Which Treatment May Be Right for You?
Not every wrinkle is treated the same way. Some lines respond best to wrinkle relaxers. Others may need volume support, collagen support, skin tightening, skin resurfacing, or a home care plan.
Wrinkle Relaxers for Movement Lines
These treatments are commonly used for:
Forehead lines
Frown lines
Crow's feet
The goal is not to look frozen. The goal is to soften expression lines while keeping your appearance natural-looking and balanced. Wrinkle relaxers such as Xeomin, Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau use a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A. It prevents the release of the chemical messenger that signals muscles to contract. As the muscle rests, the overlying skin flattens, reducing lines. Smoothing effects can appear within 3 to 5 days, with full results around 2 weeks. Your provider will recommend treatment areas and dosing based on your facial movement, anatomy, and goals.
Dermal Fillers for Volume Support
Dermal fillers may be recommended when lines are related to volume loss, facial structure, or deeper folds. Fillers can help restore support, soften certain lines, and improve facial balance. Upon injection, the gel instantly plumps the skin and lifts sunken or wrinkled areas. Full settling and contouring occur within 1 to 2 weeks. Over 3 to 4 months, the dermal filler stimulates collagen production for longer-lasting, firmer results. Results often last a year or more.
Dermal fillers may be discussed for:
Smile lines
Cheeks
Lips
Chin
Jawline
Facial balancing
Your provider will recommend the treatment area and product based on your anatomy, goals, and desired level of change.
