Wrinkle Relaxers · Bend
Neuromodulators soften the lines that come from years of expression — placed with an anatomist's precision so you look rested, never frozen.

Before & after
Actual Juniper Dermatology patients. Individual results vary; your plan is tailored during your consultation.


Overview
Botox®, Dysport®, Daxxify®, and Xeomin® are FDA-approved wrinkle relaxers that temporarily relax the specific muscles that create frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. The result is smoother skin that still moves naturally.
Are fine lines making you look older than you feel? With over a decade of injecting experience at Juniper Dermatology in Bend, Oregon, our team can help you soften existing wrinkles and prevent new ones — a non-surgical solution to common signs of aging, with flexible financing available.
At Juniper, every treatment is planned and performed under the direction of board-certified dermatologists who understand facial anatomy in detail. That's the difference between a result that looks refreshed and one that looks overdone.
A closer look
All four are FDA-approved neuromodulators that relax the muscles behind frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet — but they behave a little differently. Botox® is the most studied and predictable, with results that typically last three to four months. Dysport® can spread slightly more, which some injectors prefer for broad areas like the forehead, and it often sets in a touch faster. Xeomin® is a “naked” formulation with no added complexing proteins, which some patients prefer and which may reduce the chance of building resistance over time. Daxxify® is the newest option and tends to last longer for many patients, which can mean fewer visits per year.
There is no single “best” product — the right choice depends on your anatomy, how your muscles move, how long you want results to hold, and your history with treatment. At Juniper Dermatology in Bend, we carry Botox®, Dysport®, Daxxify®, and Xeomin® specifically so the plan can be matched to you rather than to whatever a clinic happens to stock.
Wrinkle relaxers are priced per unit (Botox® and Dysport®) or per treatment (Daxxify®), so your total reflects exactly how many units your face needs — not a fixed package. Two people treating “the forehead” can need very different amounts depending on muscle strength, so a precise quote comes at your consultation once your dermatologist has mapped the area.
Because a board-certified dermatologist plans and places every unit, you’re paying for anatomical precision and a natural result, not guesswork. Ask us about membership and loyalty savings and flexible financing, which make maintenance visits easier to plan around.
It depends on the area and how strong the underlying muscles are. Frown lines (the “11s”), horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet each have a typical range, and men often need more than women because facial muscles tend to be stronger. Rather than quote a one-size number, your dermatologist assesses your movement in person and doses to soften the lines while preserving natural expression.
Dysport® and Daxxify® are dosed on their own scales, so their unit counts are not directly comparable to Botox® — another reason the product and the dose are chosen together, for you.
Neuromodulators work gradually. Most people notice softening within three to seven days, with the full effect at about two weeks — so the change looks natural rather than sudden. Botox® and Dysport® generally last three to four months; Daxxify® often lasts longer for appropriate patients.
Consistent maintenance can make results look better over time: treating regularly keeps the muscles from re-deepening the same creases, which is why many patients find they need slightly less product as the years go on. Individual results vary.
Neuromodulators have a long, well-established safety record when placed correctly. The variable that most affects both your result and your safety margin is who is holding the syringe. A board-certified dermatologist understands the layered muscles beneath your skin in detail — which is what separates a refreshed look from a heavy brow, a frozen forehead, or an asymmetric result.
At Juniper, every neuromodulator plan is directed by our board-certified dermatologists in Bend. If something isn’t behaving the way we’d like, you’re in the hands of physicians who diagnose and manage skin and facial anatomy for a living — not a walk-in counter.
What to expect
There is essentially no downtime. Most patients return to work and normal activities immediately. You may have tiny, temporary bumps at the injection sites that settle within 15-30 minutes, and occasionally a small bruise.
Results appear gradually over several days as the muscle softens - not all at once - so the effect looks natural rather than sudden.
What it treats
The vertical lines between the brows that can read as tired or angry.
Horizontal lines across the forehead that deepen with expression.
Fine lines fanning from the corners of the eyes when you smile.
Platysma bands, fine lines around the mouth, and a subtle lip flip.
Masseter treatment to ease clenching and slim a heavy jawline.
Hyperhidrosis of the underarms and palms — more than a cosmetic fix.
Why patients choose it
Dosing tuned to keep your expressions your own.
A short in-office visit — often about 30 minutes — then back to your day.
Botox®, Dysport®, Daxxify®, and Xeomin® matched to your goals and how long you want results to last.

Investment & financing
Wrinkle relaxers are typically priced per unit (Botox, Dysport) or per treatment (Daxxify), so your investment reflects exactly what your face needs — not a one-size package. Because a dermatologist plans and places every unit, you pay for precision and natural results, not guesswork.
Exact pricing is personalized to your plan and confirmed at your consultation. We accept major cards and offer CareCredit financing.
Why a dermatologist
Who injects matters. A board-certified dermatologist maps the muscles beneath your skin, so the right units go in exactly the right place — for a natural result and a strong safety margin.

Pricing depends on the number of units and areas treated. We review exact pricing at your consultation and offer Botox®, Dysport®, Daxxify®, and Xeomin® so you can choose the best fit. Ask about membership and loyalty savings, plus flexible financing.
Most patients see results last about 3–4 months with Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®. Daxxify® can last longer for some patients. Results build over about 5–14 days after treatment.
No. Our board-certified dermatologists dose conservatively and precisely so you keep natural expression — smoother lines, still unmistakably you.
Most patients describe only a quick pinch. Treatment takes just a few minutes and requires no downtime.
They do opposite jobs. Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify® relax muscles to soften lines caused by expression (forehead, frown lines, crow's feet). Dermal fillers add volume to restore fullness or smooth static folds. Many patients benefit from a combination, which your dermatologist maps out at your consultation.
Yes. Started earlier, neuromodulators can slow the formation of deep expression lines by easing the repetitive muscle movement that etches them in. Your dermatologist can advise whether a light preventative approach makes sense for you.
Most visits take about 10–20 minutes, with no downtime. Many patients come in on a lunch break and return to their day immediately.
Yes. Neuromodulators are also used for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the underarms and palms, for jaw tension and clenching (masseter treatment), and for a subtle lip flip or softening of neck bands. We tailor the plan to your goals.
Stay upright for about four hours, skip strenuous exercise for the rest of the day, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas, and hold off on facials or heat treatments for 24 hours. These simple steps help the product settle exactly where it was placed.
Absolutely. Neuromodulators are one of the most popular treatments among our male patients — dosed to keep a natural, masculine brow and expression. Because men's facial muscles tend to be stronger, dosing is adjusted accordingly by your dermatologist.
Xeomin® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator like Botox®, but it's a purified 'naked' formulation with no added complexing proteins. Some patients prefer it for that reason, and it may lower the chance of developing resistance over time. We offer Botox®, Dysport®, Daxxify®, and Xeomin® so your dermatologist can match the product to you.
