Wrinkle Relaxer TOX

Depends on your muscle strength, not just your age. Typical ranges: forehead 10–20, the 11s 15–25, crow’s feet 12–24 (both sides). A full upper face is usually 40–60 units. Men usually need 20–40% more because the muscles are stronger. Use the calculator above for a personalized estimate — it takes 20 seconds and gives you a real unit range to bring to your provider.

All four are the same active ingredient, so this matters less than the internet suggests. Most Injctr providers start first-timers on Xeomin, and it’s the one the new-client rate is priced on at $7.99 a unit. Xeomin is the bare toxin — none of the carrier proteins the others come wrapped in, so there’s nothing extra for your body to respond to over years of treating. Otherwise it behaves just like Botox: same onset, same 3–4 months. Ask about Dysport if you want it working a day or two sooner or you’re treating a wide forehead, and about Daxxify if you hate coming in and would rather get 5–6 months out of a visit. And if you want Botox because Botox is the name you know, your provider will happily use it.

Not unless you ask for it. Frozen is a dosing choice, not a side effect. Tell your provider "I want to still move" at your consult and they will dose conservatively — more can always be added at the two-week check, but it can’t be taken out. First-timers almost always get dosed light on purpose.

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin: 3–4 months. Daxxify: 5–6 months. It wears off faster if you have a fast metabolism, work out hard, or you’re treating a very strong muscle. It tends to last longer the more consistently you go — the muscle gets weaker over time and needs less.

It’s a 2 out of 10. The needle is thinner than the one used to draw blood, and each injection is under a second. No numbing needed. Between the 11s can sting for a moment.

Most people don’t. To stack the odds: skip alcohol, fish oil, ibuprofen and aspirin for 24 hours beforehand. If you do bruise it’s usually a pinpoint dot that concealer covers, gone in 3–4 days.

No — and it’s actually the best time. Preventative tox stops the crease before it etches into the skin permanently. Once a line is visible at rest it takes a lot more work to reverse than it would have taken to prevent. Most clients in their 20s do 20–30 units twice a year and that’s it.

For 4 hours: don’t lie flat, don’t rub the area, no hot yoga or hard workouts. That’s it. You can wear makeup, drive yourself, and go straight back to work.

It’s temporary — that’s the safety net. Everything fully wears off in 3–4 months. In the meantime, if something looks uneven, come back at two weeks and your provider fixes it.

The licensed nurse practitioner or physician assistant who owns your Injctr — never an unlicensed tech, and never someone you meet for the first time with a needle already in their hand.
