Your Consultation Is Where It All Starts

Before any treatment is discussed, your doctor sits down with you. Not a coordinator, not a patient intake manager. Your doctor.

Your doctor will begin by taking the time to understand what brought you in and what you are hoping to achieve. From there they will perform a comprehensive facial assessment, evaluating your unique anatomy, facial profile, skin condition, and movement patterns. They will share their findings, walk you through what they are seeing, and make sure you leave with a clear understanding of your options. This is not a formality. It is the foundation of everything that follows, because a plan that is right for someone else may not be right for you. We do not rush this part.

From there we walk you through your options honestly, discuss what we believe is appropriate, and build a personalized plan around your goals. We only recommend what we genuinely believe in, and we hold ourselves to the same standard we would expect for our own family.

You will leave with clarity, a plan you feel confident in, and every question answered. Whether you proceed with a treatment that day or not, you will leave informed.

BEFORE & AFTER

Every Result Has a Story

Before and after IPL laser treatment results at PI Aesthetics Medical Spa in Mill Creek, WA.

Treatment type: Laser Treatment for Pigmentation

Patient Concern: Pigmented sun-spots and freckling had become increasingly noticeable over time. She loved being outdoors but had grown self-conscious about the unevenness in her complexion and wanted to address it without significant downtime.

Treatment Plan: We designed a personalized series of non-ablative laser treatments targeting the pigmentation responsible for her uneven tone. The series approach allowed us to achieve progressive, controlled improvement while keeping her recovery minimal.

Results: The results exceeded what she had hoped for. Her complexion is now significantly more even, with the dark spots and freckling that had bothered her for years now resolved.

Overview

Most people who come to us for wrinkle relaxers are not looking for a dramatic transformation. They want to look like themselves, just without the fatigue and tension that has quietly accumulated over time. What they want most is to feel confident and look their best, in a way that leaves people noticing something is different but unable to quite put their finger on why.

That is exactly the outcome we design for. At PI Aesthetics, every treatment is planned around your specific anatomy, your facial movement, and what makes you look like you. Our aesthetic-trained doctors bring both clinical precision and artistic judgment to every consultation, because knowing where to treat is only half of the work. Knowing how much, and when to stop, is what separates a result you love from one you don’t.

Wrinkle relaxers can also address TMJ-related jaw tension, teeth grinding, and chronic jaw discomfort by calming the muscles responsible for those patterns. If that is part of your picture, it is worth bringing up during your consultation.

My first time going to Medspa of any sorts, and I had the best time. Everyone is so attentive and friendly, and was not intimidated at all. I got laser done on my face for my freckles and pigmentation, and my skin has never felt better. I highly recommend this place!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience at PI Aesthetic Med Spa! From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. The team is so knowledgeable and took the time to really listen to what I wanted.

My Botox and filler results are absolutely beautiful subtle, refreshed, and still completely me. They enhanced my features without ever looking overdone. I've never felt this confident in my skin. Every time I look in the mirror, I just feel so good. They're also helping with my hyper pigmentation and skin care with options I never knew existed, despite having been to several dermatologists previously.

If you're considering Botox, filler, or just enhancing your skin care, this is the place to go. Professional, talented, and truly an amazing experience from start to finish. I'm beyond happy with my results!!

Treatment type: Wrinkle relaxers for Forehead, between the brows (11's) and Crows Feet


Patient Concerns: She was getting enough sleep but her face was not showing it. The tension in her upper face made her look more tired and serious than she actually felt, and her  expressions were not reflecting how she wanted to come across.


Treatment Plan: We designed a personalized plan to relax the upper face and around the eyes just enough to soften that tension while keeping her expressions natural.


Results: She loves her results. She looks and feels more rested. People close to her noticed something was different and told her she looked great, but could not quite put their finger on why. That is exactly the outcome we design for.

Treatment: Wrinkle relaxers for crow's feet.


Patient Concern: The lines around her eyes had deepened over time to the
point where they were the first thing she noticed in the mirror, making her look more tired and older than she actually felt on the inside. What bothered her most was that the tension around her eyes had gradually changed their shape, softening an almond shape she had always loved and that felt like a defining part of her face.


Treatment Plan: We focused treatment precisely around the outer eye area,
softening the muscles responsible for those deeper lines and that inward tension. Bringing her outside into alignment with how she feels inside, and to restore something she had quietly missed.


