Fine lines and deeper wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them if you don’t want to. Many Baton Rouge residents wonder if there’s a way to achieve smoother, younger-looking skin without the risks, expense, or downtime of cosmetic surgery.
Good news: There absolutely is. At the Aesthetic Medicine Clinic of Baton Rouge, Dr. Gray Barrow offers trusted, physician-administered solutions to help you smooth facial lines without surgery, safely, naturally, and comfortably.
Why Do Facial Lines Form?
To understand how to smooth them, it helps to know why they appear. Some lines are caused by years of sun exposure and a natural loss of skin elasticity. Others, called dynamic wrinkles, come from repeated facial movements like frowning, squinting, or smiling.
When you frown or squint, the tiny muscles under your skin contract, eventually creating lines that stay put even when your face is at rest. This is why lines, forehead creases, frown and crow’s feet are some of the first signs of aging people want to soften.
Non-Surgical Options for Smoother Skin
When creams and serums aren’t enough, non-surgical cosmetic injections can help. Products like Xeomin® and Botox® work by gently relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. The result? Smoother skin that still moves naturally, no frozen or “worked on” look.
How Xeomin® Works
Xeomin® is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, allowing the overlying skin to relax and smooth out. Patients love Xeomin® because it’s simple and clean, it contains no added proteins or unnecessary ingredients, just what’s needed to help you look refreshed and natural.
At our Baton Rouge clinic, smoothing facial lines without surgery means your Xeomin® treatment is always performed by Dr. Barrow himself. Many patients appreciate knowing they’re in the hands of a physician with over 30 years of injection experience.
What Areas Can Be Smoothed Without Surgery?
Neuromodulators like Xeomin® are ideal for softening:
Frown lines between the eyebrows
Forehead lines and creases
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Subtle drooping brows that could benefit from a gentle lift
With the right approach, you can look well-rested and more youthful without changing what makes you uniquely you.
Benefits of Physician-Administered Injections
Choosing a board-certified physician for your cosmetic injections makes all the difference. Dr. Barrow’s medical training means he understands facial anatomy, muscle movement, and the art of subtle enhancement.
Patients often worry about looking “frozen” or unnatural, but when your treatment is done by an experienced physician, the results are beautifully subtle. You’ll still be able to express yourself, just without the deep lines that make you look tired or stressed.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
At the Aesthetic Medicine Clinic of Baton Rouge, your visit starts with a detailed consultation. Dr. Barrow will listen to your concerns, study your natural facial movement, and explain which areas can benefit most from smoothing injections.
Most treatments take about 15–30 minutes and involve only a few tiny injections with a fine needle. There’s little to no downtime, most patients go straight back to work or their day.
You’ll see initial smoothing in about 5–7 days, with full results at around two weeks. Most people enjoy their refreshed look for about three to four months before returning for a quick touch-up.
Why Not Just Get Surgery?
Surgical options like facelifts can deliver dramatic results, but they come with higher costs, risks, and significant downtime. For many people, subtle cosmetic injections offer the perfect balance , real, noticeable results without having to take weeks off work or undergo anesthesia.
Plus, you stay in control of your look. Adjustments can be made gradually and naturally, keeping you looking like yourself at every age.
When to Start Smoothing Lines
There’s no “perfect age” to start wrinkle relaxers, it’s about your goals and your skin’s needs. Some patients start in their late 20s or early 30s to prevent lines from becoming deeper. Others wait until lines have formed and want a more rested, youthful appearance.
Dr. Barrow works with you to design a plan that feels right for where you are now, and where you want to be in the future.
