Wrinkle Relaxers
Wrinkle relaxers temporarily relax the muscles of the face that contract and cause wrinkles. These neurotoxins work by preventing the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction therefore blocking the signal that causes muscle contraction.
Everyone responds differently to neurotoxins but typically the results are visible 5-7 days after treatment and continue to improve and take full effect at 2 weeks, typically lasting 3-4 months.
Most common areas to inject Neurotoxin include forehead lines, ’11” lines between the brows, and “crow’s feet” are the lines around the eyes.
Other areas that can be injected are vertical lines above the lip also known as “lip flip”, chin dimples, and axilla (for hyperhidrosis), platysma bands on your neck, gummy smile release, and masseter muscle (for Bruxism and facial slimming).
