Wrinkle Relaxers

Las Vegas NV

Wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox, have transformed the facial rejuvenation market for those seeking wrinkle treatment without undergoing surgery. These products (known as neurotoxins) decrease the visual appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in areas on the face that show expression, such as the forehead and around the eyes. Once injected, the medication causes the underlying muscles to relax, which creates a smooth appearance on the surface. While each brand essentially does the same thing and produces a similar result, they work differently for different people. During the consultation, each product can be discussed so that the right one is chosen to meet your aesthetic goal.

What they treat

Forehead lines and wrinkles
Vertical frown lines between the brows (glabella)
Crow's feet
Medical issues such as excessive sweating (known as hypodryphosis)

What to expect

During this procedure, patients generally do not feel anything other than a small prick. Any discomfort is controlled with a cold compress. Immediately following a series of injections, there will be some mild swelling and redness at the injection sites. This will subside a few hours after the procedure. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately, but exercise should be avoided for a few hours. It is also recommended that patients keep their heads elevated for the first 8-10 hours. Results following a wrinkle relaxer treatment will not be immediate. Depending on the product used, the results will show themselves over the course of 2-10 days and can last up to 3-4 months. The result is skin that appears smooth with a significant decrease in wrinkles and lines.

Benefits of wrinkle relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, are effective treatments for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial muscle movements. These injectables work by temporarily relaxing the muscles beneath the skin, smoothing out dynamic wrinkles in areas like the forehead, crow's feet, and frown lines. One of the key benefits of wrinkle relaxers is that they offer a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime, making them a quick and convenient option for busy individuals.

What type of side effects do wrinkle relaxers have?

Wrinkle relaxers are generally safe, but like any cosmetic treatment, they can have some mild side effects. The most common include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Some people may experience mild headaches or a feeling of tightness in the treated area. Less commonly, there can be temporary eyelid drooping or asymmetry if the product spreads to unintended muscles. These side effects typically resolve on their own within a few days to a week, especially when the treatment is performed by a skilled injector. Serious complications are rare, making wrinkle relaxers a low-risk procedure for most individuals.

Am I a good candidate for Wrinkle Relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers are a great option for many individuals looking to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle movement, such as crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. You may be a good candidate if you're in good overall health, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic expectations for the results. Wrinkle relaxers are especially effective for those in their 30s to 60s who are starting to notice signs of aging, but they can also be used preventively by younger patients to maintain a smooth, youthful appearance.

However, wrinkle relaxers may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as neurological disorders, or those who have allergies to ingredients in the product. If you have active skin infections, rashes, or inflammation in the treatment area, it's best to wait until these conditions resolve. The best way to determine if wrinkle relaxers are right for you is to schedule a consultation with a skilled provider, who can assess your skin and help you decide the best approach for achieving your aesthetic goals.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Botox The Best Wrinkle Relaxer?

All of the wrinkle relaxer treatments on the market today serve a specific purpose, and each do it well depending on the patient and their precise needs. With that said, BOTOX continues to be the gold standard wrinkle relaxer treatment and leads the market with more than 6.1 million BOTOX injections given in 2012. It’s common for practitioners to use more than one product in a session. For example, some patients react better to BOTOX to treat forehead lines, and Dysport to treat Crow’s feet.

Is It Safe?

Each wrinkle relaxer treatment on the market today, including BOTOX, Dysport and Xeomin, are all FDA approved and have a record of safety and effectiveness. Individuals will react slightly different to each drug and an experienced injector professional will understand which one to recommend and why. Individuals who receive injections by someone inexperienced run the added risk of bruising, over medicating, and ultimately, obtaining an undesirable result.

Should I Try Relaxers Or Fillers?

Injectable fillers such as Juvederm help decrease wrinkles by adding volume under the skin. This helps to diminish fine lines and wrinkles on the surface, as well as add a plumper effect to hollow areas. A skilled practitioner will be able to determine if a filler material or a product like BOTOX would garner the best results. However, the latest rage today is the “liquid facelift”, which combines a blend of a filler and a relaxer, with other skin rejuvenation procedures, such as a chemical peel, to obtain beautiful results without having to undergo surgery.

What Is The Best Age To Get Wrinkle Relaxer Treatments?

Individuals who wish to soften and decrease facial lines and wrinkles may be candidates for a wrinkle relaxer treatment. The most common age to receive these types of injections is between 30-55 (and older). Some young adults, as early as in their late 20’s, will choose to receive treatment as a preventative measure versus a rejuvenation effort.

Are Wrinkle Relaxers Long Lasting?

Wrinkle relaxers are not a permanent fix. Results will last between 3-4 months. It is very common for patients to return for their treatments every 90 days, on schedule (with great excitement), so that they can continue to maintain their gorgeous results year-round.
