Overview of Wrinkle Relaxers

Expression lines are a natural part of life—but they don’t have to define your look. At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer wrinkle relaxer treatments to help you smooth fine lines, soften deep wrinkles, and maintain a refreshed, youthful appearance—all without surgery or downtime.


💉 What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers, also known as neuromodulators, are injectable treatments that work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—those lines caused by repeated expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting.

These treatments include trusted brands like:

  • – Botox®

  • – Xeomin®

  • – Dysport®

 

Each works slightly differently, but they all share the same goal: to reduce muscle activity in targeted areas, helping to smooth out fine lines and prevent new ones from forming.

How Wrinkle Relaxers Work

When injected into specific facial muscles, wrinkle relaxers block nerve signals that cause the muscles to contract. This allows the overlying skin to rest, smooth, and recover, leading to a noticeable reduction in the appearance of:

  • – Forehead lines

  • – Frown lines (11s between the brows)

  • – Crow’s feet (around the eyes)

  • – Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)

  • – Lip lines and chin dimpling

  • – Neck bands (platysmal lines)

 

The effects are temporary, lasting anywhere from 3 to 4 months, and treatments are quick—often completed in 15 to 30 minutes.


🌿 Subtle, Natural Results—Never Frozen

At Rio Glow, our approach to wrinkle relaxers is all about precision and balance. Our expert injectors understand facial anatomy and tailor every treatment to preserve your natural expressions—so you’ll look refreshed, never frozen.

Whether you’re treating existing lines or using wrinkle relaxers as a preventative measure, we’re here to help you feel confident and in control of how you age.

Benefits of Wrinkle Relaxer Injections

Wrinkle relaxers are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments for a reason—they deliver fast, effective, and natural-looking results with little to no downtime. Whether you’re smoothing out fine lines or preventing new ones from forming, this treatment offers a wide range of anti-aging and confidence-boosting benefits.

At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we specialize in subtle, refined results that help you look as youthful and vibrant as you feel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Whether it’s your first time getting wrinkle relaxers or you’ve had them before, we know you may have questions. At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we’re here to provide clear answers and expert guidance so you feel confident every step of the way.


What’s the difference between Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport?

All three are FDA-approved neuromodulators that relax facial muscles to reduce wrinkles. The key differences are:

  • – Botox: The most widely known and commonly used brand

  • – Dysport: Spreads more easily, great for larger areas like the forehead

  • – Xeomin: “Naked” formula with fewer additives—ideal for those concerned about tolerance or buildup over time

 

We’ll help you choose the best option based on your goals and anatomy.

How long does it take to see results?

You may begin seeing improvement in 3–5 days, with full results visible around 10–14 days after treatment.


How long do wrinkle relaxers last?

Results typically last 3 to 4 months. With consistent treatments, you may notice results lasting longer over time.


Will I look frozen or expressionless?

No! Our approach at Rio Glow is all about natural movement with softer lines. You’ll still be able to smile, frown, and express yourself—just with a smoother, more refreshed appearance.


Does it hurt?

Most clients describe the injections as a small pinch or pressure. We use ultra-fine needles and can apply a numbing agent upon request to maximize comfort.


What areas can be treated with wrinkle relaxers?

  • – Forehead lines

  • – Frown lines (between brows)

  • – Crow’s feet

  • – Bunny lines (nose scrunch lines)

  • – Lip lines (smoker’s lines)

  • – Chin dimpling

  • – Jawline and neck (for slimming or softening bands)

  • – Brow lift effect

 

How often should I get wrinkle relaxers?

Most clients return every 3–4 months to maintain smooth, consistent results. We’ll work with you to develop a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.


Can I combine wrinkle relaxers with other treatments?

Absolutely. Wrinkle relaxers pair beautifully with dermal fillers, Sculptra, microneedling, and skin resurfacing treatments for full-face rejuvenation.


Is this treatment safe for first-timers?

Yes! Wrinkle relaxers have an excellent safety record and are commonly used for both first-time and experienced clients. We’ll walk you through everything during your consultation and start with a conservative dose if you’re new.

Step-by-Step Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment Process

At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we make wrinkle relaxer treatments simple, safe, and stress-free. Whether you’re smoothing lines for the first time or coming in for maintenance, our expert providers focus on delivering natural results with precision and care.

Here’s what to expect during your wrinkle relaxer appointment:


1. Personalized Consultation & Facial Mapping

We start by getting to know you and your goals. Your provider will analyze your facial structure, expression lines, and muscle movement to identify exactly where injections will be most effective. This ensures a treatment that looks refreshed—not overdone.


2. Cleansing & Prep

Your skin will be gently cleansed and disinfected to prep for treatment. If you’re sensitive, we can apply a topical numbing agent to maximize comfort—though most clients tolerate the injections very well.


3. Precision Injections

Using a fine-tipped needle, your provider will administer small, targeted doses of the chosen wrinkle relaxer (Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport) into the specific facial muscles causing your dynamic lines. The process is quick—typically 10–20 minutes, depending on how many areas are being treated.


4. Gentle Aftercare & Instructions

Once your injections are complete, we’ll go over everything you need to know to protect your results. There’s no downtime, but you’ll want to follow a few simple rules (see Section 7).


🕒 Treatment Overview at a Glance:

  • – Treatment Time: 15–30 minutes

  • – Discomfort Level: Minimal (quick pinching sensation)

  • – Downtime: None—most return to normal activities the same day

  • – Onset of Results: 3–5 days

  • – Full Results: Around 10–14 days

  • – Longevity: 3 to 4 months

 

Wrinkle relaxers are one of the most convenient and effective anti-aging treatments available, and we pride ourselves on creating results that blend beautifully with your natural features.

Post-Treatment Care & At-Home Tips

Wrinkle relaxers require minimal downtime, but following the right aftercare is key to maximizing your results and minimizing any side effects. At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we provide every client with simple, clear instructions to ensure a smooth experience post-treatment.

Here’s what to do—and what to avoid—after your appointment:

Top Aftercare Tips:

  • – Stay upright for 4 hours after your treatment
    Avoid lying down or bending over excessively—this helps prevent product migration.

  • – Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas
    Touching the injection sites can interfere with the precision of the treatment.

  • – Skip workouts for 24 hours
    Exercise increases circulation and could cause the product to spread to unintended areas.

  • – Hold off on facials, saunas, or tanning for 48 hours
    Heat and pressure can affect how the neuromodulator settles.

  • – Keep your skin clean and makeup-free for at least 4–6 hours after injections
    If possible, wait until the next day to apply cosmetics.

 

💉 What’s Normal After Treatment?

  • – Mild redness, swelling, or small bumps at injection sites (resolves within a few hours)

  • – Occasional light bruising (can be covered with makeup after 24 hours)

  • – A tight or heavy feeling in the treated area—this is temporary

  • – Results begin showing in 3–5 days, with full smoothing by 10–14 days

 

🧴 Optional At-Home Add-Ons:

  • – Arnica cream or tablets to reduce bruising

  • – Cold compress (lightly applied) for swelling

  • – Hydrating skincare and SPF to protect and nourish your skin

 

📆 When to Return:

Most clients schedule maintenance visits every 3–4 months. If you’re new to wrinkle relaxers, we’ll check in to see how your body responds and adjust your plan as needed for the most natural, balanced result.
