How do wrinkle relaxers work?
The mechanism behind wrinkle relaxers involves blocking nerve impulses to specific muscles, which subsequently diminishes muscle activity responsible for the development of moderate to severe lines. In addition to this, wrinkle relaxers can be skill-fully utilized to restore facial balance and symmetry, counteracting the downward pull of certain muscles on the face and neck that might cause an appearance of sadness, anger, or fatigue. To achieve a revitalized and youthful look, we often adopt a meticulous technique of applying minimal amounts of wrinkle relaxer across various facial muscles, delivering an overall rejuvenating effect.
Can wrinkle relaxers prevent wrinkles?
Wrinkle relaxers not only work effectively in reducing the appearance of existing dynamic lines, but they also act as a preventive measure against the formation of new ones. However, it is important to ensure that you are in a fit and well state before considering the treatment. If you are feeling unwell or have recently experienced an illness, such as the flu, we recommend postponing the procedure.
What is the recommended frequency for wrinkle relaxers?
We suggest receiving treatment every 4-6 months. Studies indicate that the effects of the treatment typically last around 3-4 months, although some individuals might find that they can wait until 5-6 months after their initial session before returning. It is essential to prevent the deepest lines from reappearing on the skin. However, it's important to note that your results may vary during the 3-4 month period. It is common to experience an increase in muscle activity at around 6-8 weeks post-treatment. A helpful indicator for scheduling your next visit is not just based on when you notice an increase in muscle movement, but also when you start to observe the lines reappearing on the skin while your face is at rest."

Initial results typically become apparent after 1 week, but the final outcome may take up to 2 weeks following the treatment. At this point, we encourage new clients to return to our clinic for a complimentary review, allowing us to assess the results and make any necessary adjustments.
