Frequently Asked Questions

How many units will I need?

Dosing is highly individualized and depends on muscle strength, treatment area, desired outcome. Rather than standardizing units, we customize dosing to achieve balanced, natural results. Your provider will guide you through recommendations during your consultation.

When can I expect results?

Results gradually begin to appear within 2-7 days and continue to improve with your final results at 2 weeks - this is when we advise a refinement visit to follow up on your results and make adjustments as indicated. 

How long will it last?

Most patients enjoy results for approximately 3–4 months, though this can vary based on factors such as metabolism, muscle strength, treatment area, and dosing. With consistent, well-planned treatments, many patients find that results begin to last longer over time as muscle activity becomes more controlled.

Will I look frozen?

Not unless that is your preference. Our signature approach focuses on refined, natural-looking results, but dosing and placement can be adjusted depending on your goals. We’ll guide you toward what best complements your features while ensuring your results feel aligned with how you want to look.

When is the right time to start?

There is no universal age, many patients begin when they notice lines becoming more persistent. We usually recommend considering starting when you start to see fine etched lines at rest, even without expressing. If you are unsure whether you are a good candidate, we highly encourage a complimentary consultation. 

Which wrinkle relaxer is best?
Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Daxxify?

Each product has unique characteristics. While Botox is the most well-known neuromodulator, alternatives such as Dysport Jeuveau and Daxxify are newer and offer nuanced beneficial differences and may be recommended depending on your goals, muscle dynamics, and desired longevity. 

Do I need to know what areas I need to treat?

Not at all. Most patients come in with general concerns rather than specific treatment areas, and that’s exactly what the consultation is for. We assess your facial movement, anatomy, and goals to determine which areas would benefit most, then create a personalized plan designed to keep results balanced and natural. 

What makes a treatment look natural vs overdone?

Natural results come down to thoughtful dosing, precise placement, and an understanding of how the face moves as a whole, not just isolated lines. Injecting one muscle, always impacts other nearby muscle, they all interdigitate and your injectors should be well familiar with facial anatomy. Overdone results often occur when too much product is used or when treatment doesn’t account for overall facial balance. Our approach focuses on softening lines while preserving expression, so you look refreshed and well-rested, never over-treated.

Can my wrinkle relaxer treatment be customized?

Absolutely. It is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Every plan is tailored based on your unique anatomy, muscle movement, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. We adjust both dosing  placement and sometimes even the brand of the neuromodulator used in specific areas to create a treatment plan unique to you. 

How do I choose the right provider?

Choosing the right provider is one of the most important factors in achieving a beautiful, natural result. Look for someone with advanced training, a strong understanding of facial anatomy, and good reviews. A thoughtful, unhurried consultation process and a customized approach are equally important. And here is some real talk:  It can also be helpful to consider the provider’s own aesthetic, as it often reflects their treatment philosophy. Finally, experience matters. Providers who perform aesthetic treatments regularly and focus on this work as a core part of their practice tend to develop a higher level of precision, consistency, and refined technique over time.
