Wrinkle relaxers are injectable neuromodulators that temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity. When certain facial muscles repeatedly contract from smiling, squinting, frowning, or raising your eyebrows, lines can gradually become more noticeable.

By carefully treating specific muscles, wrinkle relaxers can soften these expression lines while maintaining natural facial movement and expression.

At Body Co., we currently offer Xeomin® and Daxxify® and will help determine which option best fits your goals, anatomy, treatment history, and preferences.

Wrinkle relaxers can be used in several areas of the face and may also have uses beyond traditional wrinkle treatment.

Common treatment areas include:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines around the nose
• Lip lines and lip flip
• Chin dimpling
• Downturned corners of the mouth
• Gummy smile
• Jawline and platysmal bands
• Masseter muscles for appropriate candidates

Your treatment plan is customized based on your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and desired result rather than using the same injection pattern for every patient.

You may be familiar with Botox®, but Botox is one of several brands of injectable neuromodulators used to temporarily improve expression lines.

At Body Co., we offer Xeomin and Daxxify.

Xeomin®

Xeomin is an FDA-approved neuromodulator used to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines and is commonly used by aesthetic providers in additional areas based on individual patient needs.

It contains incobotulinumtoxinA and is formulated without accessory proteins.

Daxxify®

Daxxify is another FDA-approved neuromodulator for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines. Its formulation uses a proprietary peptide technology and may offer longer-lasting results for some patients.

There isn't one wrinkle relaxer that is right for everyone. We'll discuss the differences and help determine which treatment makes the most sense for you.

Every treatment begins with an assessment of your facial movement, anatomy, previous treatments, and aesthetic goals.

Your provider will determine appropriate treatment areas and dosing based on your individual needs.

Treatment itself typically takes only a few minutes. Most patients return to their normal daily activities shortly afterward with little to no downtime.

Results develop gradually rather than immediately. You'll begin noticing changes over the days following treatment, with the full effect developing afterward depending on the product used and your individual response.

Many patients may be able to receive treatment during their appointment after an appropriate medical and aesthetic evaluation. In some circumstances, your provider may recommend a separate consultation or different treatment plan.

The duration of results varies based on the product used, treatment area, dose, metabolism, muscle strength, and individual response.

Many neuromodulator treatments last approximately three to four months, although some products and patients may experience a longer duration.

We'll help you establish a treatment schedule based on how your individual results develop and how often you prefer to maintain them.
