For many, wrinkle relaxers are the gateway into aesthetic care – and for good reason. They’re efficient, adaptable, and when done thoughtfully, enhance your features in a way that looks effortless – as if you just got the best rest of your life. At Nuey, our philosophy is simple: create subtle, balanced enhancements that complement your natural features and evolve gracefully over time.
Whether you’re hoping to prevent early signs of aging or ease lines that have deepened over time, here’s what to know before booking your first wrinkle relaxer treatment.
What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Letybo®, are neuromodulators that can temporarily reduce muscle activity in specific areas of the face. By softening repetitive movements caused by smiling, frowning, or squinting, they help smooth the appearance of expression lines. The most common areas we treat are the forehead, the “11” lines between the brows, and the fine lines around the eyes, but we can also target the nose, lips, jawline, neck, trapezius muscles, and even underarms to reduce excessive sweating.
The Nuey Experience
Your wrinkle relaxer journey at Nuey begins with a complimentary consultation, where we’ll assess your skin and muscle movement, discuss your lifestyle and goals, and create a plan designed just for you. If it’s the right time to begin, treatments can often be performed the same day.
The session itself takes about 15 to 30 minutes, and involves a series of small injections. Most clients find the process tolerable, describing the feeling as a quick pinch at each site.
Results typically begin to appear within a few days, with the full effect visible at the two-week mark. On average, wrinkle relaxers can last three to four months, though longevity depends on a variety of factors, such as your metabolism and natural muscle movement. Your provider can guide you on the right treatment cadence tailored to your unique anatomy, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
What Wrinkle Relaxers Can (and Can’t) Do
Wrinkle relaxers work best to soften lines caused by movement, restoring a smoother look without altering your natural expressions. However, they won’t add volume, improve skin tone, or address deep-set wrinkles that remain at rest. If those are your concerns, your provider may recommend exploring other treatments like dermal fillers, Sculptra®, light & energy therapy, or microneedling for a more targeted approach to your skin care goals.
Safety, Side Effects, and Recovery
When performed by a licensed and experienced provider, wrinkle relaxers are generally safe and well-tolerated. Temporary redness or swelling at the injection site is common and usually resolve within the hour. While serious side effects are rare, your provider will walk you through any risks and comprehensive aftercare instructions, so you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.
There’s little to no downtime, which makes wrinkle relaxers easy to fit into even the busiest schedule. Many clients return to work or social plans immediately after their appointment.
