The ladies were lovely! So friendly and professional, I look forward to coming in again.
Wrinkle Relaxers are purified natural proteins that are administered through the skin to block the nerve signals to certain muscles. The muscles then become more relaxed, which in turn reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles in the overlying skin They are often used for “Crows Feet” and “Frown Lines” between the eyes (the “Crooked 11”) but can also be used to treat forehead wrinkles. Once the area is treated, the effects on the muscles usually become apparent within a few hours, with the main effects appearing after about a week. The results are temporary (3-6 months) which means you will need top-ups a few times a year if you wish to maintain your line-free look.
Botulinum toxin is a protein that works by temporarily weakening or blocking the connection between nerve and muscle fibers. As our muscles get hyperdynamic from repetition in our facial patterns (making the same squint or scowl face over and over) our skin starts to fold in that area. By weakening those muscles, we give our skin a chance to recover.
Treatment takes 2-10 days to take effect and can last up to 3-6 months. Regular use maintains the best results as the muscles lose some of their hyperactivity. As it wears off, wrinkles caused by movement begin to come back. The wrinkles do not worsen, but return to baseline.
