Cosmetic Wrinkle Relaxers
What Are Cosmetic Neurotoxins?
Cosmetic neurotoxins are prescription injectable medications that temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity. They are often called wrinkle relaxers because they can soften expression lines created by repeated facial movement.
These treatments are different from dermal fillers. Neurotoxins affect selected muscle activity, while fillers add or restore volume beneath the skin.
At Oceans, treatment begins with an evaluation of your facial movement, muscle strength, symmetry, medical history, previous injections and aesthetic goals.
Facial Treatment Areas
Areas Commonly Treated With Botox® and Dysport®
Treatment recommendations depend on your anatomy, facial movement, medical history and the approved use of the selected product.
Forehead Lines
Soften horizontal lines that appear when raising the eyebrows while maintaining an individualized level of natural expression.
Frown Lines
Reduce the appearance of vertical glabellar lines between the eyebrows that can create a tired, tense or concerned expression.
Crow’s Feet
Temporarily soften expression lines that form around the outer corners of the eyes during smiling and squinting.
Brow Position
Carefully selected injections may help create a subtle change in the appearance of brow position for appropriate patients.
Bunny Lines
Address small expression lines that appear along the upper sides of the nose during smiling or facial movement.
Lip Flip
A small amount of neurotoxin may be used around the upper lip to subtly change how the lip rests or appears during smiling.
Downturned Mouth Corners
Selected lower-face muscles may be evaluated when downward pull contributes to the appearance of the corners of the mouth.
Chin Dimpling
Reduce the appearance of an overactive or dimpled chin caused by repeated contraction of the mentalis muscle.
Jawline and Masseter
The masseter muscles may be evaluated for selected cosmetic or functional concerns when clinically appropriate.
Personalized Facial Aesthetics
Smoother Lines Without an Overdone Appearance
A successful treatment plan is not simply about using more units. It considers how your muscles work together, your resting brow position, facial symmetry and how much movement you want to preserve.
Some patients want very subtle softening. Others prefer a more noticeable reduction in movement. Your Oceans provider will discuss realistic expectations before treatment.
Injectable Product Options
Botox®, Dysport® and Other Cosmetic Neurotoxins
Several prescription botulinum toxin products are approved in the United States for cosmetic indications. Each product has its own formulation, dosing system and prescribing information.
Botox® Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic contains onabotulinumtoxinA and is commonly used for the temporary improvement of selected facial expression lines.
Units are specific to Botox and are not interchangeable with other products.
Dysport®
Dysport contains abobotulinumtoxinA and may be recommended based on the treatment area, muscle pattern and provider assessment.
Dysport has its own product-specific dosing system.
Additional Options
Other FDA-approved cosmetic neurotoxins include products such as Xeomin®, Jeuveau®, Daxxify® and Letybo®. Product availability at Oceans may vary.
Your provider will recommend an appropriate available option.

Your Appointment
What to Expect During a Neurotoxin Treatment
Every appointment starts with a medical and facial assessment. Consultation does not guarantee that treatment will be recommended.
Consultation
Discuss your concerns, desired result, medical history, medications, allergies and previous injectable treatments.
Movement Assessment
Your provider evaluates your face at rest and during expressions to understand your muscle strength and movement patterns.
Precise Injections
Small amounts of the selected prescription product are injected into carefully planned treatment points.
Aftercare
You receive instructions about skincare, exercise, treatment-area pressure, expected reactions and warning signs.
Results and Maintenance
When Neurotoxin Results Appear
Cosmetic neurotoxins do not produce their full effect immediately. Response and duration vary by patient, product, dose and treatment area.
Gradual Onset
You may begin noticing changes during the days after treatment, with the appearance continuing to develop as the product takes effect.
Temporary Results
Results gradually wear off as muscle activity returns. Maintenance timing depends on your response and treatment goals.
Follow-Up Evaluation
Your provider may recommend waiting until the treatment has fully developed before assessing whether follow-up is appropriate.
Expression Line Prevention
Can Botox® Help Prevent Lines From Becoming Deeper?
Repeated facial movement contributes to the development of dynamic expression lines. Temporarily reducing selected muscle activity may help keep those lines from appearing as strongly during the treatment period. It does not stop natural aging or permanently prevent wrinkles.
Choosing the Right Injectable
Neurotoxins vs. Dermal Fillers
Neurotoxins and dermal fillers are both injectable treatments, but they work in different ways and address different concerns.
Injectable Treatment Safety
Cosmetic Neurotoxins Are Prescription Medications
Botox, Dysport and related products require appropriate medical assessment, authentic medication, careful dosing and administration by a qualified healthcare professional.
Tell Your Provider Before Treatment
Provide your complete medical and injectable-treatment history, including:
- All medications, supplements and muscle relaxants
- Blood thinners or bleeding conditions
- Prior botulinum toxin products and treatment dates
- Neuromuscular or nerve-related conditions
- Swallowing, speech or breathing problems
- Facial surgery, weakness or asymmetry
- Active skin infections near the planned injection area
- Pregnancy, possible pregnancy or breastfeeding
