About Wrinkle Relaxers
WHAT IT IS
Wrinkle Relaxers have been used medically and aesthetically for decades. It’s a safe and highly effective treatment that smoothens fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments include Botox®, Dysport®, Daxxify® and Jeuveau®. All products give the skin a smooth, refreshed appearance that looks natural and glowy.
HOW IT WORKS
Wrinkle Relaxers precisely target the muscle activity that causes wrinkles and frown lines by blocking the nerve signals that initiate muscle movement. This action allows wrinkles to soften and prevents new wrinkles from forming, leading to a more youthful appearance. These medications can also be used to treat excessive sweating, teeth grinding and migraines.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The treatment can typically be completed with a few tiny injections in less than 30 minutes. Noticeable results are generally observed 5-7 days after treatment, with full results visible 14 days post-treatment.
