The Steps of Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment

The treatment begins with a thorough consultation and evaluation to assess your specific needs and goals. Once the treatment plan is established, the skin is carefully cleansed to ensure a sterile environment. The areas for injection are then precisely marked, and a ruler is used at certain areas such as the forehead. The precise injection spots and dosing are recorded for future reference. The injections are performed using extremely small needles and gentle techniques, making the process quick and minimally uncomfortable. For those who prefer additional comfort measures, options like topical numbing cream, ice packs, or a vibrating distractor can be provided, though most patients find the procedure to be relatively painless.

How Long It Takes for Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment to Take Effect

Botox typically begins to take effect within 3 to 5 days after the treatment, with full results usually becoming visible around 10 to 14 days. The time it takes for the effects to be noticeable can vary slightly depending on the individual and the area being treated. Dysport typically takes effect a little quicker than Botox.

How Long Wrinkle Treatment Lasts

Wrinkle relaxer treatment, such as with Botox and Dysport, typically lasts between 2 to 5 months, depending on factors such as the area treated, the individual’s metabolism, and the dosage used. Over time, the effects gradually wear off as the treated muscles regain their ability to contract. To maintain the desired results, most patients schedule follow-up treatments every 3 to 4 months. With consistent use, some patients may find that the effects last longer, as the muscles become conditioned to remain relaxed. Increasing the dose will increase how long the treatment lasts, however we typically recommend lower doses as this is typically more natural and reduces your total cost over the long-term.