Results: The lines softened, the tension released, and the shape of her eyes came back in a way that felt completely natural. She looked rested. She finally felt like her face and eyes was matching the person she knew herself to be.

Treatment: Wrinkle relaxers for the forehead and between the eyebrows (11's)


Patient Concern: She had noticed gradual changes in her face over time, but it was hearing from people close to her that she looked tired or seemed to be aging quickly that finally brought her in. Her face was not reflecting how she actually felt.


Treatment Plan: We focused on the forehead and the area between the brows, where years of expression and tension had created lines that were reading as tiredness. We designed a plan to soften that tension precisely while preserving her natural expressiveness.


Results: The lines softened, the heaviness between her brows lifted, and her face came back into alignment with how she actually felt. The comments from people close to her shifted too. Instead of asking if she was tired, they told her she looked great. She left feeling like the outside had finally caught up with the inside.

What our doctors have to say about wrinkle relaxers

"Neuromodulators, also known as wrinkle relaxers, are one of my favorite treatments. The results require a higher degree of artistry than most people realize. There are plenty of standard approaches out there, but the best results come when your doctor has the experience and knowledge to adjust the treatment to your individual muscles and anatomy, creating something that is truly tailored to you. The difference it makes in appearance is remarkable, especially over time."

– Federico Fenton MD

"Wrinkle relaxers truly make a difference, and not just in how people look. When those lines soften and that tension releases, something shifts. Patients carry themselves differently, feel more at ease, and show up to their day with a quiet confidence they had been missing. My favorite moments are when patients come back and tell me that people close to them have been asking if they went on vacation or are getting more rest, or commenting that they look great but cannot quite put their finger on why. That is exactly what we are going for. It is our little secret."

– Thoa Fenton DNP

FAQs

  • Wrinkle relaxers, also known as neuromodulators, are injectable treatments that work by gently relaxing targeted facial muscles to soften fine lines and wrinkles while preserving your natural expression. At PI Aesthetics, we carry multiple brands to ensure we select the right product for your specific goals and anatomy.

  • For many first-time patients, the biggest hesitation is seeing frozen or expressionless results in others and worrying that the same could happen to them. At PI Aesthetics, natural-looking results are not just a goal, they are our standard. 

  • Results typically last between 3 and 4 months, though this varies depending on the areas treated, the product used, and individual factors such as muscle activity and metabolism. Around week 6 you will gradually begin to notice movement returning, with full baseline muscle activity resuming by the end of the cycle.

  • The most commonly treated areas are the forehead, the lines between the brows, and crow's feet. Wrinkle relaxers can also be used to treat jaw tension and teeth grinding by calming overactive chewing muscles, as well as other areas, depending on your goals. Your doctor will assess which areas are appropriate for you during your consultation

  • Cost depends on the areas treated and the amount of product required. Wrinkle relaxer treatments at PI Aesthetics typically start at $400 per session. During your consultation, we will assess the amount needed and provide you with an accurate price.

  • Like all medical treatments, neuromodulators carry known risks. We address these thoroughly during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision. Our team is specifically trained to manage possible complications, and we approach every treatment with a high degree of clinical care and thoughtfulness.

  • In the days before your treatment, we recommend avoiding alcohol and, if medically able, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and other medications that can increase bleeding.

  • There is no expected downtime. Some mild redness or tenderness at the injection sites is normal and typically resolves quickly. 

  • Results typically begin to appear within 3 to 5 days and continue to develop over the following two weeks, by which time the full effect can be appreciated. We schedule your follow-up appointment after that point to assess your results once they have fully settled.

Whats included

  • Comprehensive consultation with an aesthetic-trained doctor

  • Personalized treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and goals

  • Treatment on the same visit if appropriate

  • Follow-up appointment to assess results

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What pigmentation concerns can be treated?

IPL and laser treatments are effective for a range of pigmentation concerns, including sun-damaged skin, sunspots, freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and other pigmentation disorders. Melasma can also be treated, though it requires particularly thoughtful consideration as it responds differently from other pigmentation concerns, and outcomes can vary. Your doctor will assess your specific pigmentation and recommend the most appropriate treatment during your consultation.

What is IPL and how does it differ from laser?

