What are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Do you have an alarming amount of fine lines and creases forming on your forehead and by your eyes? Also called dynamic lines, these skin changes occur due to repetitive facial expressions and tend to stick around as you age due to a natural loss of skin elasticity. Excel Medicine offers BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® wrinkle relaxers to temporarily minimize moderate to severe frown lines, horizontal forehead lines, and Crow’s feet. These injectable wrinkle relaxers are derived from the botulinum toxin type A and work by relaxing the facial muscles, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out over time. For more information, schedule a consultation with Dr. Shail Singh or a member of his team who have treated thousands of people to enhance their confidence and look youthful with the help of these products.
What Are the Benefits?
Lines and creases on your brow and between the eyes may make you look more aged than you truly are. Injectable neurotoxins are used to reduce the appearance of such issues by temporarily preventing your capacity to change facial movements. A wrinkle relaxer injection at Excel Medicine offers additional advantages for patients, including:
- Addressing brow wrinkles, Crow’s feet, and frown lines around the eyes
- Creating a more refreshed look
- Temporarily preventing potential wrinkles
- Simple, surgery-free option
- No downtime necessary following the appointment
- Results look natural and can last for up to 3 – 4 months
Who Is a Good Candidate for Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxer treatments are ideal for those who are seeking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases high up on the face without experiencing a surgical procedure. In some cases, wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX®, are sought by younger individuals (including individuals in their 20s) who hope to fend off signals of aging entirely. Dr. Singh will highlight the specifics of every selection and help you determine the option that is best for your needs. If you have deep-set lines, a dermal filler could be used to complement your injections.
How Do Wrinkle Relaxers Work?
At your first treatment consultation at Excel Medicine, one of our providers will go over your cosmetic goals. We will also provide a facial assessment to help determine which areas should receive treatment and to choose the best product that will give you the results you’re looking for. Given that wrinkle relaxers are generally a quick service, your injections can usually be administered at the same appointment. Depending on which injectable neurotoxin you are receiving, BOTOX, Dysport, or Jeuveau will be injected into the designated areas of your face and neck using a fine-gauge needle. Each treatment takes a few minutes to complete, and most people notice only minor discomfort. After your session, you are free to leave our office and carry on with your day.
What to Expect After Wrinkle Relaxers
Following your wrinkle relaxer injections, you can resume your day-to-day routine; however, it’s a good idea to avoid heavy workouts for no less than a day. You will want to be careful about handling your face for the first few days, as this may accidentally distribute the injectable to different places. The injection areas may become pink, raw, or bruised, but this should subside within a couple of days. Depending on the formula we used, your results might take a few days to finalize. Many people experience outcomes that persist for up to four months, but the precise length of your outcomes could depend on the type and quantity of relaxer used. Before you leave, we will give you thorough aftercare recommendations and speak about when to arrange further injections.
