What are wrinkle relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers are made out of a natural, purified protein that is derived from bacteria in the same way that penicillin is derived from mould. It is manufactured under sterile laboratory conditions. Wrinkle relaxers reduce the signs of ageing associated with wrinkles by relaxing and smoothening facial lines and creases.

Who can use wrinkle relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers are accessible to anyone. Both men and women can benefit from using wrinkle relaxers.

What areas can I treat with wrinkle relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers are usually used to treat problematic facial areas such as:

  • Forehead lines: these are the horizontal lines that form on your forehead when you raise your eyebrows.
  • Frown lines: they are the vertical lines that appear between your eyebrows whenever you frown.
  • Crows feet: these lines branch out from the corner of your eyes when you smile or squint.

Some misconceptions and myths about wrinkle relaxers

From myths about frozen heads and frozen faces, to the misconceptions of being ‘fake’ and ‘plastic’, the stigma and misconceptions regarding wrinkle relaxers can be quite overwhelming and terrifying. Let’s break down these myths and misconceptions, shall we?

  • You can still smile. Wrinkle relaxers only affect the facial muscles being treated. By relaxing these certain muscles, unwanted or undesirable facial movements are softened. Untreated muscles continue to allow normal facial movements and expressions.
  • Wrinkle relaxer treatments are reversible. The relaxer’s effects last for up for 4 months. If you choose to discontinue further treatments, your muscles will eventually return to normal. Your wrinkles will also gradually revert back to pre-treatment levels. Don’t worry, your face won’t become droopy and fall off!
  • Wrinkle relaxers are not only used for aesthetics, they are also used clinically as therapeutic treatments. They were first approved for use in Australia for movement disorders in 1993 and for eye spasms and cross eyes in New Zealand in 1991. Furthermore, wrinkle relaxers are also used to treat cerebral palsy in children.

How are wrinkle relaxers administered?

The wrinkle relaxer treatment is a non-surgical procedure. It is administered to selected facial muscles via a very fine needle. The treatment usually takes around ten minutes. Anaesthetics are not required because discomfort during the procedure is typically minimal and brief.

The relaxers take 2-3 days after being injected to begin taking effect. Full effects are usually noticeable in 14 days.

The procedure’s effects usually last up to 4 months. However, if you repeat the treatments, the effect lasts longer.

Our pricing of wrinkle relaxers

At Timeless Cosmetics, we know every face is different. That is why we price our wrinkle relaxers per unit. The amount of units used during the procedure depends on each person’s muscle strength, wrinkle depth, gender, and desired effect of the procedure.

To ensure you get the best treatment suited to you, we offer quotes before treatment.
