We treat dynamic wrinkles using wrinkle relaxers like Botox in Arlington, but what about static wrinkles? We offer a solution for those too! Static wrinkles are typically caused by the loss of facial volume, which can be treated using dermal fillers. If you’re not sure which kind of wrinkles you have, you can easily schedule a consultation with our team.

Feel Confident in Your Appearance
Wrinkles are a very natural sign of aging. You may notice them when you smile, grimace, or furrow your brows, but they don’t need to become a permanent part of your aging process. At the Institute for Hormonal Balance, we offer wrinkle relaxers, like Botox, in Arlington to smooth dynamic wrinkles and create a more youthful appearance.
How It Works
There are two different types of wrinkles: dynamic and static. Static wrinkles are visible even when your face is completely relaxed, but dynamic wrinkles only appear when you contract your facial muscles, like when smiling or frowning.
Wrinkle relaxers use a small, highly purified dose of bacteria called Botulinum A. The formula was originally developed to help address muscle spasms, but doctors quickly realized that Botox could also temporarily stop the muscle movements that cause wrinkles. When used on the small muscles in your face, this can relieve the appearance of dynamic wrinkles without “freezing” your face.

What to Expect
When you arrive for treatment, we will discuss your specific wrinkle concerns and choose a wrinkle relaxer that will best help you achieve your goals. Then we’ll cleanse your skin and mark the right spots for your injections. Our providers are experts at determining the most suitable spots for your injections to deliver the best results.
Once we’ve finished your injections, we provide you with aftercare instructions and let you know when you can expect your results.
Pre & Post Care Instructions
-
Avoid all exfoliating treatments and products 2 weeks before getting Botox in Arlington.
-
Wear sunscreen the week before your appointment. We recommend using ZO Skincare sunscreen for the best results.
-
Arrive with clean skin that has no oils, makeup, or lotions present.
-
Sleep face up and with your head slightly elevated for about 3 days following your injections.
-
Continue wearing ZO sunscreen to protect your skin from getting sunburned or damaged.
-
Do not touch, massage, or scratch your face since this could cause the product to move from its designated place.
-
Do not raise your body temperature for 4 hours following treatment (no exercise, hot tubs, saunas, being out in the sun, etc.).
-
Do not lie down for at least 4 hours after your injections.
-
Avoid wearing hats, visors, headbands or anything on the head that has the potential to move the neurotoxin for 24 hours.
-
To avoid infection, avoid wearing makeup on the day of the treatment. The face can be washed like normal at night (at least 4 hours post-treatment).
-
Be sure to schedule a 2-week follow-up appointment so your injector can assess your results and perform any enhancements if needed.
Pairing Treatments With Botox
In Arlington, we want to help our patients achieve each of their aesthetic goals, which often means combining treatments. We can combine Botox with various facial aesthetic services to further enhance a youthful, refreshed look. Here are a few of our treatments we recommend pairing with Botox.
Dermal Fillers
Our patients love combining dermal fillers with Botox to restore areas of lost volume and treat static wrinkles caused by skin laxity and natural aging. Combining these injectables allows us to treat both types of wrinkles and support a radiant appearance.
Emface Facial Contouring
We can use Emface to support your natural features and reduce signs of aging. The device utilizes applicators that trigger muscle contractions to tighten lax skin and enhance volume to essentially “lift” your features. Using these treatments together addresses superficial concerns, like wrinkles, while enhancing muscle tone and tissues beneath the surface for a more youthful complexion.
Facials
If you need a moment of relaxation or want to hone in on specific skin concerns, our facials can enhance the health and quality of your skin. Depending on your unique goals, we can target specific concerns such as acne, dryness, or signs of aging through a four-step process. Each facial involves cleansing, extraction, exfoliation, and nourishment to help you relax and glow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most of our clients start seeing their results within 7 to 14 days of treatment, but you can expect your results to last about 3 to 4 months. You can help prolong your results by establishing an at-home skincare routine, but you may want to schedule maintenance sessions with our team on a regular basis.
Our providers are focused on your comfort during the entire process. Most patients can receive Botox in Arlington without much pain or discomfort, but we do offer a topical anesthetic before your appointment if you feel you need it.
Since Botox lasts around 3 to 4 months, we can schedule regular appointments so you won’t have to worry about your Botox wearing off. We can also create a custom schedule for your injections during your consultation.
After your treatment for Botox in Arlington, you are free to return to most daily activities. However, we do suggest a 4-hour downtime where you refrain from raising your body temperature, lying down flat, or wearing makeup.
Your provider gives you all the necessary post-care instructions to follow to enhance your results. You should also use SPF 30+ after your injections, which our team can give you recommendations from our ZO skincare line.
No, our clinic offers a few different types of wrinkle relaxers, allowing us to provide solutions for each of our patients’ needs.
Our neuromodulator options each consist of Botulinum toxin, type A. This means they all provide similar effects, but slightly differ in consistency, onset, and spread due to their unique formulas.
Depending on your goals and treatment area, we might recommend a specific injectable, but it mostly comes down to personal preference.
In addition to Botox in Arlington, we offer:
- Dysport: This wrinkle treatment has a slightly different chemical structure compared to our other injectables. This structure allows Dysport to have a greater spread, meaning we recommend it for larger areas of the face, such as the forehead.
- Jeuveau: As one of the newest forms of wrinkle relaxers, Jeuveau works very similarly to Botox, as it temporarily relaxes muscles to prevent creases and lines. Our providers find that Jeuveau results sometimes show up more quickly and might last a bit longer than our other options.
When choosing which treatment you’d like, it’s not a matter of better or worse. It’s based on your preference and which one can address your unique wrinkle concerns effectively.
