ABOUT
WRINKLE RELAXATION
Neuromodulator treatments soften the muscle activity responsible for dynamic lines, relaxing them for a more youthful appearance while preserving natural movement.
They are not just reserved for the treatment of lines and can also be used to refine the lower face by softening chin dimpling, downturned corners of the mouth, or where appropriate for other indications.
Consultation required.
Wrinkle Relaxation
What to expect
A consultation is required prior to treatment. This includes a facial assessment, to determine a plan to best achieve your goals.
Administration of the toxin is with small, fine needles in various areas. This is typically with little to no discomfort.
A complimentary review, 2-3 weeks after your initial appointment is included, to assess the results and make any adjustments if required.
Discomfort
There is minimal discomfort as fine needles are used to inject a small amount of solution.
Downtime
There is minimal downtime and you a re typically able to return to your normal routine soon after treatment. There may be small bumps and redness where the solution has been injected, which usually settles in less than an hour.
We do advise to avoid manipulating the injected area for at least 4 hours after treatment.
Results
Final results are not seen until 2 weeks post treatment.
The effect of wrinkle relaxion is temporary. Typically, results last between 3-4 months, however depending on lifestyle factors - such as an active lifestyle - this may be shorter. You may notice a gradual increase in muscle activity after 7-8 weeks post treatment, as the toxin is broken down by the body.
