Wrinkle Relaxers

What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?

A wrinkle relaxer is a nonsurgical injectable treatment used to smooth lines and creases that happen as a result of regular muscle contractions. It can work to lessen signs of aging, such as forehead folds, Crow's feet surrounding the eyes, and vertical lines in between the brows. Wrinkle relaxers are made from a specialized strain of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily blocks contraction in the facial muscles. In time, the look of wrinkles is diminished once the skin is able to heal and renew naturally. At Integrative Wellness, our team members offers several brands of wrinkle relaxers based on your unique concerns. Schedule an appointment at our Columbus, OH office today to learn more.

What Is A Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment Like?

During a thorough examination at our Columbus, OH office, one of our team members will go over which wrinkle relaxer product is best for you and your cosmetic desires. They provides wrinkle relaxer injections as an outpatient procedure that can be performed during the same visit as your initial visit. You will be asked to make a range of facial expressions using the top part of your face, which allows her to deliver the treatment in the appropriate spot. To start, they will wash your skin, mark the treatment areas, and use a thin syringe to administer the treatment. To minimize aches and swelling, they will apply a cold compress afterward. Depending on the selected formula and amount of injections, your treatment could last close to 10 – 15 minutes, after which you can resume your typical day.
