WHAT ARE WRINKLE RELAXERS?
Frown Lines
Treating the forehead with wrinkle relaxers is among the most sought-after procedures at clinics. As we grow older, the repetitive motion of facial muscles contributes to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Initially, these lines are dynamic, meaning they appear only during facial expressions. However, as time goes on, they gradually evolve into static wrinkles, which remain visible even when the face is at rest.
The forehead muscle, known as the Frontalis is a large muscle that spans across the entire forehead and is responsible for lifting the eyebrows. Over time, the constant use of this muscle causes horizontal lines to appear. If these lines are left untreated, they can deepen and become permanently etched into the skin, even when the face is relaxed.
In addition to muscle movement, genetics can also influence how pronounced your forehead wrinkles may become.
Treatment Risks and Considerations
Frown Lines
● Asymmetry: There is a risk of uneven results, where one side may appear different from the other.
● Drooping: If the injection affects nearby muscles, it could lead to issues such as drooping eyelids or eyebrows.
● Headaches: Some people may experience mild headaches following the treatment.
● Allergic Reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions to the product can occur, leading to itching, rash, or swelling.
● Injection Site Reactions: Redness, tenderness, or lump formation at the injection site can happen.
● Potential Spread of Toxin: In rare cases, the muscle relaxer might spread beyond the intended area, causing unintended effects.
It’s important to discuss these risks with a qualified practitioner to ensure that the treatment is appropriate for your needs and to minimise potential complications.

FAQ for Antiwrinkle
We regularly get asked about our procedures, so we have put together a couple of questions we get asked on a regular basis. If there is something else you would like to know, please get in touch!
Who can have Wrinkle Relaxers?
Each treatment is tailored to the individual and requires a thorough assessment by a healthcare professional to determine its suitability. While most individuals are suitable candidates for wrinkle relaxers, a consultation is necessary prior to scheduling the treatment. However, certain individuals may not be suitable for these treatments, including:
- Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: The safety of wrinkle-relaxing treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been established, so they are generally not recommended.
- Individuals with Neuromuscular Disorders: People with conditions such as myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, or ALS may experience increased risks due to the effects of the treatment on muscle activity.
- People with Active Skin Infections: Individuals with active skin infections or inflammation in the area to be treated should wait until the condition has resolved before undergoing treatment.
How long do wrinkle relaxers take to become visible?
With wrinkle relaxers, initial results typically start to become visible within 3 to 7 days after treatment. The full effects usually develop by around 2 weeks post-treatment.
How long do the results last?
The effects of wrinkle relaxers typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual and the area treated. Over time, the treated muscles gradually regain their activity, and the wrinkles may reappear.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment involves small injections, which are usually well-tolerated. Some people experience mild discomfort, but this is often brief.
How long does the treatment take?
The procedure itself is quick, typically taking about 10 to 20 minutes to inject, depending on the number of areas being treated.
