UNDERSTANDING
THE SCIENCE.
How do wrinkle relaxers work?
Wrinkle relaxers such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Daxxify® and Letybo® are neuromodulators that work by temporarily reducing the muscle activity responsible for expression lines. These medications are carefully injected into specific muscles, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother while maintaining natural movement. Results develop gradually as the targeted muscles relax, helping the skin appear softer and more refreshed.
Because treatment is highly precise and customized, wrinkle relaxers can support facial balance without creating a frozen or over-treated appearance.
WHAT TO EXPECT
DURING TREATMENT
Your wrinkle relaxer treatment begins with a personalized consultation at Cossmedic Wellness & Aesthetics. During this visit, your provider will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate facial movement, and review your medical history to ensure treatment is appropriate. This thoughtful approach allows us to design a treatment plan tailored to your facial anatomy and desired outcome, supporting results that look natural and balanced.
The treatment itself involves carefully placed injections using a very fine needle to deliver a small amount of neuromodulator into targeted facial muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as brief and very manageable. Because the injections are precise and efficient, treatment is typically completed in about 20–30 minutes.
Results develop gradually over several days as the treated muscles relax, with full results typically visible within 10–14 days.
AFTER TREATMENT
Following wrinkle relaxer treatment, most patients are able to return to normal daily activities with minimal interruption. You may notice small injection sites or mild redness immediately after treatment, which typically resolves quickly. Your provider will review simple aftercare recommendations, such as avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, or pressure on the treated areas for the remainder of the day.
Wrinkle relaxers work gradually as the targeted muscles begin to relax, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother and more refreshed. Early improvement may be visible within a few days. Results generally last about 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and muscle activity.
Many patients choose to maintain consistent results with periodic treatments, which may also help prevent deeper lines from developing over time. During follow-up visits, your provider can assess your results and adjust treatment as needed to support balanced, natural-looking outcomes.
SUPPORTING BEAUTY
AND FUNCTION.
What conditions can wrinkle relaxers treat?
Neuromodulators are widely recognized for their ability to soften and prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, helping patients maintain a refreshed and naturally balanced appearance. However, the benefits of this treatment extend beyond aesthetic improvement alone. Because neuromodulators work by gently relaxing targeted muscles, they can also provide meaningful support for certain functional concerns related to muscle tension and overactivity. At Cossmedic Wellness & Aesthetics, our approach reflects a deeper understanding of facial anatomy and muscle dynamics, allowing us to thoughtfully address both cosmetic goals and select conditions where therapeutic benefit may be possible.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Dynamic wrinkles form as a result of repeated facial expressions over time, as the underlying muscles contract and create lines in the skin. Common areas affected include frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and bunny lines that appear along the sides of the nose when smiling. Additional areas such as vertical lip lines and chin dimpling.
Lip Flip
A lip flip is a neuromodulator treatment designed to subtly enhance the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume. By carefully placing a small amount of product into specific muscles around the mouth, the upper lip gently relaxes and rolls slightly outward, allowing more of the natural lip surface to show. This can create the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip while maintaining a soft, natural look.
Bruxism
Bruxism (jaw clenching or teeth grinding) can lead to pain, headaches, and wearing of tooth surfaces. If you suffer from Bruxism (jaw clenching) and have tried other treatments, Botox® may be an excellent treatment choice. Botox™ is FDA-approved for treating Bruxism. Treatment is quick and requires no surgery or downtime. A single treatment session consists of small injections into the masseter muscle.
Migranes
Neuromodulators may be used to help reduce the frequency and intensity of chronic migraines in appropriate candidates. By relaxing specific muscles that contribute to tension, treatment can help decrease the muscle contractions that trigger headache patterns. Injections are typically placed in targeted areas such as the forehead, temples, scalp, neck, and shoulders, depending on individual symptoms.
Excess Sweating
Excess sweating or hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating that occurs even when the body does not need cooling. By temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, treatment can significantly reduce perspiration in targeted areas such as the underarms, palms, feet, or forehead. This approach can help improve daily comfort and reduce visible sweating.
Neck (Platysmal Bands)
Platysmal bands are vertical lines that can appear along the neck as the platysma muscle becomes more prominent with age and repeated movement. Carefully placing injections into these muscles can help soften their appearance and reduce visible tension. By relaxing the downward pull of the platysma, treatment can contribute to a smoother, more refined transition between the jawline and neck.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most wrinkle relaxer treatments last approximately 3–4 months. With consistent treatments, some patients find results may last longer over time.
Initial improvements are often visible within 3–5 days, with full results typically appearing within 10–14 days.
Most patients schedule treatments 3–4 times per year to maintain consistent results.
The primary differences between these products relate to how they are manufactured, how quickly results may appear, how the body metabolizes the product, and how long results may last for some individuals. For example, Dysport® may have a slightly faster onset in some patients, Xeomin® contains a purified formula without accessory proteins, and Daxxify® is formulated with a peptide stabilizer that may allow results to last longer in certain cases. Letybo® is a newer neuromodulator that functions similarly to other established products and may be selected based on individual treatment goals.
All neuromodulators are carefully selected by your provider based on your anatomy, treatment area, and desired outcome. During consultation, your provider will recommend the most appropriate option to support balanced, natural-looking results.
There is minimal downtime. Most patients return to most normal activities immediately following treatment. Talk to your provider about aftercare instructions.
