What is a wrinkle relaxer? A wrinkle relaxer is an injection that smooths out wrinkles by relaxing the muscle that causes them. Common wrinkle relaxers include Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport. Wrinkle relaxers can treat a variety of areas including, the frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, gummy smiles, lip lines, necklines, the masseter muscle for teeth grinding, and more!
Treatment
The treatment is simple and only takes about 15-20 minutes; it consists of just a few injections that relax the muscles in the face which contract repeatedly and cause visible lines to form over time. Wrinkle Relaxers are a great treatment for both men and women. Some clients may experience slight discomfort, but any discomfort is minimal and brief, and there are generally no major side effects, (some clients, however, may experience slight and temporary bruising at the injection site, but this can be covered up by makeup). To reduce your chances of bruising, please see our Bruising Protocol Sheet, text, call or email us for a copy of our bruising protocol.
Recovery
Wrinkle relaxers are a no downtime treatment. You’ll walk out of the office looking like you had nothing done. Patients will start to see great improvements in their skin’s appearance within 7 to 14 days. The results vary per patient and will typically last for 3 to 6 months.
