What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Do you look in the mirror and feel like you don't know who's looking back at you because of lines and wrinkles? Dynamic lines are lines and wrinkles formed from making repetitive expressions, like squinting and smiling. As men and women age, these wrinkles and lines can end up "sticking." Thanks to wrinkle relaxers it is now possible to minimize the appearance of moderate to severe forehead creases, frown lines, Crow's feet, and more. Wrinkle relaxers temporarily block the muscles that create dynamic wrinkles, allowing the skin to become smoother on its own. At Brickell Cosmetic Center, our team is thrilled to provide wrinkle relaxer treatments as a non-invasive solution to help Miami, FL men and women enjoy a smoother, refreshed appearance and prevent signs of aging.

Who is a Candidate for Wrinkle Relaxers?
Injectable wrinkle relaxers are generally considered safe and appropriate for almost any patient who would like to smooth out expressive lines and wrinkles on the face. Ideal candidates are those men and women who have visible lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes even while at rest, which typically begin to appear in our 30s and 40s. Still, patients in their 20s often turn to wrinkle relaxer injections to get a jump start on their anti-aging routine and keep lines at bay for longer.

How Do Wrinkle Relaxers Work?
During your initial consultation at Brickell Cosmetic Center, our provider will perform a skin examination to decide which areas of your face would benefit from wrinkle relaxers. At your procedure, the wrinkle relaxer will be injected into the designated areas of your forehead or upper face using a small needle. The treatment itself only takes a few minutes to carry out. Many of our patients experience only slight discomfort (such as a pinching or pinprick feeling).
What Should I Expect after My Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment?
After your wrinkle relaxer appointment, you can return to your typical routine, although you should avoid overexertion for at least a day. You should be careful about touching your face for the first few days, as this might unintentionally distribute the formula to other places. The treatment sites might appear pink, raw, or tender, but these effects should disappear within a matter of days. Your new appearance may take several days to finalize based on the product used. Many people experience outcomes that last as long as four months, but the exact length of your outcomes will depend on the formula and amount of relaxer used. Before you leave our office, we will give you thorough aftercare instructions and discuss when to come in for follow-up treatments.
