Wrinkle Relaxers

Your Questions, Answered

• What can wrinkle relaxers help with – and what can they not?

  Wrinkle relaxers can help soften fine lines and smooth areas where repetitive muscle movement causes wrinkles. They do not add volume, improve skin texture or tone, or treat deep static wrinkles that remain even when the face is at rest. If you’re interested in addressing volume loss, skin laxity, or overall skin quality, explore our other treatments like dermal fillers, Sculptra®, light & energy therapy, or microneedling to complement your results. Meet with a Nuey provider to craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your skin’s unique needs.

• What is a neuromodulator?

  A neuromodulator is a substance that alters the way nerves communicate with muscles. In aesthetic treatments, neuromodulators temporarily block the release of acetylcholine, the chemical that signals muscles to contract.

• How does pricing work?

  Wrinkle relaxers are priced per unit. During your consultation, your provider can recommend the most efficient path to your desired results, tailored to your goals, timeline, and budget. At Nuey, we’re committed to price transparency and partner with trusted suppliers to deliver exceptional value without compromising care, safety, or results.

• Are wrinkle relaxers safe?

  Wrinkle relaxers are FDA-approved and have been used in aesthetic treatments for many years. We exclusively use FDA-approved products administered by our team of highly trained professionals. Our team approaches every treatment with precision and care, prioritizing your safety above all else.

• Are there any side effects to wrinkle relaxer treatments?

  Mild side effects are possible, such as minor swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites, however these typically resolve quickly on their own. More serious risks are rare, but may include temporary muscle weakness or facial drooping. Your provider will review individual risks and post-treatment care during your consultation, but reach out promptly if you have any concerns after your visit.

• Does it change the shape of my face?

  Our approach focuses on enhancing your natural appearance. We aim for subtle results that refresh your look without drastically altering your facial structure. Certain treatment areas, like the masseters or trapezius muscles, may also provide a gentle slimming effect.

• What is the downtime?

  There’s minimal downtime with wrinkle relaxer treatments, making it a simple addition to your daily routine. In some cases, you may notice small bumps near the injection sites, which usually fade within an hour. For detailed after-care instructions, please refer to our Wrinkle Relaxers Treatment Care Guide.

• Can I get wrinkle relaxers while pregnant or breastfeeding?

  Wrinkle relaxers are not safe or recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding. We’ll be happy to discuss alternative options with you during your consultation.

• Can I get treated the same day as my complimentary consultation?

  In many cases, wrinkle relaxer treatments can be performed during your consultation visit. To ensure you are eligible, please review and follow our pre-treatment guidelines for wrinkle relaxers in advance – these help ensure safe, effective results. Book your complimentary consultation here.
