Wrinkle Relaxers in Ottawa
Wrinkle relaxers (neuromodulators like Botox® and Dysport®) soften forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet by relaxing the muscles that crease your skin — smoothing wrinkles while keeping your natural expression. At Luma Skin Clinic in Ottawa, treatments are performed by an experienced nurse injector in about 30 minutes, with zero downtime.
Nurse-led · Health Canada–approved products · Zero downtime
Refreshed, never frozen
Fast, visible results
Lines begin softening within 3–5 days, with full results at two weeks. Most clients say colleagues notice they look rested — not that they've had anything done.
Naturally conservative dosing
We map your facial anatomy and start with the minimum effective dose. You can always add units at a complimentary two-week check — you can't subtract them.
Preventative power
Relaxing repetitive muscle movement doesn't just soften existing lines — it slows new ones from etching in, which is why many clients start in their late 20s and 30s.
Your wrinkle relaxers plan
- Book at least two weeks before a big event so results fully set in.
- Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen and fish-oil supplements for 24–48 hours before to minimize bruising (check with your doctor before pausing any medication).
- Arrive with clean skin if possible — we'll cleanse the area regardless.
- Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with an active rash in the treatment area.
- Your nurse injector assesses your facial movement and maps precise injection points.
- A series of tiny injections with an ultra-fine needle — most clients rate discomfort 2–3 out of 10.
- The whole visit, including your assessment, takes about 30 minutes.
- Tiny bumps at injection sites settle within the hour; you can head straight back to your day.
- Stay upright and avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 4 hours.
- Skip strenuous exercise, saunas and hot yoga for 24 hours.
- Wait two weeks before facials, massages or other facial treatments.
- Results peak at two weeks — if you'd like a touch-up, we'll see you then.

Wrinkle Relaxers FAQ
How much do wrinkle relaxers cost in Ottawa?
At Luma Skin Clinic, wrinkle relaxers are $10 per unit. Most first-time clients use 20–50 units depending on the areas treated, so a typical visit ranges from $200–$500. Your exact dose is confirmed during your assessment before anything is injected — no surprises.
Will I look frozen or unnatural?
No — when dosed conservatively by a trained nurse injector, wrinkle relaxers soften lines while preserving your natural expression. We deliberately start with a conservative dose; you can always add more at a follow-up, but you can't take it away.
How long do wrinkle relaxers last?
Results typically last 3–4 months. Effects begin within 3–5 days, peak around 2 weeks, and gradually fade as the muscle regains movement. Most clients book maintenance visits 3–4 times a year.
Does it hurt?
Most clients rate it 2–3 out of 10. The needles are ultra-fine and each injection takes a second. The full appointment, including your assessment, is about 30 minutes.
Is there any downtime?
Essentially none — you can return to work immediately. Avoid lying down, rubbing the area, or strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. Small injection-site bumps settle within an hour.
Can I get wrinkle relaxers while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Wrinkle relaxers are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Book a consultation and we'll build a treatment plan you can start when the timing is right.
