Soften lines without losing your expression
Expression lines are part of a life well lived, but over time the creases between the brows, across the forehead, and around the eyes can start to look deeper than you feel. Neurotoxin injections, often called wrinkle relaxers, temporarily quiet the small muscles that fold the skin, so lines soften and new ones are slower to form.
At our Newton office, every treatment starts with how your face moves. We choose the product, dose, and injection points to keep your natural expressions while easing the lines you want to change.

Frequently asked questions
How long do wrinkle relaxer results last?
Most patients enjoy results for about three to four months. Daxxify™ is designed to last longer, and some people find results stretch out as muscles become used to regular treatment.
Is there any downtime?
Very little. Small bumps at the injection sites fade within minutes, and occasional minor bruising is the most common side effect. Most people go right back to their day.
How do Botox®, Dysport®, Daxxify™, and Xeomin® differ?
All four relax targeted muscles. They differ in formulation, how quickly they take effect, how much they spread, and how long they last. Your provider will recommend the best fit for your goals.
Are these treatments safe?
When performed by a trained, licensed provider, these FDA-approved treatments have a long safety record. We review your health history first and talk through possible side effects before you decide.
