Wrinkle Relaxers & Dermal Fillers
Anti-aging injections like Wrinkle Relaxers and Dermal Fillers are a great way to rejuvenate your skin and slow the aging process. Unlike surgical solutions, these non-invasive treatments are relatively pain-free and you can go about your day-to-day life after treatment.

The 2 Types of Anti-Aging Injectables
We offer two types of anti-aging injectables: wrinkle relaxers to reduce fine lines and dermal fillers to restore lost volume—both delivering a more youthful look without surgery.
Wrinkle Relaxers (Neuromodulators)
Wrinkle relaxers work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—those that form from repeated facial expressions like frowning, smiling, or squinting.
These treatments are perfect for reducing fine lines and wrinkles such as:
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Forehead lines
By softening muscle activity, wrinkle relaxers help smooth your skin and prevent new wrinkles from forming. Popular wrinkle relaxers include Botox and Daxxify, both of which are FDA-approved and highly effective.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers target volume loss and static wrinkles—lines and folds that remain visible even when your face is at rest. As we age, the skin loses its natural hyaluronic acid (HA), leading to a sunken or hollow appearance in areas like the cheeks, lips, and under eyes. Dermal fillers restore this lost volume and contour the face for a more refreshed, youthful look.
These fillers are ideal for treating:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Hollow under eyes
- Lip enhancement
- Cheek contouring
What is the Difference Between Wrinkle Relaxers and Fillers?
While both are used to treat the face, they serve two distinct purposes. Wrinkle Relaxers are best for patients looking to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. They work by temporarily reducing muscle activity to prevent wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, such as frowning or squinting.
Dermal Fillers, on the other hand, are used to correct volume loss in the face. As we age, we lose fat in our face which can result in sunken cheeks and under eyes. It can also cause hollow temples in the cheeks and jaw area. Dermal fillers help correct these areas to achieve a more youthful look.
What Wrinkle Relaxer Treatments Are Available At Infinite Vitality?
We offer two advanced wrinkle relaxer treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles, reducing dynamic wrinkles for a smoother, youthful look.
Botox
Botox is a relatively popular treatment that most people have heard of. The actual solution injected is known as a botulinum toxin that can be used to temporarily reduce muscle movement, and it has been used for decades to treat wrinkles.
Daxxify
This injectable is relatively new, but it has been proven to be effective and longer-lasting than Botox. Unlike Botox, it contains short chains of amino acids known as peptides.
Deciding Between Botox and Daxxify
The choice between Botox and Daxxify depends on your specific needs and preferences. Botox is a trusted option for temporary wrinkle reduction, while Daxxify offers longer-lasting results for those seeking fewer treatments.
What Dermal Filler Treatments Are Available at Infinite Vitality?
When it comes to dermal fillers, Infinite Vitality exclusively offers treatments from the RHA Collection. We have carefully selected RHA dermal fillers for their safe and natural-looking results. When compared to other alternatives, they have been formulated to resemble natural hyaluronic acid (HA) found in skin.
That’s not all!
The RHA Collection of fillers is more dynamic than its competitors. The filler can easily adapt to the movements that your face makes so that you will look natural whether at rest or in motion
What is RHA?
RHA stands for Resilient Hyaluronic Acid, which is a special formula of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) that most closely resembles the body’s natural HA. The RHA Collection of dermal fillers is currently the only formula approved by the FDA to treat dynamic facial wrinkles or folds that develop through natural facial expressions.
The body naturally produces HA, which is a substance that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. However, the production of this key substance found in the skin usually wanes as people age. When HA is added back into the skin through dermal fillers, this can make the skin look both hydrated and rejuvenated. In fact, RHA is the greatest for filling in any facial contours, folds, or wrinkles.
What Does RHA Filler Treatment Look Like?
All of our treatments begin with a consultation. At this appointment, you can share your aesthetic goals and ask about the risks and side effects. We may have you make different faces to assess for optimal placement, and we will work with you to create a treatment plan.
Once it is time for the actual treatment to begin, the process is very straightforward. On average, you can expect for the treatment to take between 30 minutes to an hour to:
Step 1.
Prep Treatment Area with Alcohol
Step 2.
Apply Numbing Cream or Other Topical Anesthetic for Additional Comfort
Step 3.
Use Ultra-Fine Needle to Slowly and Carefully Administer Filler Formula
Step 4.
Enjoy the Results
Though there is no downtime with these procedures, it is normal to experience bruising or swelling at the site of the injection. This should resolve and final results should appear in one to two weeks.
Treatment Areas for Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a versatile product that can be used to treat many problem areas including:
Labiomental Lines
Nasal Labial Fold Lines
Lower Eyelid
Cheeks
Lip Lines
Lips
Hands
Why Injectables Might Be the Better Choice?
One of the reasons that so many people prefer injectables over plastic surgery is that the process is less invasive. It can be done quickly in our office, and you can go about your normal routine after treatment without having to worry about downtime and recovery. You also don’t have to worry about medications and other complications involved with surgery.
While the results require more treatment to maintain, injectables are also a more affordable alternative. Most plastic surgery is not covered by health insurance, so patients could spend thousands of dollars out of pocket to achieve similar results.
Our patients appreciate the fact that the results are ultimately temporary. If you decide you aren’t happy with the final results, you will eventually regain muscle movement as long as you don’t continue to get injections.
