Effective Wrinkle Relaxers for Youthful and Rejuvenated Skin
Wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox and Dysport, are injectable neuromodulators derived from botulinum toxin type A. They work by temporarily inhibiting nerve signals to targeted facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by expressions. Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (glabellar lines)
- Crow’s feet
Dr. Chang’s expertise ensures precise application, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance without compromising natural facial expressions.


Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth static wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are effective for:
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Cheek and lip augmentation
- Under-eye hollows
By replenishing lost volume and stimulating collagen production, dermal fillers help achieve a youthful, refreshed look.
Combination Treatments
Many patients benefit from a combination of wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers to address multiple aging concerns comprehensively. Dr. Chang tailors each treatment plan to individual needs, ensuring harmonious and natural-looking results.

- Crow’s feet

FAQ
Cosmetic injectables are minimally-invasive treatments—primarily wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers—that soften lines, restore volume, and refine facial contours without surgery. At Modern Aesthetic Institute in Bakersfield, CA, Dr. Joseph H. Chang uses them to create refreshed, natural-looking results.
- Wrinkle relaxers (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, etc.) to calm dynamic facial muscles.
- Dermal fillers (hyaluronic-acid brands such as Juvéderm®, Restylane®, RHA® and collagen-stimulators like Sculptra®) to plump lips, cheeks, under-eyes, and smooth deeper folds.
These neuromodulators block nerve signals to targeted muscles, preventing the repetitive contractions that etch wrinkles. Common Bakersfield treatment zones include forehead lines, frown lines (the “11s”), and crow’s-feet around the eyes.
Fillers add or replace lost volume to improve nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lip or cheek fullness, and under-eye hollows, giving the face a smoother, lifted appearance.
Wrinkle relaxers soften expression-based (dynamic) lines, whereas fillers address static creases and volume loss. Many Bakersfield patients combine both for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
When properly placed, Botox or Dysport typically keep muscles relaxed for about 3–4 months before a touch-up is needed.
Most hyaluronic-acid fillers maintain volume for 6–18 months, depending on the product and the area treated; cheek and jawline fillers often last longest.
Treatments are quick, use tiny needles, and include optional numbing; patients report little to no pain or downtime and usually return to normal activities right away.
A board-certified oculoplastic surgeon with 25+ years of injection experience and a Top-20 Dysport® volume ranking in the U.S., Dr. Chang tailors every plan for subtle, artful enhancement.
