Wrinkle Relaxers are treatment options that can relax fine lines and wrinkles on your face. Wrinkles are formed due to decreased collagen levels in the skin as we grow older. Increased skin laxity is also common to mature skin, with some wrinkles forming as your age reaches the mid-30s. These wrinkle relaxers are an effective treatment option for treating fine lines and wrinkles. Treatment options such as wrinkle relaxers can generally be used to treat any area of your face, including horizontal lines on your forehead, vertical lines between your eyebrows, and specific nasolabial lines around your nose and mouth (also known as expression lines). 

Here are some treatment options available for you:

Botox is one of the most well-known and reputable wrinkle relaxers around the world. It is a versatile injectable treatment used to treat the signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and smile lines. Botox injections are concentrated in the area where it’s injected. 

Xeomin is a specialized wrinkle relaxing treatment that gives a concentrated dose of neurotoxin to the area that needs to be treated. 

Daxxify was developed by the manufacturer Revance Therapeutics. Many extensive studies have shown the drug can temporarily improve “moderate to severe frown lines” in adults for a median duration of six to nine months, which is up to two to four months longer than the period generally provided by Botox.

Yes, these wrinkle relaxing treatments are generally safe for most patients. The reason for this is the purification of the neurotoxins, which are carefully injected by your licensed professional. 

Results coming from wrinkle relaxers can typically be visible within 1 to 3 days after having the treatment. The results will include smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles on the face and the relaxation of the muscles in the face, which helps improve your overall look. 

Although Botox can both last for up to 4 months, Daxxify can last for up to 6 months. The results may last longer if you add cosmetic treatments (like dermal fillers) to your wrinkle relaxing treatment.

Many patients choose to have a follow-up treatment when the result of the first injection starts to fade. This means that you’ll be having regular wrinkle relaxing treatments 3 to 4 times a year. Your frequency depends on how well you react to the treatment and the product that you used. You may also need to alternate between multiple products, so avoid using one specific product.

Yes, you need to have a consultation with your provider before having the wrinkle relaxing treatment. Your consultation will help your provider determine what your concern is and what specific type of wrinkle do you have. Your provider will also ask you some important information about yourself, such as if you have any allergy to drugs or if you had previous wrinkle treatments in the past. You may also be asked about your skincare routine and the skincare products that you use.

Any person who likes to get rid of their fine lines and wrinkles is a good candidate for this wrinkle relaxing treatment, especially the ones with:

• Mild, moderate, or severe wrinkles
• Fine lines
• Crow’s feet
• Laugh lines
• Frown lines
• Glabellar lines
• Wrinkles around the nose and mouth

There are many reasons to consider having wrinkle relaxing treatments. Injections of these wrinkle relaxers are quick and easy, and there is no downtime after having the treatment. Also, injections from these wrinkle relaxing treatments are so accurate to avoid affecting the surrounding area. These wrinkle relaxers can treat most of the common signs of aging and keep you look young with just 3 to 4 treatments a year.
