What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
A wrinkle relaxer is a nonsurgical injectable treatment employed to treat lines and creases that appear as a result of frequent muscle contractions. It could help diminish signs of aging, such as forehead furrows, Crow's feet near the eyes, and "11" lines between the eyebrows. Wrinkle relaxers are made from a purified strain of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily limits facial muscle contractions. In time, the appearance of wrinkles is decreased while the skin can recover and refresh itself on its own. At Capstone Vision & Aesthetics, we provide several varieties of wrinkle relaxers based on your unique needs, including:
BOTOX®: This formula temporarily minimizes the development of moderate to severe forehead creases, Crow's feet, and frown lines. BOTOX is made from a clean type A strain of botulinum toxin. It works to temporarily relax the muscles that create those movements, allowing the overlying skin to recover over time.
Jeuveau®: This wrinkle relaxer fights early signs of aging. Using a purified form of botulinum toxin, Jeuveau relaxes strained facial muscles to smooth wrinkles, like the frown lines that develop between your eyebrows (also known as glabellar lines), allowing clients to get a more radiant, youthful appearance without surgery.
Dysport®: This product uses a filtered form of type A botulinum toxin to temporarily relax particular muscles in your face. Although the frequent movements that result in dynamic wrinkles will cease and the overlying skin will tighten, you will still be able to smile, frown, and make many different facial expressions without causing dynamic wrinkles. You will also see a rejuvenated look that won't look "overdone."
Our team is extensively skilled in achieving radiant outcomes through wrinkle relaxer injections at our Auburn Hills, MI practice.
What Is A Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment Like?
During your detailed examination at our Auburn Hills, MI facility, our team will determine which wrinkle relaxer treatment is ideal for you and your beauty goals. We offer wrinkle relaxers as an in-office treatment that can be performed on the same day as your consultation. You might be asked to create several facial expressions using the top part of your face. This allows us to place the treatment in the correct area. To begin, we wash your skin, mark the treatment areas, and use a fine needle to administer the injections. To limit aches and swelling, we use a cold compress right after the treatment. Based upon the selected formula and amount of injections, your procedure should last close to 10 – 15 minutes, and then you will be able to go back to your normal day.
What Are the Advantages of Wrinkle Relaxers?
Furrows and creases on your forehead and between your eyes may make you appear older than you truly are. Wrinkle relaxers are used to help diminish the appearance of these concerns by temporarily preventing the ability to make facial expressions. A wrinkle relaxer appointment at Capstone Vision & Aesthetics provides further benefits for Auburn Hills, MI individuals, including:
- Simple, surgery-free treatment
- No recovery time involved following the procedure
- Outcomes look natural and can remain for up to 3 – 4 months
- Provides a newly refreshed appearance
- Temporarily prevents potential creases
- Reduces forehead wrinkles, Crow's feet, and frown lines between the eyes
Capstone Vision & Aesthetics Reviews
Dr. Emmert-Buck and staff are amazing. Needed cataract surgery and they walked me thru every step of the way. I also had Lasik performed to correct my nearsightedness. No more glasses or contacts!!! Fantastic Surgeon! Thank you Capstone.
Went in for LASIK consult and we settled on PRK as the path forward. Honestly the best money I think I've ever spent, both in terms of the procedure and who handled the operation. Dr. Emmert-Buck and her staff are all so wonderfully attentive and personable. There was even a self-caused issue after the procedure and Dr. Emmert-Buck was quick with being able to meet me the day it happened and help me resolve the issue. If I ever need touch ups later on in life, I know where I'm going!
Came in for LASIK consult and did PRK with Dr. Leslie Emmert-Buck. She is very nice and reliable person. Happy with what I did and highly recommended.
My visit to get a biannual check up was great. The exams started on time and procedures were explained along the way. Dr. Emmert-Buck explained results of the various exams. The entire team offered a great experience.
Hi I saw Dr Leslie for my Keracornus. She, and her staff we're very nice, patient, and explained in detail about my disease and what options were available. She referred me to kellog eye Institute if I decided to do surgery. She even called at 6pm to let me know that where I stood on the referral. Her receptionist Tanya was so nice. Her assistant was very nice. I thank her for being honest and being very patient. Diane A

Are Wrinkle Relaxers Right for Me?
Wrinkle relaxer treatments work well for individuals who desire to soften the appearance of folds and creases high up on the face without needing surgery. Sometimes, wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX, are used for younger patients (including those in their 20s) who want to prevent age signs in general. Our team at Capstone Vision & Aesthetics will highlight the specifics of every selection and work with you to understand the option that works best for you. If you are dealing with deep-set lines, a dermal filler can be added to enhance your treatment.
Wrinkle Relaxers FAQ
How many wrinkle relaxer units will I need?
The quantity of wrinkle relaxer injections needed will vary depending on individual needs and the depth of your facial wrinkles and lines. We will talk with you about the appropriate number of injections, focusing on your targeted cosmetic goals and whether you seek to address Crow's feet, the forehead, or between the eyes. To maintain your renewed skin, our team might suggest returning for injections every 3 – 4 months at Capstone Vision & Aesthetics.
Are wrinkle relaxer injections painful?
As with most injection-based treatments, patients will notice a minor stinging feeling as the treatment is delivered. It is important to note that any discomfort lasts a few seconds, and many people report that this minor discomfort is quite bearable. Our staff will help you stay relaxed throughout your appointment. We can provide an anesthetic agent to make the procedure more pleasant if you like.
What's the difference between dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers?
Both wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers help revitalize your face, but they both work differently. Wrinkle relaxers temporarily paralyze the facial muscles to help smooth shallow lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, boost plumpness to sunken parts of the face and fill in deep lines. Our providers can discuss the benefits of dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers at your appointment at our Auburn Hills, MI facility.
