She determines where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles. The amount of product required and location of the injections vary from person to person. No anesthesia is required.
Most patients see changes in their appearance within one week of treatment and changes may continue to take effect for up to one month. Changes typically last about four months.

Wrinkle relaxers aren't suitable for everyone, and your provider will always review your health history before recommending treatment. Active infection in the treatment area and known hypersensitivity to the formulation are both contraindications, as are certain neuromuscular conditions — including ALS, myasthenia gravis, and Lambert-Eaton syndrome — which can increase the risk of adverse effects.
If any of these apply to you, or if you have any other health considerations you're unsure about, your consultation is the right time to bring them up.
Yes. When used to slim or relax the jaw muscles, wrinkle relaxers also relieve tension caused by clenching and grinding by relaxing the masseter muscle. Ask our aesthetic injectors about your specific goals during your consultation.

At ASBS, every treatment plan is tailored to your face and your preferences, and your provider will always talk through what to expect before a single unit is placed.
Generally speaking, wrinkle relaxers are one of the more accessible aesthetic treatments available. Pricing is based on the areas treated and the amount of product used, so it varies from patient to patient. We're happy to give you a transparent breakdown at your consultation — no vague estimates, no surprises.
Wrinkle relaxers have a well-established safety profile, and side effects are typically mild and temporary. Localised redness, minor swelling, or bruising at the injection site are the most commonly reported, and generally resolve within a few days. Temporary eyelid drooping and mild nausea occur in some patients but are uncommon. Your provider will make sure you know what to expect before leaving your appointment.
If you discontinue treatment, frown lines will gradually return to look the way they were before treatment.
