Wrinkle Reducers
OVERVIEW
Reduce muscle activity that can cause skin damage, wrinkles, and resting lines
Wrinkle Reducers are plant-based proteins that work on the muscles to reduce the severity of muscle contractions that cause damage to your skin. Our most popular treatment, this is the go-to for preserving youthfulness and maintaining your inherent symmetry that starts to diminish with aging.

FACIAL MUSCLE ANATOMY
Understanding facial anatomy is essential to achieving natural, balanced results with wrinkle reducers. The muscles of the upper, mid, and lower face all play a role in expression, symmetry, and how signs of aging show over time.
At Ratio, we take an integrative approach informed by these anatomical relationships. This diagram offers an overview of key facial zones we assess during your Complete Assessment to guide precise, intentional use of wrinkle-reducing agents.
