Wrinkle Relaxer

Botox pricing depends on the number of units needed, the treatment area, and your goals. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan and provide exact pricing before treatment.

Most patients describe Botox injections as a mild pinch that lasts only a second or two. The needles used are ultra-fine — much thinner than those used for blood draws. No anesthesia is needed, though topical numbing cream can be applied for sensitive patients.

Botox typically lasts 3 months for most patients. Dysport may have a slightly faster onset (2–3 days) but generally lasts a similar duration. Dr. Saad will help you determine the ideal treatment schedule for your goals.

Both Botox and Dysport are botulinum toxin type A products that temporarily relax muscles to smooth wrinkles. Key differences include: Dysport tends to have a faster onset (2–3 days vs. 3–5 days for Botox), and Dysport spreads slightly more — making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead. Dr. Saad selects the optimal product based on your anatomy and treatment goals.

Most healthy adults who want to soften dynamic wrinkles — lines that appear with facial movement — are excellent candidates for wrinkle relaxers. Ideal candidates include those with forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet, or those interested in preventive treatment in their late 20s to 30s. Wrinkle relaxers are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for patients with certain neuromuscular disorders. A consultation with Dr. Saad will determine if this treatment is right for you.

The number of units varies by treatment area and individual muscle strength. General ranges include: forehead lines (15–30 units), frown lines/11s (20–30 units), crow's feet (10–15 units per side). These are starting ranges — Dr. Saad assesses your specific facial anatomy during the consultation to determine the precise dosing that will achieve natural-looking results for you.

Yes. Botox and Dysport can be safely combined with many aesthetic treatments, depending on your goals and treatment plan.

A typical Botox or Dysport session at Healing Aesthetics takes just 10–15 minutes. After a brief consultation to review your goals and target areas, your injector performs the treatment quickly and precisely. There’s no downtime, and most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. It’s often called a “lunchtime procedure” because it fits easily into a busy schedule.

Absolutely. At Healing Aesthetics, your care doesn't end when you leave the office. We follow up with every patient after their wrinkle relaxer treatment to make sure you're happy with your results and to answer any questions. We also offer a complimentary 2-week touch-up appointment if any fine-tuning is needed. Your satisfaction and safety are our top priorities.

Common side effects are mild and temporary, including slight redness, or swelling at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few hours. Headache can occasionally occur after treatment. Rare but possible side effects include temporary eyelid drooping or asymmetry, which resolves as the product wears off. Serious side effects are extremely rare when treatment is performed by a qualified physician. Dr. Saad's precise technique and thorough knowledge of facial anatomy minimize the risk of adverse effects.
