Wrinkle Relaxers

Wrinkle relaxer
Your brain directs signals to your facial muscles to move which causes wrinkles. Wrinkle relaxers are a neurotoxin that temporarily block these signals, inhibiting the nerve stimulation on the muscles. The results are less movement and the reduction of existing wrinkles. The effects of wrinkle relaxer injections last approximately between three to six months depending on the individual treated.

Dermal fillers
Dermal Fillers are an aesthetic gel-based treatment injected into the skin. Dermal fillers are used to enhance facial features by plumping the desired area such as cheeks and lips. Dermal fillers are specifically used to contour the face, create volume, hydrate, diminish wrinkles and revitalise the skin.

The active ingredient in wrinkle relaxers is diluted in saline solution and injected directly into the neuromuscular tissue. The injection blocks the nerve signals that make muscles contract, resulting in less movement and a complete reduction or removal of existing wrinkles. For example, if you had a frown line you wished to get rid of, the Wrinkle Relaxer gets injected into the muscle surrounding the area. The signals from the nerve to the muscle is blocked, eliminating contractions and leaving the skin looking smooth.
At your consultation with Dr Guy Watts, your facial muscles will be examined, and a decision will be made whether to administer the Wrinkle Relaxer.
No anaesthesia is requires, however topical anaesthesia may be used to numb the area before and after treatment.

Undergoing a Wrinkle Relaxer treatment is a safe and easy facial rejuvenation procedure. A qualified doctor or cosmetic nurse will use a sterile micro-needle to inject the wrinkle relaxer into certain areas of the face to target specific muscles. No local anaesthetic is required, and most patients wont experience much more than a slight pinching sensation.
