Wrinkle Reduction Treatments With Cosmetic Injectables
Are fine lines and wrinkles getting you down? Let Avitas Med Spa help smooth those wrinkles and reduce the appearance of aging skin with wrinkle relaxers.
Wrinkle relaxers, also called neuromodulators, work by hindering muscle movement in the facial muscles, which prevents the everyday movements that cause skin to wrinkle over time.
Facial Areas We Treat With Wrinkle Relaxers
We can treat several different areas of the face with these cosmetic injectables, including:
-
Crow’s feet (fine lines around the eyes)
-
Deep glabellar lines (frown lines around the mouth)
-
Forehead lines (horizontal lines across the forehead)
-
Frown lines (lines between the eyebrows)
What to Expect for Your Anti-Aging Treatment
These wrinkle reduction treatments are given as an injection and take just a few minutes at our office. Patients can expect appointments to take between five and 20 minutes, depending on the areas they want treated. The best part is that there’s no downtime—you can return to your normal activities immediately after your appointment.
Most patients find that wrinkle relaxer injections cause little to no discomfort, even if they are hesitant about needles. At Avitas Med Spa, our professional and compassionate team makes every effort to ensure you are comfortable and relaxed during your treatment.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment
-
Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours before your scheduled treatment, as alcohol can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising.
-
Do not take anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications for two weeks before your treatment if possible.
-
Avoid medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, omega-3 or fish oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, and Aleve two weeks before your appointment if possible, as these can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.
-
Discontinue Retin-A two days before and two days after your treatment.
-
Schedule your appointment at least two weeks prior to a special event you may be attending, such as a wedding or vacation. Results from the injections can take up to a week to appear. Bruising and swelling may also happen in the week after treatment.
-
If you have a rash, cold sore, or blemish on the area to be treated, we ask that you reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance.
-
If you have a history of cold sores, please let us know, as your provider may want to put you on an anti-viral medication before treatment.
-
Eat a good breakfast on the day of your procedure, as this will decrease the chances of lightheadedness during your treatment.
-
How long do the results last?The results from wrinkle relaxers last three to four months on average. As the relaxer wears off, muscle movement will gradually return. You may consider a regular treatment schedule of two to three treatments per year to maintain your results. To enhance the results of your treatment, we also recommend considering fillers and regular facials at Avitas Med Spa. These will help rejuvenate your skin and provide a comprehensive anti-aging treatment.
-
Are there any side effects?Side effects from wrinkle relaxers are usually minor and temporary. They may include pain at the injection site, flu-like symptoms, bruising, headaches, and, in rare cases, eyelid ptosis (eyelid drooping).
-
When should I start with wrinkle relaxers?Some people with early signs of aging might consider starting treatments in their 30s. People who have fair skin, sun damage, or high-stress lifestyles typically consider starting anti-aging treatments like cosmetic injectables at this age.
-
Who does not qualify for cosmetic injectables?Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of Myasthenia Gravis (an autoimmune disorder), or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) should not get wrinkle relaxers.
