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.
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.
