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.
Honest, transparent pricing
Wrinkle relaxers are $10 per unit. A typical first treatment uses 20–50 units depending on the areas treated (forehead, frown lines, crow's feet), so most visits range from $200–$500. We recommend maintenance every 3–4 months for best results.
Your exact dose is confirmed at your assessment, before anything is injected.
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.
