Wrinkle Relaxers in Salem, OR – Botox, Dysport & Daxxify

What are neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators are also called wrinkle relaxers, botulinum toxin injections or anti‑wrinkle injections. They temporarily block the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. By relaxing overactive muscles, neuromodulators soften expression lines and prevent them from deepening. Botox® has been the gold standard for more than twenty years and remains popular for smoothing moderate to severe wrinkles. Dysport® contains smaller, more spreadable molecules that make it ideal for large areas like the forehead and for clients seeking faster onset. Daxxify® is the newest option; thanks to its stabilizing peptide it can deliver results that last six to nine months.

We use these injectable treatments not only for aesthetic concerns but also for therapeutic benefits. Botox and its cousins can help relieve migraines, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, tension headaches, trapezius hypertrophy (“trap tox”) and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

Common treatment areas

Our expert injector works with you to select the right neuromodulator and dosage for your needs. Wrinkle relaxer injections can be used to treat:

• Upper face: forehead lines, frown lines (the “11s” between the brows) and crow’s‑feet around the eyes.

• Lower face: lines at the corners of the mouth, dimpled or “orange‑peel” chin, jawline definition and turning down of the mouth.

• Gummy smile: relaxing the upper lip to reduce excessive gum show when smiling.

• Neck: platysmal bands and “tech neck” lines; “microtox” for crepey skin on the neck.

• Headache and jaw tension: injections into the masseter or trapezius muscles to relieve TMJ pain, tension headaches or neck pain.

• Hyperhidrosis: reduce excessive sweating in the underarms, hands, feet or scalp.

What to expect during your treatment

Your appointment begins with a consultation where we discuss your goals and evaluate your facial anatomy. Treatment itself takes about 15–30 minutes and involves a series of tiny injections in the target areas. Results start to appear within a few days, with Dysport® generally kicking in faster (2–3 days) than Botox® (4–7 days). Daxxify® may take up to two weeks for its full effect but can remain visible for six to nine months. Touch‑ups are typically performed every 3–4 months for Botox and Dysport, or twice a year for Daxxify.

Pricing

Wrinkle relaxer treatments are priced at $14 per unit. The number of units required depends on the treatment area and desired result, and your injector will provide an estimate during your consultation.

Pre‑treatment care

To minimize bruising and ensure the best results, follow these guidelines:

• Avoid blood thinners such as alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, ginseng and ginkgo for 24–48 hours before your appointment.

• Stay hydrated and eat a balanced meal beforehand.

• Schedule your treatment at least two weeks prior to a major event; first‑time clients should plan 4–6 weeks ahead.

Post‑treatment care

• Do not schedule laser treatments or facials for at least two weeks after injections.

• Avoid vigorous facial massage or rubbing the treated area for the first 48 hours.

• Results take up to 21 days to fully settle. Book a follow‑up appointment if you need a touch‑up after this period.
