How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
We map your expression lines while you talk, frown and smile, then dose each muscle for softening rather than stillness. The visit takes about thirty minutes, the change settles over two weeks and most clients return every three to four months.
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Crow’s feet
Your visit, step by step
- Before
Arrive with a clean face and, if your clinician agrees, pause blood-thinning supplements for a week.
- During
Your clinician marks the treatment points, cleanses the skin and places a series of small injections; most clients describe a brief pinch.
- After
Stay upright for four hours, skip the gym until tomorrow and book your two-week review before you leave.
Know the names.
The makers, products and standards we reference when we talk about wrinkle relaxers.
BOTOX Cosmetic
The onabotulinumtoxinA most clients ask for by name. We use it for its approved cosmetic uses, after your clinician has watched how your face moves.
Official informationDysport
AbobotulinumtoxinA, approved for frown lines. Its units are not interchangeable with other brands, so your plan always names the product and the dose.

Good to know.
How long do wrinkle relaxers last?
Three to four months for most clients. We book your next visit before the previous dose wears off, so the softening stays even.
Will I look frozen?
No. We dose for movement with softer lines, and your two-week review is where we fine-tune.
Can I have treatment at my first visit?
Yes, when your clinician confirms suitability at the consultation and your schedule allows; we hold the room for both.
Questions worth bringing.
- How would a clinician assess my facial movement and goals before discussing wrinkle relaxers?
- Which prescribing requirements, contraindications and product-specific side effects should I understand?
- What maintenance expectations, alternatives and follow-up would apply to my proposed plan?
