What is a wrinkle relaxer treatment?
How does the wrinkle relaxer treatment work?
Administration of a wrinkle relaxer will block messages from the nerves to the treated muscle. This lack of communication will cause the treated muscle to no longer contract or slow down its movement. Lack of muscle movement under the skin will make the wrinkles relax and soften, creating a smoother, rejuvenated and more youthful appearance.

An anti-wrinkle treatment has both cosmetic and non-cosmetic indications. The treatment has been used for many years and has an excellent safety profile.

Wrinkle Relaxer FAQs
What results can be expected from the wrinkle relaxer treatment?
Results will vary amongst individuals due to individual muscle size and strength as well as the desired effect. Facial lines will soften, although they may not disappear, depending on the depth of the crease. Repeated treatments at regular intervals will improve results. By softening facial lines and contours you may appear more refreshed and less tired. People often report following a treatment friends and family have commented on how well they look but have been unable to specify the exact change.
Will facial expression be affected?
The wrinkle relaxer treatment works specifically on the muscle being treated. This allows unwanted or undesirable facial movements to be softened while untreated muscles continue to allow normal facial movement and expression. Very subtle and natural looking results can be achieved with careful dosing and thorough consultation.
When can I see results and how long will they last?
Results are not instant, they will evolve. Results to the upper face evolve within 7-14 days and can take longer to take effect in some areas of the lower face. For most people, the effect will last 3-4 months before lines slowly begin to return. If you have repeat treatments, the effect may last longer. Longevity of results may also be related to the dose that you have received and will be discussed at your consultation.
Are there any possible complications or side effects?
Side effects are uncommon and if experienced, temporary. Possible side effects include headaches, pain, bruising, redness or swelling at the injection site. Very rarely, local muscle weakness has been reported when treating the frown or forehead area, causing temporary drooping of the eyelid.
What is the cost of treatment?
The cost of treatment will depend on the dose that you require to achieve your desired effect. The required dose will vary according to the strength of the muscle being treated and this differs between individuals and facial areas.
