Gracefully Refreshed
Expression lines are a natural part of life, but they do not have to be the first thing people notice. At Well Labs+ Medspa Royal Oak, we offer FDA-approved wrinkle relaxers, including Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Xeomin and Jeuveau, to soften lines and help you look as rested as you feel. Wrinkle relaxers gently reduce the muscle movement that creates lines, so skin looks smoother while your face still moves naturally.
Wrinkle relaxers target facial muscles responsible for the expressions we make and gently reduce the movement that causes fine lines to form. The result? Smoother, more relaxed, youthful looking skin. Wrinkle relaxers target facial muscles responsible for the expressions we make and gently reduce the movement that causes fine lines to form.

Treatment
While wrinkle relaxer appointments are quick, we customize each session to your needs and your goals. Your injector will administer your designated wrinkle relaxer with precision and care based on your anatomy and expressions.
Results
You may start noticing softening lines and wrinkles within 14 days, with full results lasting around 3 to 4 months following your treatment. Clients receiving Dysport or Botox in Royal Oak, MI, can expect smoother skin, softened lines, and a refreshed look that still feels like them.
Follow-Up
Our treatment plans aren’t one-size-fits-all. Every face moves differently, which means your plan is unique to you. We recommend treatments every 3 to 4 months to maintain your results, but this timeline may vary depending on your skin and facial anatomy.
What to Expect
We’re here to guide you through the process, relieving what stress we can, communicating openly, and setting realistic expectations.
Choosing Your Wrinkle Relaxer
All five wrinkle relaxers we offer relax muscles in the same basic way. The differences are in how fast they work, how far they spread and how long they last. Your injector will recommend the best fit for your face, your goals and your schedule.

Results vary by person and treatment area.
Popular Treatment Areas
- Forehead lines. Horizontal lines that form when you raise your brows. Treated lightly to keep natural brow movement.
- Frown lines (the 11s). Vertical lines between the brows that can make you look tired or stressed, even when you are not.
- Crow's feet. Fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes that deepen when you smile.
- Masseter (jaw) treatment. Relaxes the jaw muscles to ease clenching and grinding, and can slim a square jawline over time.
- Neck bands. Softens vertical cords in the neck for a smoother profile.
- Underarm sweating. Reduces sweat production for several months.
How Many Units Will I Need?
Wrinkle relaxers are priced per unit, and the number of units depends on the area, your muscle strength and the result you want. These are typical starting ranges for Botox; your injector will confirm your exact amount at your consultation.
Area & Typical Units Need?
Typical starting ranges for Botox. Your injector will confirm your exact amount.
| Area | Typical units |
|---|---|
| Forehead lines | 10 to 20 |
| Frown lines (11s) | 15 to 25 |
| Crow's feet (both sides) | 12 to 24 |
| Masseters (both sides) | 40 to 60 |
| Underarms (both sides) | Confirm with injector |
Using Dysport? Dysport is measured differently and uses more units for the same effect, so its price per unit is lower. The total cost is usually similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Botox take to work?
Most clients notice softening in 3 to 5 days, with full results at about 2 weeks. Dysport can start working a day or two sooner.
How long does Botox last?
Usually 3 to 4 months. Daxxify can last longer, up to about 6 months for many clients. Regular treatments can help results last a little longer over time.
Will I look frozen?
No. Our injectors use the amount needed to soften lines while keeping natural expression. If you want a lighter result, just tell us.
Does Botox hurt?
Most clients describe a quick pinch. The needles are very fine and the whole treatment takes only a few minutes. Ice or numbing cream can be used if you prefer.
What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Both relax the muscles that cause lines and last 3 to 4 months. Dysport may start working sooner and spreads a little more, which can suit larger areas like the forehead.
How soon before an event should I get Botox?
Book at least 2 weeks before so your results are fully settled. For a first treatment, 3 to 4 weeks gives time for a touch-up if needed.
Can I work out after Botox?
Wait 24 hours before strenuous exercise, saunas or hot yoga. Light walking is fine.
