What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
A wrinkle relaxer is a gentle cosmetic solution designed to smooth out those common fine lines and creases that appear from all our expressions and movements over the years. These popular treatments target aging signs, like forehead wrinkles, Crow's feet by the eyes, and those stubborn lines between your eyebrows, using a specific form of botulinum toxin type A. This ingredient temporarily pauses the muscle activity that causes wrinkles, allowing your skin a chance to smooth out and rejuvenate naturally. At Starr MedSpa in Westlake Village and Studio City, CA, we offer a variety of wrinkle relaxer options, including BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau®, tailored to meet your unique needs. Our team prides itself on delivering glowing results through precise wrinkle relaxer injections.
What Is A Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment Like?
At our Westlake Village and Studio City, CA facilities, during your comprehensive consultation, our skilled team will work with you to identify the most suitable wrinkle relaxer treatment that aligns with your beauty goals. The procedure is conveniently performed as an outpatient service, potentially on the same day as your consultation. You might be asked to make various facial expressions to ensure precision, allowing us to target the right areas effectively. We meticulously prepare your skin, mark the intended injection spots, and use a fine needle — comparable in size to an eyelash — for the injections, ensuring minimal discomfort. A cold compress is applied immediately after to reduce any potential bruising. The entire session can last between 15 – 30 minutes, allowing you to resume your day with little interruption. It's important to plan your treatment at least ten days before any special events to allow the product ample time to achieve its full effect. While there's a slight chance of experiencing bruising, any minor red bumps from the injection will disappear quickly, typically in less than 15 minutes, making the process swift and with minimal pain.
Frequency of treatment: every 2.5 – 4 months

- Creating a newly refreshed look

- Reducing brow wrinkles, Crow's feet, and frown lines around the eyes

- Outcomes are natural-looking and can endure for up to 3 – 4 months
- No downtime is involved following the procedure
Starr MedSpa Reviews
An amazing, amazing med spa! They are so welcoming, accommodating, honest and overall provide an exceptional experience no matter what type of service you are receiving—tox, filler, slim shots, peels, and lasers. I 100% trust Tenley and the team she has built around her! The slim shots work just have to trust the process and Tenley and her team are so open to answering questions quickly if I ever had any!
So thankful for Starr Medspa in helping me reach my health and wellness goals! So helpful in getting off stubborn stomach weight, or all overall toning up. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get the help they need for their aesthetic goals.
The GLP-1 shot has been a game changer for me. I am 4 yrs into my perimenopause and my weight gain was bad. Luckily I have healthy eating and gym habits but my body decided those are no longer “good enough”. After a lot of research on glp-1s I decided to give it a try with Starr MedSpa (Studio City). The team is very informative, kind and SO GENTLE with the shots. When I had minor side effects they adjusted my dose and now I’m back on track. I have lost 5 lbs in 1 month (this is a normal- healthy way to lose weight) and I feel really great on this medication!
I love coming to Starr MedSpa! It is incredibly beautiful and such a relaxing place. I've been going to nurse Alii to get my slim shot for the past couple months and omggg the results have been amazing!!! I've lost 15lbs within 3 months. I've had no side effects, everything has been great! Nurse Alii has been wonderful and I always feel comfortable in her care.
I have been coming to Starr Medspa since the start! I trust Tenley and the nurses there 100%. I recently started with their skinny shots as well and I am already noticing a difference. Super excited to see how I progress!

Wrinkle Relaxers FAQ
How many wrinkle relaxer units/injections will I need?
The quantity of wrinkle relaxer injections needed will range depending on individual concerns and the depth of your facial wrinkles and creases. We can advise you on the appropriate quantity of injections based on your desired aesthetic outcomes. Our staff might suggest getting treatments every 2.5 – 4 months apart at Starr MedSpa to extend your renewed skin.
Are wrinkle relaxer injections painful?
As is the case with most injectable therapies, individuals will notice a mild stinging feeling as the injection is delivered. Note that this feeling just lasts a few seconds, so many people tell us that this minor sensation is quite bearable. Our team will help ensure you remain relaxed throughout the course of your treatment. If needed, we can apply an anesthetic cream to make the procedure more comfortable.
Is there a difference between dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers can help create a youthful appearance, but they both function in their own way. Wrinkle relaxers briefly immobilize the facial muscles to help diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers, meanwhile, boost fullness to recessed parts of the face and fill in deep creases. Our staff can speak more regarding the advantages of dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers during an appointment at our Westlake Village or Studio City, CA, location.
