Botox and similar muscle relaxers such as Daxxify, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin are among the most popular and effective treatments for reducing dynamic wrinkles, the lines formed by repeated facial expressions over time. At Calabasas Med Spa, we specialize in matching the degree of treatment with the amount desired by our patients. Many want a subtle, natural-looking result that helps you appear refreshed, not “frozen”, while others don’t want any movement at all.
Facial expressions like smiling, frowning, and squinting cause repetitive muscle contractions that eventually etch fine lines and wrinkles into the skin. Neuromodulators temporarily relax the targeted facial muscles by blocking nerve signals that trigger movement.
As the muscles relax, wrinkles soften and smooth out, and new lines are prevented from forming. Over time, this leads to smoother skin and a more rested, youthful appearance — while maintaining your natural expressions.
Botox and similar injectables can treat a wide range of concerns, including:
Frown lines (the “11s”) between the eyebrows
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Bunny lines on the nose
Lip lines or “smoker’s lines”
Downturned mouth corners or “frown mouth”
Neck bands (platysmal bands)
Jawline slimming or facial contouring (masseter reduction)
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) under arms, hands, or feet
Our expert injectors customize every treatment to your facial anatomy, balancing artistry with medical precision.
At Calabasas Med Spa, we offer a full range of FDA-approved muscle relaxers so your provider can choose the ideal product, or combination, for your needs:
The original and most widely used neuromodulator. Known for its precision and consistency, Botox delivers smooth, natural-looking results that typically last 3 to 4 months.
A newer, peptide-enhanced neuromodulator designed for longer-lasting results – often up to 6 months or more. Daxxify offers the same smooth, natural effect as Botox, but with extended duration between treatments.
A versatile option that spreads slightly more than Botox, making it ideal for larger treatment areas such as the forehead. Results appear quickly, often within 2 to 3 days.
A modern formulation of botulinum toxin type A with a fast onset and smooth finish, favored by many younger patients for preventative use.
A “pure” form of botulinum toxin that contains no accessory proteins, making it a good choice for patients who’ve developed resistance to other neuromodulators.
Your provider will help determine which product, or blend, best suits your goals, treatment area, and prior injection history.
Treatment is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime. Using a fine needle, your provider injects small amounts of the chosen product into specific muscles. The session usually takes 15–30 minutes, and most patients return to normal activities immediately afterward.
Mild redness or pinpoint swelling may occur for a short time. Results typically begin to appear within 3–5 days, reaching full effect at around 2 weeks.
Depending on the product and your metabolism, results generally last:
Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin: 3–4 months
Daxxify: up to 6 months or more
Routine maintenance treatments help sustain smooth, youthful results and may even train your facial muscles to stay more relaxed over time.
Neuromodulators pair beautifully with other skin rejuvenation procedures offered at Calabasas Med Spa, including:
Dermal fillers for restoring lost volume or contouring cheeks, lips, and jawline
IPL Photofacials for sun damage and redness
Microneedling or RF Microneedling for collagen renewal
Clear + Brilliant for surface radiance and smoothness
Together, these treatments can deliver a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan tailored to your needs.
All injectable treatments are performed by highly trained medical professionals under physician supervision. We focus on achieving a refined, balanced aesthetic – enhancing your natural features while maintaining expression and individuality.
Our philosophy is simple: you should look like your best self, not someone else.
