What are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers are injectable treatments that contain the botulinum toxin, which temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles. This relaxation minimizes the muscle contractions that cause fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in areas like the forehead, around the eyes and between the brows. It's a minimally invasive, temporary approach to smooth and refresh your facial appearance.

Types of Wrinkle Relaxers We Offer
Botox Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic is highly regarded for its precise treatment of dynamic wrinkles, especially in the forehead and around the eyes. Formulated with a purified form of botulinum toxin A, it temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles, leading to a smoother skin appearance.
This treatment is particularly effective for addressing crow's feet, frown lines and forehead lines. Patients can typically expect to see results within 3 to 7 days after treatment, with the full effect visible in two weeks. The results of Botox injections are temporary, generally lasting 3 to 6 months depending on the area treated.
Botox Cosmetic is approved for multiple indications by Health Canada and has a long history of safe and effective use, making it a trusted choice in aesthetic medicine. In addition to its role as a wrinkle relaxer, Botox is commonly used in medical settings to treat bruxism (jaw clenching), migraine headaches and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
Dysport
Dysport is an excellent option for those who desire quicker results in wrinkle reduction. Its active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, is similar to Botox but has a slightly different formulation that allows it to diffuse more broadly. This characteristic makes Dysport particularly effective for treating larger areas, such as the forehead.
Patients often see initial improvements within 2 to 3 days post-treatment, with the full effect typically visible after a week. The duration of Dysport's effects is comparable to Botox, usually lasting around 3 to 4 months.
Dysport is also approved by Health Canada and is considered safe and effective for cosmetic use.
Best Candidates for Neurotoxins
Wrinkle relaxer treatments are suitable for men and women seeking to reduce signs of aging on the most expressive parts of the face–usually the forehead and around the eyes. While most of our clients are in their 30s, some people choose to start preventative Botox injections in their early to mid 20s.
Good candidates for neurotoxins typically wish to address or prevent:
Contraindications include allergies to botulinum toxin ingredients and certain neurological disorders. We do not recommend getting Botox injections if you are pregnant or nursing.
Before & Afters
After treatment, you'll notice a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. The full effects usually set in within a few days and can last for several months, depending on the type of neurotoxin used.
What to Expect from Your Botox Treatment
Consultation
Your treatment begins with a consultation, where you'll discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns with our experienced clinicians. We'll assess your facial structure, review your medical history and determine if Botox or Dysport is right for you. This personalized approach ensures the treatment is tailored to your specific needs.
Procedure
During the procedure, you'll be comfortably seated in a relaxed environment. Our clinician will mark the areas to be treated and use a fine needle to administer small amounts of Botox or Dysport into the targeted facial muscles. The process is quick, typically taking only about 10 to 15 minutes, and involves minimal discomfort.
Recovery
Post-treatment, you can immediately resume most of your routine activities. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and not rubbing the treated areas for 24 hours to ensure the product stays in the targeted muscles. Common side effects are slight redness, swelling and bruising at the injection site, but these effects are temporary.
Follow-ups
Results typically appear within a few days, and we recommend a follow-up visit in two weeks to assess the outcomes and make any necessary adjustments. The effects of Botox and Dysport last about 3 to 4 months, after which you can schedule another appointment to maintain your refreshed appearance.

FAQs
Can neurotoxins cause any side effects?
Like most medical treatments, neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport can have side effects, though they are generally mild and temporary. Common side effects include minor redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites. In rare cases, there can be temporary drooping of an eyelid or asymmetry if the toxin migrates to other areas of the face.
To minimize the risk of adverse effects caused by improper injection technique, be sure to visit a qualified professional such as a licensed esthetician, board-certified plastic surgeon or other dermatology expert.
Is getting Botox painful?
These treatments involve small injections with a fine needle, which may cause minimal discomfort. Many patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. Clinique AG ensures the utmost care for a comfortable treatment experience.
How is Botox different from dermal fillers?
Wrinkle relaxers target muscle contractions that lead to wrinkles, while dermal fillers restore volume and fullness to areas that have lost collagen and fat due to aging. Dermal fillers can also smooth out deeper wrinkles and folds, providing a different approach to facial rejuvenation.
How long do results from Botox or Dysport last?
The results from Botox or Dysport treatments typically last between 3 to 4 months. The longevity can vary depending on individual factors like muscle strength, metabolism and the area treated.
