A treatment that softens the look of fine lines by relaxing facial muscles.
Why Consider Wrinkle Relaxing Injections?
As we age, repeated facial expressions, like smiling, frowning, or squinting, can leave lines that stay even when our face is at rest. Wrinkle relaxing injections, commonly referred to as Botulinum neurotoxin, help reduce the appearance of these lines by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles.
This treatment doesn’t change the way you look, it simply softens expression lines, leaving your face looking refreshed without surgery or downtime.
How Do the Injections Work?
The treatment uses a purified protein that interrupts signals between nerves and the facial muscles they control. When these muscles relax, the skin above them looks smoother and less creased.
Common areas treated include:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Forehead lines
What Happens During a Session?
- Before: You’ll have a consultation to discuss your goals and to check if wrinkle relaxing injections are suitable for you.
- During: A fine needle is used to place small amounts of the product into the targeted muscles. The process usually takes about 10–20 minutes.
- After: You can return to most normal activities right away. Some people may have mild redness or tiny bumps at the injection sites, which settle quickly.
What Kind of Results Can You Expect?
- Softer, more relaxed-looking expression lines
- A refreshed appearance without surgery
- Gradual onset of results over 3–7 days, lasting about 3–4 months
- Repeat treatments may be needed to maintain the effect
Any Side Effects to Know About?
Most people tolerate wrinkle relaxing injections well. Possible short-term effects include:
- Mild redness or swelling at the injection site
- Temporary bruising
- Rarely, temporary eyelid heaviness if product spreads to nearby muscles
This treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have certain neuromuscular conditions. Your doctor will discuss your medical history to ensure safety.
