what treats

Wrinkle relaxer by Allergan is FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. However, physicians have been using wrinkle relaxer for years to treat other facial creases, such as lines around the eye.

Before receiving a Wrinkle relaxer treatment, it’s important to distinguish between wrinkles that are caused by certain facial movements and wrinkles caused by the combination of gravity and decreased skin elasticity. Though these treatment can be effective at addressing the former type of facial wrinkles, they will not diminish the appearance of lines caused by excessive sun exposure and gravity. This is because Allergan vials target muscle movements, not skin damage.

how it works

Wrinkle relaxer is a specialized chemical that temporarily blocks communication between nerves and the targeted muscles. When delivered correctly, the contraction of the targeted muscle will become significantly relaxed. Since the muscle doesn’t move much, it no longer pulls on the surrounding skin, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften.

It is important to note that for the results to look natural, this treatment must be done correctly, and into the right areas on the face. If too much Allergan is used, or if it’s delivered into the wrong parts of the face, the patient will be left with a fake appearance that makes it obvious that they’ve had cosmetic work performed.

At For U Med Spa, our providers are highly trained in Wrinkle relaxer by Allergan. We have deep expertise in using just the right amounts of units for the face and neck, and are able to pin-point the best treatment sites with accuracy. Our treatments have helped many patients achieve a youthful appearance that looks natural and aesthetically pleasing.

how long does it last?

It usually takes 14-30 days to see the full effects of the Wrinkle relaxer. The duration of results will vary based on the patient’s unique body chemistry. However, patients typically experience positive effects for 3-6 months. Upkeep treatments can also be used to extend these results.

wrinkle relaxer for excessive sweating

In addition to diminishing facial lines and wrinkles, Wrinkle relaxer can be used to decrease excessive sweating on your hands or underarms. This treatment has been effective in many patients for whom other anti-perspiration solutions do not work.

how the treatment is performed

Cosmetic Wrinkle relaxer treatments take just a few minutes and can be completed on your lunch break. No anesthesia is required for Allergan and there is only minor discomfort. To increase patient comfort, we use thin, short needles to perform the treatment. This approach significantly reduces any discomfort and bruising.

Typically, Wrinkle relaxer will be done throughout different parts of the face, to create a balanced, natural look. Other treatments, like facial fillers, can also be combined with this procedure to address different skin complaints at the same time.
