Book a Free ConsultationWrinkle relaxer injections temporarily reduce the muscle activity responsible for certain expression lines. The goal is not to change what makes your face recognizable, but to help soften selected lines while respecting your natural features.
At Skin Works Medical Spa in Torrance, we offer four established botulinum toxin brands. Your provider considers your anatomy, treatment history, preferences, and goals before recommending a formulation and treatment plan.
Units are product-specific and cannot be directly compared between brands. The total treatment cost depends on the product and individualized dose.
Each product is a prescription botulinum toxin type A treatment, but formulations, labeled indications, and dosing systems differ. We offer dedicated treatment pages for patients who already have a preferred brand.

Explore Botox treatments →A botulinum toxin formulation with its own dosing system. Dysport units are not interchangeable with Botox units.
Explore Dysport treatments →IncobotulinumtoxinA, manufactured without accessory complexing proteins. Your provider can discuss whether it suits your goals.
Explore Xeomin treatments →An aesthetic botulinum toxin formulation with its own clinical characteristics and labeled indications.
Explore Jeuveau treatments →Botulinum toxin temporarily interferes with nerve signaling to selected muscles. As muscle contraction decreases, certain expression lines may soften. The effect is temporary, and treatment results depend on the product, dose, placement, and individual response.
Our providers consider more than brand familiarity. Medical history, facial movement, prior response, and treatment goals help guide the choice.
Unit counts are not a measure of injector skill. The appropriate dose depends on the product and the muscles being treated.
We discuss your preferences for maintaining facial expression and explain what treatment can realistically achieve.

Precise injection placement and appropriate dosing are central to treatment planning.
Wrinkle relaxers are most commonly associated with expression lines in the upper face. Other applications may be considered based on individual anatomy and medical assessment. FDA-approved treatment areas differ by brand, and some applications are off-label.

| Area | Treatment Goal | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Forehead | Soften horizontal expression lines | Placement accounts for brow position |
| Frown Lines | Reduce lines between the eyebrows | Muscle strength affects dosing |
| Crow’s Feet | Soften lines beside the eyes | Smile dynamics are evaluated |
| Brow Area | Selected brow-position concerns | May be off-label |
| Nose | Selected bunny lines | May be off-label |
| Upper Lip | Selected lip-flip concerns | May be off-label |
| Chin | Selected dimpling concerns | May be off-label |
| Jaw / Neck | Selected muscle-related concerns | May be off-label; assessment required |
This table describes possible treatment goals, not an indication that every product is approved for every area.
Some patients know exactly which product they prefer. Others simply want to address a concern. Both are appropriate starting points for a consultation.
Facial movement: We assess how the relevant muscles move at rest and during expression.
Medical history: We review conditions, medications, allergies, previous injections, and possible contraindications.
Product suitability: We consider the available formulations and their approved indications.
Treatment goals: We discuss which changes you want and how much movement you prefer to retain.
Cost and dosing: We explain the recommended product, dose, and total cost before treatment.
Timing: We review expected onset, follow-up, and any upcoming events that could affect scheduling.
Your provider discusses your goals, evaluates relevant facial muscles, and reviews your medical history and available treatment options.
We explain the proposed product, treatment areas, anticipated dose, total cost, and relevant risks so you can make an informed decision.
The selected areas are treated with a series of small injections. The injection portion of many appointments takes approximately 10 to 20 minutes.
We provide aftercare guidance and explain when results should be assessed. Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising, or headache can occur.

Many aesthetic treatments last approximately three to four months, although duration varies with the product, dose, treatment area, and individual response.
Your provider can plan treatment around your preference for retaining movement. Outcomes depend on dosing, placement, anatomy, and response, so a particular appearance cannot be guaranteed.
Many patients return to ordinary activities soon after injections. Temporary swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, or headache can occur. Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your clinician.
