CAN TREAT
WRINKLE RELAXERS
Wrinkle relaxation treatments provide a non-invasive method to diminish wrinkles and soften expression lines. By calming the facial muscles, these treatments reduce frown lines, resulting in smoother skin and increased confidence.
Our Aesthetic Physician and Registered Nurse use a muscle relaxant to smooth lines created by repetitive facial movements like frowning, raising your eyebrows, squinting,…
Wrinkle relaxation treatments can target:
- frown lines
- forehead lines
- crow’s feet
- lip lines (smoker’s lines)
- lines on the top of the nose (bunny lines)
- lines caused by movement of the chin
- neck bands and sagging jaw line (Nefertiti lift)
Additionally, these treatments have therapeutic benefits for conditions like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and teeth clenching or grinding.
What Is It All About?
Wrinkle relaxation treatments utilize a purified protein derived from Botulinum Toxin A. When applied to facial muscles, this protein affects the neuromuscular junction—the point where nerves and muscles communicate—by blocking nerve signals, leading to muscle relaxation. Repeated facial movements over time can lead to the formation and deepening of wrinkles and expression lines. By relaxing these muscles, the treatment can reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles and help prevent new ones from forming.
Every treatment at Nova Laser & Skin is customized for you. It begins with a detailed initial consultation with your clinician, where your full medical history is reviewed, and your concerns and goals are discussed. A personalized treatment plan is then created to best achieve your desired results.
Results from wrinkle relaxation treatments can start to appear within two to three days, but the full effect is usually seen after two weeks. Your practitioner will evaluate your progress at that time, and occasionally a follow-up dose may be needed.
Your skin will look firmer and smoother, with wrinkles becoming less noticeable or disappearing entirely. The effects typically last between 3-4 months, depending on the dosage and individual response. We recommend your maintenance treatment to be booked around that time.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To ensure the best results and minimize possibility of bruising during and/or after your treatment, please refrain from consuming alcohol and certain medications that thin the blood for at least seven days prior.
More information will be provided during your initial consultation with our Aesthetic Physician. Your medical history will be briefly discussed, including regular medications and supplements, and you will receive exact guidelines tailored to your needs. Comprehensive post-care instructions will be provided in written form and also discussed during your consultation.
BOOK A CONSULT
With any procedure, side effects are possible. But, in the hands of a skilled aesthetic practitioner, side effects tend to be minor and temporary. Remember that the effects of your treatment will not last forever. We recommend that you take the opportunity to schedule your next appointment to maintain your current appearance.
