What Is a Treatment Like?
Both our non-surgical treatments are quick and require virtually no downtime. They allow patients to rediscover the joys of smooth skin without creating interruptions in their daily lives. For both modalities, treatment sessions tend to take only about 30 minutes yet can produce long-lasting results. Both treatment options are painless, as we apply a light numbing cream ahead of time to ensure comfort. After your treatment, you can return to your daily routine immediately in many cases.

The Science Behind the Smoothing
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all prescription neuromodulators derived from a purified protein that temporarily interrupts the nerve signals responsible for muscle contraction. Each product works through the same fundamental mechanism, though they differ in formulation, onset time, and the way they spread within tissue. This is why the choice of product matters, and why the expertise of the injector matters even more.
When Dr. Ourian injects a neuromodulator into a targeted muscle, that muscle relaxes. The overlying skin, no longer pulled by repeated contractions, begins to smooth. For patients seeking non-surgical forehead smoothing or relief from persistent frown lines injection sites are chosen with precision based on anatomy, movement patterns, and the patient's individual goals. The treatment does not change how you look. It changes what accumulates over time.
The distinction between Dysport and other cosmetic injections comes down to molecular weight and diffusion. Dysport tends to spread slightly more and may act faster, making it a preferred choice for larger surface areas. Xeomin is formulated without accessory proteins, which some patients find beneficial for long-term use. Dr. Ourian discusses these differences openly during consultation so every patient understands what they are receiving and why.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate
The right candidate for neuromodulator treatment is not defined by age. Patients in their late twenties and early thirties increasingly seek preventive wrinkle injections as a proactive measure, before lines become etched into resting skin. Patients in their forties, fifties, and beyond use these treatments to soften existing lines and maintain a youthful, energized appearance. The common thread is not a number. It is a desire to look like a well-rested version of yourself.
Ideal candidates are in generally good health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic expectations about what neuromodulators accomplish. These treatments address muscle-driven lines. They are not a solution for skin laxity or deep folds caused by volume loss. During a consultation with Dr. Ourian, patients receive an honest, thorough assessment of which treatments will genuinely serve their goals, and which ones will not.
Patients who have previously experienced the overdone, immobile look associated with poor injection technique are often hesitant to return to neuromodulators. Dr. Simon Ourian specializes in recalibrating that experience. His approach prioritizes preserved movement and facial harmony above all else.
What to Expect During and After Your Appointment
A treatment session typically takes between ten and fifteen minutes. Dr. Ourian uses ultra-fine needles to deliver precise amounts of the chosen neuromodulator into specific muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. No anesthesia or numbing cream is required for the majority of cases, and there is no recovery period in the traditional sense.
Patients return to their regular activities immediately following treatment. The team at Epione Beverly Hills advises avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and lying flat for the first few hours after injections. Minor redness or swelling at the injection sites may occur and typically resolve within the day. Bruising is possible, though uncommon with Dr. Ourian's technique.
Follow-up is part of the process. For first-time patients in particular, a brief check-in at two weeks allows Dr. Ourian to assess the result and make any minor adjustments if needed. This commitment to follow-through is a reflection of the standard of care the experts at Epione Beverly Hills hold themselves to, and it is part of what makes the patient experience feel genuinely personal.
Results You Will Notice, and Others Will Not
Results from Botox and Dysport typically appear within three to five days, with the full effect visible by two weeks. Xeomin follows a similar timeline. Most patients enjoy their results for three to four months before a maintenance treatment is recommended. With consistent treatment over time, some patients find they require less product to achieve the same effect, as the targeted muscles gradually become conditioned to reduced activity.
The goal of every session is natural wrinkle relaxer results. The smooth elevens without surgery outcome that patients describe is not about eliminating all traces of expression. It is about restoring a softness to the face that feels authentic. Crow's feet injection treatment, for example, should leave a patient looking refreshed after a long night of sleep rather than surgically altered. That balance is the standard at Epione.

Why Patients Choose Dr. Ourian
Skill with neuromodulators is not universal. The same product, in the hands of different practitioners, produces vastly different outcomes. Dr. Ourian is recognized globally as among the best fine line injectors in aesthetic medicine, not because of volume or celebrity association, but because of the consistency and artistry of his results. His patients range from executives and entertainers to individuals who simply want to age on their own terms.
What distinguishes the approach at Epione Beverly Hills is the combination of medical precision and aesthetic judgment. Dr. Ourian does not work from a standard dosing chart. He works from observation, from years of understanding how faces move, age, and respond. Every treatment plan is built for the individual in front of him. Patients leave not looking like they had something done. They leave looking like themselves, only better.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, and how do I know which one is right for me?
All three are neurotoxin wrinkle injections that work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, but each has its own character. Botox is the gold standard with decades of proven results. Dysport spreads a little more and tends to take effect slightly faster, making it a strong choice for broader treatment areas. Xeomin is additive-free, which some patients prefer. Dr. Simon Ourian evaluates your facial anatomy, muscle activity, and aesthetic goals before recommending the formula that will serve you best.
Can starting injections early actually prevent wrinkles from forming?
Yes, and it is one of the smartest investments you can make in your skin. Preventive wrinkle injections work by softening repetitive muscle contractions before they have the chance to etch permanent lines into the skin. Patients who begin in their late twenties or early thirties consistently need fewer corrective treatments later on. The team at Epione Beverly Hills will help you design a schedule that keeps your skin ahead of the aging curve.
Will I still look like myself after treatment?
Absolutely. Natural wrinkle relaxer results are the standard at Epione, not the exception. Dr. Ourian uses precise dosing and strategic placement so that movement and expression are preserved while lines are visibly softened. The goal is never a frozen or overdone appearance. It is to make you look like a well-rested, refreshed version of yourself.
How are crow's feet treated differently than forehead lines or frown lines?
Each area of the face has its own muscle structure and movement pattern, so treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Crow's feet injection treatment calls for smaller, carefully placed doses because the skin around the eyes is thinner and more reactive. Non-surgical forehead smoothing typically covers a broader surface area and requires a different injection pattern to address both horizontal lines and the vertical frown lines between the brows. Dr. Simon Ourian maps each zone individually to ensure balance and proportion across your entire face.
How long do results last, and how often will I need to come in?
Most patients enjoy their wrinkle relaxer treatment results for three to four months. Individual factors like metabolism, muscle strength, and activity level can influence exactly how long effects last for you. Many patients at Epione Beverly Hills schedule maintenance appointments roughly every twelve weeks to keep results looking seamless and consistent. Over time, some patients find they can space appointments further apart as the muscles gradually become less active.
Is there any downtime, and what should I avoid right after treatment?
There is no meaningful downtime. Minor redness or pinpoint sensitivity at the injection sites typically resolves within an hour, and most patients head straight back to their day. The experts at Epione recommend skipping intense exercise, saunas, and lying flat for about four hours post-treatment to help the product settle exactly where it was placed. Results develop gradually over the following week, which is part of what makes them look so natural.
