Wrinkle Relaxers in Scottsdale, AZ
Wrinkle Relaxers
Wrinkle Relaxers, including popular brands like Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport®, are injectable treatments designed to reduce the appearance and severity of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as those found on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines). Botox® is the most widely recognized brand and includes protective proteins that help deliver the active ingredient to the target area. Xeomin®, on the other hand, is a “naked” neurotoxin, meaning it lacks these accessory proteins, which can be beneficial for individuals who have developed resistance to Botox®. Dysport® has a slightly different formulation that allows it to spread more easily over larger areas, making it ideal for treating broader regions like the forehead. By blocking nerve signals to these muscles, wrinkle relaxers help smooth the skin, resulting in a more refreshed and vibrant appearance. The treatment is quick, typically taking only 10 to 20 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it a convenient option for many individuals.
Wrinkle Relaxers in Scottsdale, AZ, are ideal for adults looking to soften the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements. Results usually begin to appear within a few days, with full effects visible within one to two weeks. These results generally last between three to four months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the desired look.

Treatment Areas
Forehead Lines
Wrinkle Relaxers smooth horizontal lines on the forehead by relaxing the muscles that contract when raising the eyebrows.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
These vertical lines between the eyebrows are softened by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for the frowning expression.
Crow's Feet
The fine lines around the eyes, known as crow’s feet, are treated by relaxing the muscles that cause the skin to crinkle when smiling or squinting.
Bunny Lines
Targeting the muscles involved in scrunching reduces the lines that appear on the sides of the nose when scrunching.
Lip Lines
Wrinkle Relaxers can soften the vertical lines that form around the lips, often caused by pursing or smoking.
Chin Dimpling
The appearance of a dimpled or “orange peel” texture on the chin is smoothed by relaxing the underlying muscle.
Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands)
The vertical bands on the neck, which become more prominent with age, are softened by relaxing the platysma muscle.
Brow Lift
By selectively relaxing muscles around the brows, Wrinkle Relaxers can provide a subtle lifting effect, reducing the appearance of sagging.
Gummy Smile
Wrinkle Relaxers relax the muscles that elevate the upper lip excessively, reducing the appearance of a gummy smile.
Jawline (Masseter Muscle)
For those with a strong jawline, Wrinkle Relaxers can be applied to the masseter muscle to slim the lower face, creating a softer jawline appearance.
Hyperhidrosis
Reduce excessive sweating with Botox, an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. By blocking the nerve signals that cause overactive sweat glands, Botox helps minimize sweating in areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, and face. The results last for several months, providing long-term relief and improved comfort.
