment without looking at you properly first. If your anatomy makes a good result unlikely, we will tell you rather than take your money.
The honest detail
Our approach to wrinkle relaxers is deliberately conservative, and the reason is simple: we want you to look rested, not treated.
What the session actually feels like
Fifteen minutes, start to finish. The needle is very fine and each injection is a brief pinch, four to eight of them depending on the area. No numbing needed for most people. You can go straight back to work; small red marks fade within an hour.
Why we underdose on purpose
Too little is fixable in two weeks. Too much is not fixable for three months. So we treat conservatively, review you at the two-week mark, and add a little more if you want it. Most clients end up somewhere they would never have reached if we had used a standard dose on day one, and a significant number decide the lighter result is exactly right.
What results actually look like
Movement starts softening from day five and settles by day ten to fourteen. Lines that appear when you frown go first. Lines already etched into the skin at rest soften more gradually, over months, as the skin stops being creased. You will still be able to make expressions; that is the point.
How long it lasts, and why that varies
Three to four months for most people. It wears off faster if you exercise a great deal, have a fast metabolism, or are treating a strong muscle like the frown line at a light dose. Treating consistently rather than letting it wear off completely each time tends to extend the interval over a couple of years.
Prevention, and being honest about it
Starting in your late twenties or early thirties does genuinely slow lines from etching in. It is also a commitment that runs for decades. We will tell you what we see in your skin and let you decide, rather than selling prevention to someone who does not need it yet.

What happens afterwards
Careful, every time
This is a prescription medical treatment, not a beauty service, and we treat it that way. Our approach is deliberately conservative: natural movement kept, nothing overdone.

Good to know
Is it painful?
Most feel only a small pinch. Numbing cream is available for sensitive areas.
Is there downtime?
No. Minor redness usually fades within hours.
Will I look frozen?
No. We tailor every treatment for natural-looking results.
Who should not have it?
Pregnant or breastfeeding clients, people with certain neuromuscular conditions, or anyone allergic to botulinum toxin.
Which brand is right for me?
We recommend one at your consultation based on your goals and how long you want results to last.
Will a lip flip make my lips bigger?
No. It changes how your lip sits, not how much lip there is. If you want volume, that is filler. Some people have both; plenty find the flip alone is enough.
Will a lip flip affect how I talk or drink?
For a small number of people, mildly, for a week or two — straws and hard consonants are the usual complaints. Dosing conservatively is how we keep that unlikely.
Is nose slimming the same as a non-surgical nose job?
No. A relaxer changes how your nose behaves when you move. A non-surgical nose job uses filler to change its shape at rest. We do both, and which one suits you depends entirely on what is bothering you.
Can I have this done the same week as an event?
Plan for two weeks. The effect takes five to fourteen days to settle, and we would rather you saw the final result before the photographs.
What if I do not like it?
Unlike filler, there is nothing to dissolve — it wears off on its own. That is one of the reasons we start low and ask you back.
