BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers

BOTOX and other wrinkle relaxers are purified neuromodulators that work by temporarily relaxing the small facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repetitive expressions such as frowning or squinting. By interrupting nerve signals to these muscles, Botox smooths lines and restores a more youthful, rested appearance.

These are all FDA-approved wrinkle relaxers (neuromodulators), but each has a slightly different formulation, onset speed, diffusion pattern, and duration. For example, Daxxify may offer longer-lasting results, whereas Dysport and Jeuveau often take effect more quickly. Dr. Zamani will recommend the best option for your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle during your consultation.

Commonly treated areas include the forehead, glabella (frown lines), crow’s feet, lip lines, chin, masseter (jaw slimming), and neck bands. Advanced applications include trapezius slimming (“Trap Tox”), excessive sweating, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, and migraine relief.

Results typically begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full effect visible at around 10 to 14 days post-treatment. Products like Dysport and Jeuveau may act slightly faster, while Daxxify and Letybo may differ in onset based on individual response.

Most neuromodulators, including BOTOX, provide results that last 3 to 4 months. Some patients may achieve longer-lasting results with newer options, such as Daxxify. Maintenance treatments are typically scheduled quarterly to preserve a consistently smooth, natural look.

Most patients describe BOTOX injections as virtually painless. Dr. Zamani uses ultra-fine needles, numbing as needed, and her signature technique for a uniquely comfortable experience. Any post-treatment tenderness is minimal and typically resolves within a few hours.

The number of units varies by area and individual muscle strength. For example, treating forehead lines may require 10–20 units, while the crow’s feet or glabella may each require 12–24 units. Dr. Zamani will customize your dosage to achieve natural, balanced results.

Preventative BOTOX involves using wrinkle relaxers before deep lines have fully formed, typically in patients in their late 20s to early 30s. Relaxing the muscles that cause expression lines helps delay the development of visible wrinkles and maintain smooth, youthful skin. Traditional BOTOX, on the other hand, is used to reduce existing lines. Dr. Zamani customizes every treatment to suit your age, muscle activity, and long-term goals, creating a tailored, natural look—whether you’re preventing or correcting signs of aging.

There is no “perfect” age to begin, but many patients start wrinkle relaxers in their late 20s to early 30s as a proactive measure. The ideal time depends on your facial muscle activity, genetics, and personal preferences. Some patients benefit from early treatments to prevent the formation of static lines, while others begin later to soften already visible wrinkles. Dr. Zamani will assess your facial dynamics and help you decide if it’s the right time to start BOTOX, Daxxify, or another neuromodulator.

You can safely undergo BOTOX injections every 3-4 months to maintain fresh and elegant results around the clock.

With so many excellent options—BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Letybo—the best choice depends on your unique facial anatomy, lifestyle, treatment goals, and previous experience with neuromodulators. During your private consultation, Dr. Zamani will conduct a thorough facial analysis and explain the benefits of each product, helping you select the wrinkle relaxer that aligns with your aesthetic vision while ensuring safety, longevity, and a natural, elegant result.

Yes, many patients switch between neuromodulator brands based on personal experience, desired longevity, or ingredient sensitivities. Xeomin, for example, is free of complexing proteins and may appeal to those seeking a more “pure” formulation. Jeuveau has a reputation as the “newtox” with strong appeal among younger patients, while Letybo is the most recent entrant. Dr. Zamani will review your prior treatment history and aesthetic goals to guide your transition and ensure seamless, effective results.

Yes—when administered by a highly trained physician like Dr. Zamani, BOTOX and other wrinkle relaxers are extremely safe. These treatments have decades of clinical data supporting their safety profile, especially when used in appropriate doses and by experienced injectors.

Yes. Dr. Zamani offers a comprehensive range of transformative treatment options to help you achieve a youthful, attractive appearance and a positive self-image. Absolutely. BOTOX and other wrinkle relaxers are often paired with dermal fillers, microneedling, or laser treatments for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. They can also complement surgical procedures such as a facelift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery.

Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Rarely, patients may experience headaches, temporary eyelid drooping, or asymmetry. Dr. Zamani’s expert technique and in-depth surgical knowledge of anatomy greatly minimize these risks.
