What are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Our clinic can provide consultations on reducing the appearance of wrinkles – this is a cosmetic procedure that reduces the appearance of wrinkles/fine lines predominantly in the upper one third of the face (i.e. forehead, frown, crows feet wrinkles). This is a prescription only product, used to soften & reduce dynamic lines and wrinkles. When injected into a target muscle, it temporarily blocks the transmission signals from the nerve ending to the muscle, relaxing the muscle and therefore soften the appearance wrinkles.
Wrinkle Relaxers can be tailored to the individual so that lines are only softened, allowing natural movement to be maintained. Because the lines and wrinkles we treat with are often dynamic (i.e. caused by our facial expressions), with reduced muscle movement we can soften visible wrinkles to help you maintain a more youthful and balanced appearance.
What does the treatment Involve?
Treatment is relatively quick, it takes about 15minutes to perform (excluding consultation time). Wrinkle relaxers are injected into a few specific points (usually 4-10 injections per area) using a very fine needle. No local anaesthetic cream is needed. During the treatment- you will feel a few small pinpricks. The amount of product injected (units) will be determined based on personal preferences (i.e. desired outcome) & discussion with your doctor on the day.
What kinds of results can I expect?
As wrinkle relaxer treatment involve needles, it is common to have some redness and minor bruising around the injection site – this will subside. Other less common side effects will be explained and discussed with your treating doctor on the day (before your treatment). As there is minimal downtime, patients can usually resume normal activities on the day of treatment, although any vigorous activity or rubbing/touching over the injected areas should be avoided for at least four to six hours.
After your treatment, it will take a few days (on average 5-7 days) for you to start noticing the effect of the treatment working, and will take up to 2 weeks for it to take full effect. At Beau Aesthetics, we encourage all clients to return for their complimentary follow up appointment after 2 weeks.
The effects of wrinkle relaxer injections can last between 3-5 months*
- Tip: It is best to plan your injection at least 2 weeks before a big event
- Tip: To maintain the desired results – Consider a treatment (2-3 times per year) on a regular basis to maintain the improvement
