What Are Wrinkle Relaxers? Dysport & Jeuveau in Amarillo, TX

Quick Answer: Wrinkle relaxers are injectable neurotoxins that temporarily block the nerve signals that cause facial muscles to contract — smoothing dynamic wrinkles like forehead lines, "11s," and crow's feet. At Luxe Beauty Med Spa in Amarillo, TX, we offer Dysport and Jeuveau, with results that last 3–4 months and zero downtime.

What Are Wrinkle Relaxers? The Basics

"Wrinkle relaxer" is the umbrella term for cosmetic neurotoxin injections. You've probably heard the brand names Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau — these all belong to the same category. Each one is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, FDA-approved to temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles.

Dynamic wrinkles are the lines that form when you move your face — squinting, raising your brows, frowning. Over time, those repeated muscle movements etch lines into the skin even at rest. Wrinkle relaxers interrupt that process.

When injected in small, precise doses, the neurotoxin blocks the signal between the nerve and the muscle, causing the muscle to relax. The skin above softens. Lines smooth out. And critically — done correctly — your face still moves and looks completely natural.

What Wrinkle Relaxers Does Luxe Beauty Offer in Amarillo?

At Luxe Beauty Med Spa, we offer two FDA-approved neurotoxin options: Dysport and Jeuveau. During your consultation, Amber Wray, NP-C will recommend the right option for your anatomy, goals, and how your body responds to treatment.

Dysport

Dysport is a widely used neurotoxin known for spreading efficiently in larger muscle groups like the forehead. It's priced at $5 per unit (2.5:1 ratio) at Luxe Beauty — meaning 2.5 units of Dysport equals the effect of 1 unit of other neurotoxins, so your provider will calculate your dosage accordingly.

Jeuveau ("Newtox")

Jeuveau is a newer, cosmetic-only neurotoxin that's specifically engineered for facial aesthetic use. It's priced at $12 per unit at Luxe Beauty. Some clients find Jeuveau kicks in slightly faster than other options. Read more about Jeuveau in our dedicated blog post.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Wrinkle Relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers at Luxe Beauty can address a wide range of concerns:

• Forehead lines — the horizontal lines that appear when you raise your brows • Glabella / "11s" — the vertical lines between your eyebrows when you frown • Crow's feet — the lines that fan out from the corners of your eyes • Brow lifting — a subtle lift without surgery by relaxing the muscles pulling the brow down • Lip flip — a small amount of neurotoxin along the upper lip to gently roll it outward for a fuller appearance • Gummy smile correction — reduces how much gum is visible when you smile • Chin dimpling ("peau d'orange") — smooths the texture of a dimpled chin • Neck bands (platysmal bands) — reduces visible neck cords • Masseter / TMJ — relaxes the jaw muscle to slim the lower face and reduce jaw clenching and grinding • Undereye area — can soften fine lines with precise, experienced placement

How Much Do Wrinkle Relaxers Cost in Amarillo?

At Luxe Beauty, our neurotoxins are priced as follows:

• Dysport: $5 per unit (2.5:1 ratio) • Jeuveau: $12 per unit

Every face is different, and the number of units you'll need depends on your anatomy, muscle strength, and treatment area. During your consultation, Amber will give you a personalized estimate so there are no surprises. Payment plans are available through PatientFi — apply in minutes with no impact to your credit score.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Your Treatment

Before Your Appointment

To reduce bruising and get the best results: • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for 24–48 hours before • Stop using retinol or exfoliating products 2–3 days prior • Stay hydrated and eat a light meal beforehand • Do not come in sick or with active cold sores near the treatment area • Do not book within 2 weeks of a major event

During Your Appointment

Your appointment starts with a consultation where Amber reviews your goals and facial anatomy. Treatment takes just 15–20 minutes. Ultra-fine needles are used, and most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. No numbing cream is typically needed.

After Your Treatment

You'll be back to your day immediately. A few things to keep in mind: • Do not lie flat for 4 hours post-treatment • Skip intense cardio and heat exposure (sauna, hot tubs) for 24 hours • Don't touch, rub, or massage the treated areas for 48 hours • Avoid facials, laser treatments, or chemical peels for 2 weeks • Results start appearing within 3–7 days, with full results at 2 weeks • A 2-week follow-up check-in is included to assess results and make any adjustments

How Long Do Wrinkle Relaxers Last?

Most clients see results last 3–4 months. With consistent treatment, many find they need less product over time as the treated muscles gradually weaken. A regular maintenance schedule — every 3–4 months — is the best way to maintain smooth, refreshed skin year-round.

Wrinkle Relaxers vs. Dermal Filler: What's the Difference?

This is one of the most common questions we get — and the answer is simple: • Wrinkle relaxers treat dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement (forehead lines, 11s, crow's feet) • Dermal filler treats volume loss and static wrinkles (hollow cheeks, nasolabial folds, thin lips) Many of our clients benefit from both. A combined approach — sometimes called a liquid facelift — can address lines, loss of volume, and overall facial balance. Ask Amber at your consultation which approach is right for your goals.

Are Wrinkle Relaxers Safe?

Yes — when performed by a licensed, experienced medical professional, wrinkle relaxers have an excellent safety record backed by decades of clinical use. At Luxe Beauty, all injectable treatments are performed by Amber Wray, NP-C, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with specialized training in medical aesthetics. Medical services at Luxe Beauty are supervised by Dr. Michael Flores (TX license #L2888).

Common, temporary side effects may include mild swelling, redness, or small bumps at the injection site. Serious complications are rare and almost always associated with improper technique or unqualified providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau?

All three are neurotoxins that work the same way — they temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth wrinkles. The differences are in formulation, spread, and unit pricing. At Luxe Beauty, we offer Dysport and Jeuveau. Amber will help you choose the best option for your goals and anatomy.

Will wrinkle relaxers make me look frozen?

Not when done correctly. Amber's approach is conservative by design — it's always easier to add more at a follow-up than to over-treat. The goal is to look refreshed and natural, not frozen.

Can I get wrinkle relaxers if I'm pregnant or nursing?

No. Wrinkle relaxers are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We'll help you plan your treatments around your timeline.

How soon can I see results?

You'll start noticing results within 3–7 days. Full results appear around the 2-week mark. First-time clients are always welcome back for a complimentary 2-week check-in.

Can I use HSA or FSA for wrinkle relaxers?

Coverage varies by plan. We recommend checking with your provider. Luxe Beauty accepts HSA/FSA cards for many services.
