Wrinkle Relaxers
BOTOX® AND DYSPORT® INJECTIONS MADE TO REFINE EXPRESSION AND PRESERVE MOVEMENT
Designed to soften fine lines, frown lines, and facial wrinkles while preserving natural movement and expression. The goal is a refreshed, softened appearance. Never frozen or overdone.
Artistry & expertise
An injector’s skill is the differentiating factor between soft, natural movement and a face that looks and feels completely flat.
Every visit at Clemens starts with a detailed assessment of your facial muscles, skin quality, movement patterns, and overall facial balance.
Treatments are highly customized, allowing for strategic softening of fine lines and wrinkles while preserving natural movement, expression, and a refreshed appearance.
Before You Book
-
You tend to be a good fit if you're noticing forehead lines, frown lines, or crow's feet that linger even when your face is at rest, or if you want to soften expression lines while keeping your face expressive, not flat.
Treatment isn't recommended for everyone. It's typically not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for certain neuromuscular conditions, or a known allergic history to Botulinum type-A. If you are unsure of your eligibility for Botox®, Dyport® or other neuromodulators, please contact us before booking.
-
Upper face: forehead lines, the "11s" between the brows, and crow's feet are often the most common starting points for most patients.
Lower face: lip flip, masseter reduction for a slimmer jawline (also used to ease teeth grinding and jaw tension), chin dimpling, and the Nefertiti lift for jawline and neck definition.
Beyond wrinkles: Botox® and Dysport® are also used to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), most commonly at the underarms, palms, upper lip, hairline, or scalp.
-
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for 3-5 days prior (when medically appropriate)
Reduce or avoid alcohol intake for 24 hours prior
Complete your exercise prior to your visit
Come with a clean face if possible
-
Treatment itself is quick — most visits take 15 to 30 minutes, and anesthesia usually isn't needed.
Immediately afterward, mild redness or small bumps at the injection sites are normal and typically settle within a few hours. For the rest of the day, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, skip lying flat for a few hours, and hold off on strenuous exercise.
Results build gradually, like a switch dimmer: initial softening within 3-5 days, full effect by day 10-14, with results peaking at 6-8 weeks. Most patients see results last 3-4 months before gradually returning to baseline.
Your Provider
Your consultation and your treatment are handled by one person, start to finish: Jo Sulistio, a board-certified nurse practitioner who specializes in aesthetic medicine. Never handed off to a technician, never a rotating cast of staff.
This matters because wrinkle relaxer treatments were never meant to be one-size-fits-all. Brow height, muscle strength, and how your face moves at rest shapes the right approach, accounting for anatomical nuances and what your aesthetic preferences are.

FAQS
-
Wrinkle relaxers (also called neuromodulators/neurotoxins) such as Botox® and Dysport® are injectable treatments that temporarily reduce muscle activity to soften fine lines, frown lines, and facial wrinkles. They are commonly used for forehead lines, crow’s feet, the “11s” between the brows, facial slimming, and lower face rejuvenation
-
Common treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, chin dimpling, neck bands, bunny lines, lip flip, masseter muscles for facial slimming, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Treatment can also be used strategically to soften downward pull in the lower face.
-
No, the goal is a softened, refreshed appearance while preserving natural facial movement and expression. Treatment is approached conservatively and strategically to avoid an overdone or frozen look.
-
Most wrinkle relaxer treatments last approximately 3–4 months, though this varies depending on the treatment area, dosage, metabolism, and muscle strength. Areas such as the masseters or hyperhidrosis may last longer.
-
Results typically begin appearing within 3–5 days, with full results visible around 10–14 days after treatment. For areas such as facial slimming or hyperhidrosis, results may continue developing over 2–4 weeks.
-
In many cases, yes. Hooded eyes aren't a reason to rule out treatment, they're just a reason to be more thoughtful about how it's done.
Forehead and brow-area injections can shift brow position, and generic, one-size-fits-all dosing is what causes hooding to look heavier, not the treatment itself.
Jo has extensive experience providing Dysport® and Botox® treatments in patients with hooded eyes due to her understanding of East Asian faces. Her dosing and placement are planned around specific structure, not a default protocol built for a different anatomy.
-
No — Botox® and Dysport® do not permanently remove wrinkles, but they can significantly soften and prevent them from deepening over time. With consistent treatment, many patients notice that facial lines become less etched into the skin, even as the product wears off.
-
Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. Some patients may also experience temporary tightness, mild headache, or slight asymmetry as the product settles. More significant side effects, such as eyelid drooping, are uncommon and typically temporary.
