Wrinkle relaxers are noninvasive injectable treatments designed to address fine lines and wrinkles.
What Is It?
Wrinkle relaxers (Botox®, Xeomin®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau®) are noninvasive injectable treatments that address fine lines and wrinkles resulting from frequent muscle contractions. Utilizing a specialized strain of botulinum toxin type A, wrinkle relaxers temporarily inhibit facial muscle contractions, diminishing signs of aging such as forehead creases, Crow's feet around the eyes, and "11" lines between the eyebrows.
Benefits:
- Diminishes forehead wrinkles, Crow's feet, and frown lines around the eyes, providing a more rested appearance.
- Temporarily prevents potential creases, delivering natural-looking outcomes lasting up to 3 to 4 months.
- Simple, noninvasive technique with minimal downtime.
How Is It Done?
During a comprehensive examination, your provider will determine the most suitable wrinkle relaxer treatment for your unique aesthetic goals. These treatments are conveniently performed in-office, allowing them to be seamlessly integrated into your initial visit. The process begins with cleansing your skin, marking the treatment areas, and using a thin syringe for injection delivery. Typically, it takes about 10 – 15 minutes, allowing you to resume your regular activities afterward.
What To Expect:
Patients may experience mild discomfort or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. Results become noticeable within a few days to a week, with full effects appearing within two weeks.
Is It Safe?
Wrinkle relaxer injections are generally safe when administered by trained professionals. Potential risks are minimal and may include mild discomfort or bruising at the injection site.
