Facial Injections 101: Wrinkle Relaxers and Neuromodulators Explained

Looking for a way to smooth wrinkles, refresh your appearance, and still look like yourself? You’re not alone. Non-surgical cosmetic treatments have become the go-to solution for aging gracefully — and facial injections like injectable neuromodulators and wrinkle relaxers are leading the charge.

Whether you’re just starting to explore facial rejuvenation or you’ve already been Googling terms like “Botox vs Dysport vs Daxxify”, this guide will help you understand how these treatments work — and where to get them from trusted experts.

At Luxe Med Spa, we specialize in personalized injectable treatments designed to enhance your natural beauty while maintaining your facial expressions.


What Are Facial Injections?

Facial injections are a broad category of cosmetic treatments administered via needle or cannula to:

  • Reduce wrinkles and fine lines

  • Restore lost volume

  • Enhance facial features (like lips or cheeks)

  • Improve skin texture and tone

There are two main types of injectables we offer at Luxe:

  1. Neuromodulators (wrinkle relaxers) — Botox, Dysport, Daxxify

  2. Dermal Fillers — Juvederm, Restylane, and others

In this post, we’ll focus on injectable neuromodulators — the wrinkle-smoothing powerhouses also known as wrinkle relaxers.

How Injectable Neuromodulators Work

Wrinkles form from years of repeated facial expressions — frowning, smiling, raising eyebrows. Neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions.

This allows the muscle to relax, softening wrinkles caused by movement — especially in the:

  • Forehead

  • Between the brows (frown lines)

  • Crow’s feet

  • Nose and chin area

Over time, regular use of neuromodulators may even help prevent new wrinkles from forming.

Choosing the Right Wrinkle Relaxer: Botox, Dysport, or Daxxify?

At Luxe Med Spa, we offer three top-tier wrinkle relaxers:

Botox

The most recognized brand with proven results. Typically lasts 3–4 months. Great for all ages and skin types.

Dysport

Has a quicker onset (results in 2–3 days) and spreads more evenly — great for treating larger areas like the forehead.

Daxxify

The latest innovation. It lasts 6–9 months, thanks to a peptide-powered formula. Ideal for clients seeking fewer appointments per year.

Benefits of Wrinkle Relaxers

Whether you’re targeting a specific wrinkle or looking for a refreshed, youthful glow, wrinkle relaxers offer:

  • Fast, noticeable results

  • No downtime

  • Natural-looking facial movement

  • Long-term wrinkle prevention

  • Customizable treatment plans

And because they’re non-surgical, you can return to your normal routine immediately after your appointment.

Combining Neuromodulators with Fillers

Facial injections don’t stop at wrinkle relaxers. Many clients also opt to restore volume and contour with dermal fillers, like Juvederm or Restylane, which are often used to:

  • Plump the lips

  • Lift the cheeks

  • Define the jawline

  • Fill under-eye hollows

This combo approach is often referred to as a “liquid facelift” — results are dramatic, yet natural.

The Luxe Med Spa Experience: What to Expect

We believe injectables should never be one-size-fits-all. At Luxe Med Spa, our process is:

  1. Personalized Consultation
    Your injector will assess your anatomy, expressions, and aesthetic goals.

  2. Customized Treatment
    We determine the right product, dosage, and injection sites for you — not just what’s trendy.

  3. Comfortable Experience
    Most wrinkle relaxer appointments take 15–20 minutes and feel like quick pinches.

  4. Aftercare Support
    We provide full guidance on aftercare and when to schedule your next visit.
