WRINKLE RELAXERS
Wrinkle relaxers represent a transformative approach to achieving a more youthful appearance. These non-surgical treatments, often utilizing botulinum toxin, such as Botox, Dysport and Xeomin, are designed to address fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles. Widely recognized for their ability to soften facial lines and restore a smoother complexion, wrinkle relaxers offer a subtle yet impactful solution to rejuvenate and revitalize one’s appearance. Whether targeting crow’s feet, forehead lines, or frown lines, these treatments have revolutionized the pursuit of youthful radiance, providing individuals with a convenient and effective means to embrace a refreshed and revitalized look.
What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers, commonly known as neuromodulators, are a type of cosmetic injectable used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. The primary ingredient in these injectables is botulinum toxin, which works by temporarily blocking signals from the nerves to the targeted muscles. By inhibiting muscle contractions, wrinkle relaxers prevent the formation of wrinkles and soften existing lines. They are frequently used to address dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as crow’s feet around the eyes, forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows.
These treatments are minimally invasive and provide a smoother, more youthful appearance without the need for surgery. The effects typically last several months before gradually wearing off, requiring periodic touch-ups to maintain the desired results.
The Wrinkle Relaxer Experience
Undergoing wrinkle relaxer treatments is a straightforward and relatively swift experience. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank where he assesses your facial structure and discusses your aesthetic objectives to formulate a personalized treatment plan.
During the procedure, which often lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, the designated areas are cleansed, and if desired, a topical numbing cream might be applied for added comfort. Using fine needles, Dr. Frank administers Botox, Xeomin or Dysport into specific facial muscles responsible for wrinkle formation. While you might experience a mild pinch or sting at the injection sites, discomfort is usually minimal and fleeting. Post-treatment, you can resume your regular activities almost immediately. Minor redness or swelling may occur briefly at the injection sites. Over the following days and up to two weeks, the effects of the wrinkle relaxer become noticeable as the treated muscles relax, softening the appearance of wrinkles and lines.
Results typically last three to six months before the muscles gradually regain activity and wrinkles may slowly reappear. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to assess outcomes and discuss any additional treatments needed to achieve desired results. Overall, the process is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking temporary wrinkle reduction and facial rejuvenation.
The Benefits of Wrinkle Relaxers
Reduced Wrinkles
Wrinkle relaxers effectively target dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows. By temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles, they soften the appearance of these wrinkles and prevent them from becoming more prominent.
Preventive Measures
Beyond reducing existing wrinkles, these treatments can also act preventively. By hindering muscle contractions, they can potentially prevent the formation of deeper, more ingrained lines over time, particularly when used as a long-term treatment strategy.
Non-Invasive Solution
Wrinkle relaxers offer a non-surgical and minimally invasive approach to rejuvenating the face. Unlike surgical procedures, they require no incisions or anesthesia, resulting in minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
Quick Procedure
The treatment is usually swift, taking only around 10 to 20 minutes to administer, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
Natural-Looking Results
When properly administered by a skilled practitioner, wrinkle relaxers can provide natural-looking results that maintain facial expression and movement while softening the appearance of wrinkles.
Temporary Effects
The effects of wrinkle relaxers are temporary, lasting around three to six months. This temporary nature allows for flexibility in treatment and adjustments to ensure the desired outcome without committing to long-term changes.
Versatile Application
Besides addressing facial wrinkles, wrinkle relaxers can also be used to address other concerns, such as reducing the appearance of neck bands or creating a more defined jawline.
Are Wrinkle Relaxers Right for You?
Determining if wrinkle relaxers suit you involves considering a few key aspects. These treatments can be beneficial if you aim to reduce facial lines caused by movements like crow’s feet or frown lines. It’s important to note that wrinkle relaxers offer temporary results lasting about three to six months. If you prefer non-invasive procedures with minimal downtime, these treatments might align with your preferences. Consulting an experienced practitioner can offer personalized advice based on your goals and facial structure, helping decide if wrinkle relaxers are the right choice for you.

Jeannel has
long, thick hair that gets
frizzy when she sweats. It takes
her 40 minutes to blow dry it
and another 20 minutes to curl
it, and she’ll go to great
lengths to avoid this routine.
That used to mean skipping
workouts after work and weekend
bike rides with her
husband.
More recently,
it has meant getting several
dozen Botox shots in her scalp
in order to stop her head from
sweating when she exercises—thus
preserving her hairstyle for
another day or two. She and
other women who swear by the
method call it
“Blowtox.”
Botox, best
known as a wrinkle smoother, is
also approved by the FDA for
excessive underarm sweating. The
drug blocks the impulses between
nerves that tell a sweat gland
to activate and the gland
itself. If strategically shot
into the scalp—a treatment that
lasts anywhere from three to
nine months and can cost up to
$1,500—a woman can emerge from
even the sweatiest of workouts
with her hairdo still dry and
intact.
Dr. Paul Jarrod
Frank, who has a practice in
Manhattan, says that he got his
first request for Blowtox five
years ago, but “this summer the
treatment has been more popular
than ever.”
With
EMFACE we can target the aging
face at its root by optimizing
the facial structure and
muscular function.
This
technology emits both
Synchronized RF radiofrequency
(RF) and HIFES (high-intensity
facial electromagnetic
stimulation) energies, which are
delivered simultaneously via
facial applicators to stimulate
specific muscles in the layer of
the face, providing patients
with a painless, needle-free,
effective wrinkle reduction, and
face lifting experience.
Although results are
long-lasting, maintenance
treatments are recommended and
vary depending on one’s age and
desired result.
After a
single session, patients say
they can immediately feel and
see the effect of the unique
facial lifting
device.

ears look better with and
