Wrinkle Relaxers
botox, dysport, jeuveau
Targeted injectable treatments that soften expression lines and restore a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
Wrinkle relaxers are one of the most precise tools in aesthetic medicine when used thoughtfully.
At vafaMD, Botox and Dysport are used to soften dynamic expression lines while preserving natural movement and facial character. Treatments are carefully placed based on anatomy, muscle activity, and long-term facial balance.
The goal is not a frozen appearance, but a rested and refined result that still looks like you.
Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles.
By reducing repetitive muscle movement, these treatments soften lines and help prevent deeper wrinkles from forming over time.
Treatments are quick and require minimal downtime, making them one of the most common add- on treatments at our practice.
Common treatment areas include:
•Frown lines (glabella)
• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet
• Brow lift
• Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
• Lip lines
Wrinkle relaxers may also be used for several functional and cosmetic muscle-related concerns beyond facial wrinkles.
When you’ll see results:
Results begin to appear within 7-10 days, with full results typically visible at the 14 day mark.
Effects gradually fade over several months as muscle activity slowly returns.
