Wrinkle Relaxers
HOW WRINKLE RELAXERS WORK?
Wrinkle relaxers, known as BOTOX COSMETIC®, Nuceiva™, Xeomin, work by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where they are injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily paralyzed or frozen. Without movement of these selected muscles in the face, certain wrinkles may be softened, reduced, or even removed.
WHAT CAN WRINKLE RELAXERS CORRECT?
Wrinkle relaxers only work on wrinkles that are caused by muscle movement, often called “expression lines”. The most common wrinkles that Botox can treat are lines on the upper face, such as the “11” between the brows, horizontal lines on the forehead, and crow’s feet around the eyes. These lines are caused by smiling, frowning, squinting, and other facial expressions.
HOW LONG WRINKLE RELAXERS LAST?
HOW MANY UNITS WILL I NEED?
You will not see a change straight away. Thry take about 2 or 3 days to start working, and 2 to 3 weeks to see the full effect. Wrinkle relaxers are not a permanent treatment. Repeated treatments are necessary for continued wrinkle-reducing effects. Most people find that the effects last for about 3 or 4 months.
