Smooth Away Fine Lines and Wrinkles
What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers are a type of botulinum toxin injection, commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. These wrinkles often form on the forehead, between the eyebrows (frown lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet) due to facial movements over time. By temporarily blocking the signals between the muscles and nerves, wrinkle relaxers prevent the muscles from contracting, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out naturally.
While the results are not permanent, they can last for several months, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance without the need for surgery.
How Do Wrinkle Relaxers Work?
During your consultation at Rêve Dermatology and Aesthetics, we’ll perform a facial analysis to identify the areas that will benefit from treatment. Once the areas are selected, a small syringe is used to inject the wrinkle relaxer formula into the designated muscles. The procedure is quick, often taking just 10 minutes, and most patients experience only mild discomfort, similar to a pinching sensation.
Because wrinkle relaxers are non-surgical, you can typically resume your normal activities immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
What to Expect After Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment
After the procedure, you may notice some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects are typically short-lived and resolve within a day or so. We may recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity for 24 hours and refraining from touching or massaging the treated areas to ensure the best results.
Within 48 to 72 hours, you’ll begin to see the effects of the wrinkle relaxers, with smoother, firmer skin that lasts for up to four months. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled as part of a personalized plan to help you maintain your youthful appearance.
