At Gióva Aesthetics + Wellness, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are part of a thoughtful approach to facial rejuvenation. These treatments—commonly known as wrinkle relaxers—soften expression lines while maintaining natural movement and balance in the face.
Wrinkle relaxers work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. These are the lines that form from repeated facial expressions over time, such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.
When these muscles relax, the skin above them smooths out and wrinkles become less noticeable.
At Gióva, wrinkle relaxers are used strategically—not to freeze your face, but to soften expression lines while preserving natural movement and facial harmony.
Wrinkle relaxers can improve areas such as:
Many patients also choose Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin preventatively to help slow the formation of deeper wrinkles over time.
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are FDA-approved injectable neuromodulators that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for expression lines.
These medications work by blocking the signal between nerves and muscles. When the muscle contracts less forcefully, the overlying skin can smooth out and wrinkles become less noticeable.
At Gióva Aesthetics + Wellness, wrinkle relaxer treatments begin with a thorough consultation. Your provider evaluates facial anatomy, muscle movement, skin quality, and long-term aesthetic goals before recommending a treatment plan.
This thoughtful approach helps ensure natural-looking results that maintain facial expression while softening lines.
The injections themselves are quick and minimally invasive, but the planning behind them is intentional and customized to each patient.
Results typically begin appearing within several days and most patients enjoy smoother skin for about three to four months.
While Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin all belong to the same category of wrinkle relaxers, each product has slightly different characteristics. During your consultation, your provider will determine which option is best based on your facial anatomy and treatment goals.

Botox is the most widely recognized neuromodulator and has been used in cosmetic medicine for decades.
It is commonly used to treat:
Results usually begin appearing within three to five days, with full results visible around two weeks after treatment.
Dysport is another highly effective wrinkle relaxer that is often preferred for larger treatment areas like the forehead.
Some patients notice Dysport working slightly faster than Botox, sometimes within two to three days.
Because Dysport spreads a bit more easily, it can create very natural-looking results in certain areas.
Xeomin is sometimes referred to as a purified neuromodulator because it contains only the active botulinum toxin molecule without additional accessory proteins.
For some patients, this simplified formula may reduce the chance of developing resistance over time.
Xeomin provides results comparable to Botox and Dysport.
Wrinkle relaxers can be used in many areas of the face and neck to soften lines and improve facial balance.
Common treatment areas include:
We’ll always tailor your treatment to what’s right for your face. We also offer treatments for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and migraines.

Results from wrinkle relaxer treatments typically begin appearing within several days, with full results visible around 10–14 days after treatment.
Most patients enjoy smoother skin and softened expression lines for approximately three to four months. Longevity can vary depending on muscle strength, treatment area, metabolism, and dosage used.
Recovery from Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin injections is minimal. Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
It is common to experience mild redness, small bumps at the injection sites, or slight tenderness for a short period of time after treatment. These effects typically resolve within a few hours.
To allow the medication to settle properly, patients are generally advised to:
Your provider at Gióva Aesthetics + Wellness will review personalized post-treatment instructions during your appointment to ensure the best possible results.

At Gióva Aesthetics + Wellness, wrinkle relaxer treatments are never one-size-fits-all.
Every face is unique, and muscle movement patterns vary from person to person. Because of this, toxin injections should always be customized to the individual.

This allows us to design treatments that soften wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expression.
For many patients, Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin becomes just one part of a broader aesthetic strategy that may also include skin treatments, lasers, or collagen-stimulating procedures.
The goal is refined, natural results that support how you want to age. Call (801) 882-2200 to book a consultation or stop by Gióva in Kaysville. Let’s chat about your goals, your skin, and what helps you feel your best—whatever that looks like for you.
Gióva Aesthetics + Wellness provides Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin treatments for patients throughout:
If you are considering wrinkle relaxers, a consultation at Gióva can help determine the best treatment plan for your goals.
Most patients describe the injections as a quick pinching sensation. Treatments are very fast, and discomfort is typically minimal.
Some improvement may appear within a few days, with full results visible around 10–14 days after treatment.
The number of units depends on the treatment area, muscle strength, and desired outcome. Your provider will determine the appropriate dosage during your consultation.
All three wrinkle relaxers are effective and FDA-approved. The best option depends on facial anatomy, treatment goals, and personal preference.
Absolutely. Most people walk right out the door and go on with their day. There might be a tiny bit of redness or swelling at the injection site, but it usually fades within an hour or two. We recommend skipping workouts, massages, or lying down for the first four hours to let the product settle properly.
Not at all. While it’s most well-known for smoothing lines, Botox can also help with jaw tension (TMJ), excessive sweating, lip flips, brow lifts, and even softening the neck bands. If you’ve got something bothering you, bring it up — we’ll talk through your options.
