Botox is a quick, simple service that takes less than 30 minutes with no down time. Using needles no larger than acupuncture needles, injections of Botox are used to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles in the face and neck, leaving your skin looking smoother and younger. 

Botox can soften the appearance of crow’s feet, brow furrows, forehead and perioral lines, improve the jawline and tighten the appearance of the neck. Botox can also be used to treat Hyperhidrosis, which is a condition that results in excessive perspiration. Whether its excessive facial sweating, palms, soles, or underarms this treatment can dramatically reduce moisture for up to a year.

What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers are injectable treatments that target dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement. These products work by temporarily blocking the signals from nerves to muscles, preventing them from contracting. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance. Popular wrinkle relaxers like Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin all use similar active ingredients—botulinum toxin—but can slightly differ 

All wrinkle relaxers can be used in the 3 main upper face areas: frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. There are many specialized treatment areas as well including jawline, masseters, chin, lip, neck and underarms/palms for excessive sweating.

How Long Do Wrinkle Relaxers Last?

All of our wrinkle relaxer treatments—whether Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, or Xeomin—provide results that typically last 3 to 4 months. Duration is dose depending-a higher dose can last longer. The duration of your results may also vary depending on factors such as your age, lifestyle, and the area treated. As your muscles gradually regain movement, you may notice the return of wrinkles, at which point a maintenance treatment can help regain your smooth, youthful appearance.

Is any single type of wrinkle relaxer really better than another?

No single wrinkle relaxer is universally "better" than another; it all depends on the individual’s needs, preferences, and how their body responds to the treatment. Here’s a breakdown of factors that could make one product more suitable than another:

Onset of Results

  • • Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau usually take around 3–7 days to show visible effect.
    • Dysport tends to show results faster, often within 2–3 days, making it ideal for those looking for quicker results.
    • All types have their peak effects at 2 weeks.

Duration of Results
All four products (Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin) typically last 3 to 4 months, though some individuals may find that one lasts slightly longer or shorter depending on their metabolism and the area treated.

Personal Response and Sensitivity

  • • Some individuals may respond better to one wrinkle relaxer than another. For instance, Xeomin has no additives, so it may be a better choice for those who have developed a resistance to Botox or other botulinum toxin products.
  • • Dysport may be a better choice for patients who want broader treatment areas since it diffuses more widely.

Similarities and Differences

Botox

Botox is the most well-known and widely used wrinkle relaxer. It has a proven track record for treating dynamic wrinkles and has been trusted by millions of patients worldwide. 

  • • Duration: Results last 3 to 4 months.
  • • Onset: Visible effects begin within 3 to 7 days.
  • • Maximum Effects: 2 weeks from the time of injection.
  • • Benefits: Botox smooths fine lines, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and prevents new ones from forming.
  • • Cost: $15/unit (20% off for our Perfect Vault members)

Dysport

Dysport is a wrinkle relaxer similar to Botox but with a slightly different formulation. It is designed to spread more easily across larger treatment areas, making it ideal for certain patients and wrinkle anatomy.

  • • Duration: Results last 3 to 4 months.
  • • Onset: Dysport tends to show results quicker, often within 2 to 3 days. 
  • • Maximum Effect: 2 weeks from the time of injection.
  • • Benefits: Provides fast, natural-looking results with less risk of a "frozen" appearance in some cases. 
  • • Dysport is dosed differently than Botox because it has a different potency. A higher number of units are required when compared to botox to achieve the same effect. Typically, 1 unit of Dysport is about 3 times as potent as 1 unit of Botox. It is priced accordingly.
  • • Cost: $5/unit (20% for our Perfect Vault members)

Jeuveau

Jeuveau is a newer injectable wrinkle relaxer that targets the same facial wrinkles as Botox. It is sometimes referred to as "Newtox" and offers similar results.

  • • Duration: Results typically last 3 to 4 months.
  • • Onset: Similar to Botox, results appear within 3 to 7 days.
  • • Maximum Effect: 2 weeks from the time of injection.
  • • Benefits: No unique benefits, but may be preferred by some individuals. 
  • • Cost: $15/unit (20% off for our Perfect Vault members)

Xeomin

Xeomin is a unique wrinkle relaxer because it does not have the complexing proteins or additives that the other types of botulinum toxin have. The absence of these proteins in Xeomin makes it more "purified," which is why it is often recommended for patients who may develop a resistance or sensitivity to Botox or Dysport. 

  • • Duration: Results last 3 to 4 months.
  • • Onset: Results appear in about 3 to 5 days.
  • • Maximum Effect: 2 weeks from the time of injection.
  • • Benefits: Ideal for patients with sensitivities or tolerance to other products.
  • • Cost: $15/unit (20% off for our Perfect Vault members)

Wrinkle relaxer use in specialized areas: 

Masseter Botox

Masseter Botox is a popular treatment for those looking to either slim their face and optimize facial balancing or alleviate tension from teeth grinding or jaw clenching (or both!). By relaxing the masseter muscles with botox, the size of the muscle actually decreases which allows for a slimming effect and often-times a more feminine heart shaped appearance.

How much is masseter Botox? Cost can vary depending on the strength and size of the masseter muscle and desired outcome. On average,15-40 units can be used per side which is $450-$1200 per session.

How long does masseter Botox last? Results typically last between 6-9 months and follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the effect. This timeline correlates directly with dose (a higher dose may last longer).

Does masseter Botox hurt? The procedure involves minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch, and is generally well-tolerated by clients.

Does insurance cover masseter Botox? Insurance typically does not cover Botox for cosmetic purposes. However, if used for medical reasons like bruxism, some coverage might be available. PRFCT does not accept insurance.

Neck Botox

Neck Botox, often referred to as the "Nefertiti Lift," can help reduce the appearance of neck bands and sagging skin, providing a more defined, and more youthful profile.

Can Botox help “turkey neck”? Yes, Botox can effectively reduce the appearance of a "turkey neck" by relaxing the platysma muscles and tightening the skin of the neck. The platysma is a muscle extending from the clavicle, up along the neck, and over the jawline. When it's downward pulling action is limited with treatment of botox, a lifting effect is achieved.

How much does neck Botox cost? The cost for neck Botox can vary depending on the extent of banding, and visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. Typically this treatment can range $400-$1000 per session.

How long does neck Botox last? The results of neck Botox can last from 3 to 4 months, with many clients opting for regular treatments to maintain the youthful improvements. 

Jawline Botox 

Enhancing your jawline with Botox can create a more defined and sculpted look. This treatment is ideal for those seeking a non-surgical option to improve their facial profile and jawline. 

How long does jawline Botox last? The effects of jawline Botox typically last between 3 to 4 months.

Can Botox tighten your jawline? Yes, Botox can help tighten and define the jawline by relaxing the muscles that are pulling downward on the jowl area, namely the DAO (depressor anguli oris) and the platysma muscle. 

How much does treatment cost? The range is $400-$1000 depending on dose, severity of signs of aging and desired outcome.
