Wrinkle Relaxers in West Hollywood

Wrinkle relaxers, also called neuromodulators, are prescription injections that temporarily relax the specific muscles that crease the skin. They soften lines caused by movement, like forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet, and wear off gradually over 3 to 4 months.

Yes, that's the goal. A skilled injector relaxes only the muscles you want softened, so you keep your natural range of expression. Done conservatively, the result reads well-rested, not worked on.

Most people describe a quick pinch. The needle is very fine and the whole treatment takes about 15 minutes. Ice can be used beforehand if you're sensitive.

Lines usually start to soften within 3 to 7 days, and the result keeps settling for up to two weeks. We follow up to make sure you love how it looks.

Results generally last around 3 to 4 months and vary by person, dose and area. Movement comes back gradually, not all at once.

Most people repeat every 3 to 4 months, once movement returns. Treating more often than about every 12 weeks isn't recommended. Your provider will set the timing that suits your plan.

Typically none. You may have slight redness or small bumps at the injection sites that fade within an hour or two. Stay upright for about four hours and skip hard exercise, facials and massage on the area for the rest of the day.

Wrinkle relaxer pricing at Dr Refresh is personalized, because it depends on which areas you treat and how many units your provider recommends. You'll always see your plan total before anything begins, and treat-now, pay-later financing is available.

Not the deep lines from nose to mouth. Those come from volume and skin changes rather than muscle movement, so they usually respond better to dermal filler or collagen-building treatments like Morpheus8. Crow's feet, the lines at the outer eyes when you smile, do respond well to relaxers.

The most common are mild, temporary redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites, and sometimes a headache. Less often, a brow or eyelid can droop for a few weeks. Serious complications are rare, and choosing a licensed medical injector matters most.

Treatment isn't recommended during pregnancy or while nursing, or for people with certain nerve and muscle conditions or an infection at the injection site. Tell your provider about your medications and medical history at your consult.

Treatments are performed only by licensed medical providers and overseen by Dr. Fisher, MD, our Medical Director, at 1106 N La Cienega Blvd, Suite 206. The approach is conservative and artistry-first, every visit starts with a real consultation, and the consult is free.
