Wrinkle Relaxers TOX

Depends on your muscle strength, not just your age. Typical ranges: forehead 10–20, the 11s 15–25, crow’s feet 12–24 (both sides). A full upper face is usually 40–60 units. Men usually need 20–40% more because the muscles are stronger. Use the calculator above for a personalized estimate — it takes 20 seconds and gives you a real dollar figure before you book.

Honest answer: for most first-timers it barely matters, and we start with Botox or Dysport. Pick Dysport if you want it to kick in a couple days sooner or you’re treating a wide forehead. Pick Xeomin if you’ve been getting tox for years and feel like it stopped working — it has no carrier proteins, so there’s nothing to build resistance to. Pick Daxxify if you genuinely hate coming in and want 5–6 months instead of 3–4. Your injector will tell you straight which one fits your face and your budget.

Not unless you ask for it. Frozen is a dosing choice, not a side effect. Tell your injector "I want to still move" at your consult and they will dose conservatively — we can always add more at your two-week check, but we can’t take it out. First-timers almost always get dosed light on purpose.

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin: 3–4 months. Daxxify: 5–6 months. It wears off faster if you have a fast metabolism, work out hard, or you’re treating a very strong muscle. It tends to last longer the more consistently you go — the muscle gets weaker over time and needs less.

It’s a 2 out of 10. The needle is thinner than the one used to draw blood, and each injection is under a second. No numbing needed. Between the 11s can sting for a moment.

Most people don’t. To stack the odds: skip alcohol, fish oil, ibuprofen and aspirin for 24 hours beforehand. If you do bruise it’s usually a pinpoint dot that concealer covers, gone in 3–4 days.

No — and it’s actually the best time. Preventative tox stops the crease before it etches into the skin permanently. Once a line is visible at rest it takes a lot more work to reverse than it would have taken to prevent. Most of our 20s clients do 20–30 units twice a year and that’s it.

For 4 hours: don’t lie flat, don’t rub the area, no hot yoga or hard workouts. That’s it. You can wear makeup, drive yourself, and go straight back to work.

It’s temporary — that’s the safety net. Everything fully wears off in 3–4 months. In the meantime, if something looks uneven, come back at two weeks and we fix it free.

A licensed medical injector under medical direction — never an unlicensed tech. You meet them before anything happens and they’re the one who maps your face.
