Smooth Lines. Natural Expression.
Wrinkle relaxation treatments help soften expression lines and wrinkles while maintaining your natural facial movement. At Chicago Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology, our expert clinical injectors use the latest neuromodulators—Botox®, Daxxify®, Dysport®, and Letybo®—to provide customized results that look natural, refreshed, and youthful.
How Do Neuromodulators Work?
Neuromodulators temporarily relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Neck bands and other expression lines
By reducing muscle activity, these treatments smooth the skin while preserving your unique expressions—so you can look refreshed without appearing “frozen.”
Botox®

Daxxify®
A newer option designed for extended results with fewer touch-ups.
Dysport®
Works quickly to relax targeted muscles for a natural, smooth appearance.
Letybo®
Innovative formula providing reliable, customizable results for a refreshed look.

Personalized Consultation
Meet with one of our board-certified injectors to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. Together, we’ll determine the best neuromodulator—Botox®, Daxxify®, Dysport®, or Letybo®—for your needs.
Customized Treatment Plan
Your injector maps the treatment areas, designs a plan for natural-looking results, and explains what to expect during and after your session.
Treatment Session
Using ultra-fine needles, your injector delivers precise doses to targeted muscles. Most sessions take 15–30 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care
You can return to normal activities right away. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur, but these usually resolve quickly. We’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure optimal result
Initial Results & Follow-Up
Results begin to appear within days to a couple of weeks, depending on the neuromodulator used. Your injector may schedule a follow-up to assess results and make minor adjustments if needed.
Maintenance & Touch-Ups
To maintain smooth, youthful results, treatments are typically repeated every 3–6 months (Daxxify may last longer). Touch-ups ensure continued natural-looking results without over-treating.
