Finel lines and wrinkles are certainly a normal part of the natural aging process, but they don’t have to be permanent features thanks to our selection of injectable wrinkle relaxers. These treatments work to directly mitigate the formation of what are known as dynamic wrinkles, smoothing over those that already exist while preventing more from forming in the future…all with minimal downtime and a reduced recovery period.

Selecting the Right Wrinkle Relaxer for You

Jeuveau® is the latest addition to the already-popular line of available botulinum toxin products. Jeuveau acts more directly and has less spread than BOTOX® or Dysport®, which we also offer. As part of your initial consultation, Dr. Porter will analyze your face and recommend which neurotoxin will be best for you. She frequently uses a combination of Botox, Jeuveau, and Dysport so that she can target wrinkles as effectively as possible.

Injectable wrinkle relaxers are just one of many ways that we can help you turn back the clock and say hello to a more rejuvenated and revitalized version of yourself. Thanks to the leadership of Drs. Jennifer Porter and Jigar Sitarapa, our practice has earned a reputation for excellence in Bethesda, Maryland and the surrounding areas. When you’re ready to learn more about what we can do for you, reach out to us and set up your initial consultation.

How Do Wrinkle Relaxers Work?

Wrinkle relaxers specifically target lines and wrinkles that are referred to as “dynamic wrinkles.” While static wrinkles are formed by a gradual increase in skin laxity and the sagging or drooping that can result, dynamic wrinkles are actually formed by the consistent usage of your facial muscles as you perform activities like eating, speaking, and forming facial expressions each day.

Wrinkle relaxers—also known as neuromodulators—create their results by interrupting the nerve signals that tell these facial muscles to move, in the first place. By hitting the “pause button,” in a manner of speaking, on these facial muscles, wrinkle relaxers are able to address the presence of fine lines and wrinkles that have already formed while also keeping your facial muscles from contributing to the formation of further wrinkles. These products are specially formulated to interact directly with your facial muscles in a way that doesn’t compromise your ability to form natural facial expressions, so you’ll enjoy an enhanced look without any telltale signs that you’ve had the procedure performed.

Introducing Jeaveau

Jeuveau is the first and only product of its kind dedicated exclusively to aesthetics! As the fourth neurotoxin to hit the market (and the only new option in almost a decade), Jeuveau is made using a state-of-the-art manufacturing process called Hi-Pure™ technology.

Jeuveau is also the first product from Evolus, and part of its mission is to bring a fresh experience and perspective to the aesthetics industry. If you’d like to learn more about Jeuveau, we’d be happy to help you understand what it can do for you during your consultation.

This meeting gives us the ability to learn about your personal cosmetic goals, so we can be sure that we’re recommending the treatment option that’s right for you once we’ve helped you explore the various wrinkle relaxers we offer.

Treating Your Frown Lines with Injectable Wrinkle Relaxers

Addressing Eleven Lines

Jeuveau is an injectable used to temporarily improve the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows – also known as the “11s.” Jeuveau is very similar to BOTOX in its use and purpose but was created by a different company and is developed from a different strain of the same toxin. Jeuveau appears to spread less than BOTOX and Dysport, for a level of precision that makes it better suited for patients with fewer wrinkles or those that want a light treatment. 

Forehead Bands and More

We can also use Jeuveau for the treatment of forehead lines, crow’s feet, downturned corners of the mouth, fine wrinkles around the mouth, and chin dimpling. The most remarkable aspect of the Jeuveau treatment is that it doesn’t sting when injected. Although BOTOX and Dysport are very well tolerated, Jeuveau may be an ideal option for those that do not like the stinging sensation that can come along with those treatments.

Creating Your Naturalistic Results

As with other facial cosmetic treatments offered at Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Porter’s goal with wrinkle relaxers is to provide her patients with a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance while preserving a natural look. When beginning your treatment, Dr. Porter will use a conservative approach to reduce signs of aging and ensure you’re able to retain your natural facial expressions.

In order to ensure you are happy with your results, Dr. Porter will ask you to return to her office about two weeks after your initial treatment so she can evaluate the results and hear your feedback. This will also help her better optimize treatment in your future wrinkle relaxer sessions, should you continue to receive treatment. Our goal is to create comprehensive results that exceed your expectations.

Download the Tox2GO Mobile App

To maximize your experience with Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery, we recommend that all of our patients download our app, Tox2GO. This app simplifies your treatment by letting you schedule your visits and communicate your target areas prior to your arrival. Patients will also be eligible to receive savings on future Jeuveau injections when they use the Tox2GO app.
