Why Do Wrinkles Happen?
Over time, your body produces less collagen and elastin—the scaffolding that keeps skin smooth and firm. This, combined with repetitive expressions (like frowning or squinting), sun exposure, and natural fat loss, leads to visible lines.
There are two main types:
With expert treatment, both types can be softened or erased for a refreshed, not frozen, appearance.
Treatment Journey
Wrinkle Mapping & Plan – we evaluate movement patterns and skin thickness
First-Line Treatment – Botox® or Xeomin® for motion-based lines, filler or Moxi™ for etched lines
Progress Check – results appear gradually and we adjust as needed
Maintenance – Botox® every 3–4 months, fillers every 6–12 months, Moxi™ quarterly for collagen boost
Results & Expectations
Dynamic lines: soften within 3–10 days of Botox® or Xeomin®
Fine lines & skin texture: smoother after 1–3 microneedling or Moxi™ sessions
Deep folds: plumped and less visible with 1–2 syringes of dermal filler
Longevity: Botox® ~3–4 months, filler ~6–12 months, collagen improvements up to 1 year
Frequently Asked Questions
Do wrinkle treatments make me look frozen?
Not at Refresh. We customize dosage to maintain movement while softening lines. You’ll still look like you, just fresher.
Can wrinkles go away completely?
Dynamic lines can disappear with Botox®. Deeper folds improve dramatically with filler and collagen-boosting laser or microneedling.
Is it safe for all skin tones?
Yes. We tailor all treatments—especially laser and peels—for safe use on all Fitzpatrick skin types.
How soon will I see results?
Botox® takes 3–10 days. Fillers show instantly. Collagen treatments take 4–6 weeks to show improvement.
What’s the cost?
Botox® starts at $13/unit, with most areas needing 20–40 units. Filler from $699/syringe. Moxi™ and microneedling from $399. We create a plan based on your goals and wrinkle depth.
How do I maintain my results long term?
Consistency is key. We recommend regular Botox® touch-ups every 3–4 months, filler refreshers once or twice a year, and quarterly collagen treatments like Moxi™ or microneedling.