IPL, or intense pulsed light, uses a broad spectrum of light wavelengths to target pigmentation and other skin concerns. Unlike lasers, which concentrate a single wavelength of light, IPL delivers a range of wavelengths simultaneously. Both IPL and laser are effective for pigmentation, and your doctor will determine which is best suited to your specific skin type and concerns.

Can you treat tattoos?

We do offer laser tattoo removal, though our primary focus is treating skin pigmentation concerns. Not all tattoos are suitable candidates for laser treatment, as factors such as ink color, depth, and skin type all affect outcomes. An in person assessment is required to determine whether your tattoo can be effectively treated. Please reach out to schedule a consultation and we will give you an honest evaluation.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on the type and severity of your pigmentation concern, as well as the treatment being used. Some concerns respond well in a small number of sessions while others require a longer series. Your doctor will recommend a personalized plan during your consultation.

What is the cost?

Cost depends on the type of treatment, the area being treated, and the number of sessions recommended. Because of the broad range of sessions needed between different types of pigmentation, only an in person evaluation can provide an accurate cost estimate.

Am I a good candidate for IPL and laser pigmentation treatments?

Patients with darker skin tones and certain medical conditions require careful assessment, as certain treatments carry a higher risk of pigment changes in those with more melanin. Your doctor will evaluate your skin type and pigmentation during your consultation and recommend the safest and most effective approach for you.

What should I avoid before my treatment?

In the weeks before your treatment, we recommend avoiding sun exposure and tanning, as recent sun exposure increases the risk of complications. Certain medications and skincare ingredients may also need to be paused prior to treatment. Your doctor will provide specific preparation instructions tailored to your treatment plan during your consultation.

What should I expect after treatment and is there any downtime?

Most patients experience mild redness and some darkening of the treated pigmentation immediately after treatment, which is a normal part of the process. The darkened spots typically flake off over the following days to weeks, revealing clearer skin underneath. Downtime is generally minimal, though this can vary depending on the intensity of treatment. Your doctor will give you a clear picture of what to expect based on your specific treatment plan.

When will I see my results?

Some improvement is visible within one to two weeks as treated pigmentation sheds from the skin. More significant and lasting results develop over the following weeks and months as the skin continues to heal and renew. Multiple sessions are typically needed for optimal results, and your doctor will set realistic expectations during your consultation.

"IPL is one of the most versatile tools in aesthetic medicine. What I appreciate most is its ability to address multiple concerns simultaneously, evening out skin tone, reducing pigmentation, and improving overall skin clarity in a single treatment. What many people do not realize is how much the outcome depends on the provider taking the time to thoughtfully adjust the parameters to each individual patient. IPL done well requires real expertise and careful calibration”

- Federico Fenton, MD

Provider & Co-Founder

"What I love about IPL is that it targets exactly what bothers patients most, the spots, the redness, the unevenness. Watching pigmentation and redness fade away and seeing even, clear skin emerge underneath never gets old."

What our doctors have to say about wrinkle relaxers

Overview

Skin that looks uneven, spotted, or dull has a way of making you look more tired and older than you actually are, even when everything else about how you look and feel tells a different story. For many patients it is not one dramatic concern but an accumulation of small things, a sunspot here, uneven tone there, an overall lack of the clarity and brightness their skin used to have. IPL and laser treatments are among the most effective tools available for addressing exactly that.


At PI Aesthetics we use both IPL and targeted laser technology to treat sunspots, uneven skin tone, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and overall skin clarity. Both approaches work by delivering precise light energy into the skin to target and break down unwanted pigmentation, allowing it to shed naturally and reveal clearer skin underneath. The right choice between them depends on your specific skin type, pigmentation concern, and goals, and that is a decision your doctor will guide during your consultation. What matters is that both are performed with the same standard of clinical care and the same commitment to results that are genuinely worth it.


As with all our laser treatments, the quality of your outcome depends as much on the expertise setting the parameters as it does on the technology itself. Every protocol at PI Aesthetics is established by our aesthetic trained doctors and calibrated specifically to your skin. We do not guess. We assess, we plan, and we treat with precision.


We also treat pigmentation concerns beyond the face, including underarm and intimate area pigmentation for the right candidates. And for patients interested in tattoo removal, we offer laser tattoo removal as well, though we recommend an in person assessment to determine whether your specific tattoo is a good candidate for treatment.
