Cosmetic injectables, including Botox® and Dysport®, are FDA-approved treatments that effectively reduce the appearance of dynamic facial wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements. At Arabella Boutique Med Spa in Oak Brook Terrace, IL, we offer precise and personalized wrinkle relaxer injections to help soften expression lines and rejuvenate your look without surgery or downtime.
These botulinum toxin treatments work beneath the skin’s surface to temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for causing frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Whether you’re looking for preventive aging treatments or solutions to correct existing wrinkles, these injectable treatments are among the best options available today.
The Advantages of This Treatment Include:
- Smooths forehead lines
- Softens glabellar frown lines (11 lines)
- Minimizes crow's feet
- Prevents future wrinkle formation
- Refines chin dimpling
- Lifts drooping brows
- Quick treatment time with no downtime
- Natural-looking, refreshed appearance
These injectables are versatile and can be customized to treat various areas of the face while maintaining natural expressions. They are ideal for both wrinkle correction and prevention, making them a staple in any anti-aging treatment plan.
How Wrinkle Relaxer Treatments Work
Wrinkle relaxer treatments are performed in a quick 15–30 minute session. A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort. Small amounts of the injectable are strategically administered into facial muscles using a fine needle to block the nerve signals that cause repetitive movements.
The treatment is commonly used for:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Lip lines, chin dimpling, and jawline slimming
Most clients require treatments every 3–4 months to maintain a smooth, youthful appearance. Results are subtle and natural, never frozen.
