Wrinkle Relaxer Treatments at Reflection Facethetics Clinic
Botox Injections: Botox is utilized to relax facial muscles, effectively diminishing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. The procedure is quick, typically taking 10–15 minutes, with minimal discomfort. Patients often notice improvements within 3 days, with full results visible around 14 days post-treatment. The effects generally last between 3 to 4 months.
Dermal Fillers: These are gel-like substances, commonly hyaluronic acid, injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth out deeper lines, and enhance facial contours. Dermal fillers are particularly effective for areas like the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds. The results are immediate, with minimal downtime, and can last from 6 months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used.
What are the benefits of wrinkle relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers—typically referring to Botox or similar neuromodulators (like Dysport or Xeomin)—offer a variety of cosmetic and medical benefits. Here are the main benefits of wrinkle relaxers:

Regular use can prevent the formation or deepening of lines by limiting repeated muscle movement.

Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive
Quick injections, no cuts or stitches, and minimal downtime.

Quick Results
Visible improvements typically within 3–7 days, with full effects in about 2 weeks.

-
Natural-Looking Results
When administered correctly, results are subtle and enhance your appearance without making you look "frozen."
Medical Benefits (Off-Label Uses)

Migraine Relief
Botox is FDA-approved for chronic migraine treatment.

Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Reduces sweating in areas like underarms, palms, or feet.

Procedure of getting wrinkle relaxers
Here's a clear breakdown of the procedure for getting wrinkle relaxers (like Botox or other neuromodulators):
1. Consultation
- Initial Assessment: A qualified practitioner (like Dr. Deepika Bartunia) will examine your face, discuss concerns (e.g., frown lines, crow’s feet), and assess your medical history.
- Personalized Plan: Based on your goals, they’ll recommend the number of units and injection sites.
2. Preparation
- Cleansing the Area: The treatment areas are cleaned to remove makeup, oil, or dirt.
- Marking Injection Points (optional): Some practitioners mark precise spots to guide injection placement.
- No Anesthesia Needed: The procedure is usually not painful—just mild pinches. A topical numbing cream or ice pack may be used if you're sensitive.
3. Injection Process
- Time: The procedure takes about 10–15 minutes.
- Technique: A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of the wrinkle relaxer into targeted muscles.
- Sensation: You may feel a tiny pinch or pressure, but it’s generally well tolerated.
4. Post-Treatment Care
- No Rubbing or Massaging: Avoid touching the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
- Stay Upright: Don’t lie down or bend excessively for 4–6 hours post-treatment.
- No Heavy Exercise: Avoid strenuous activity for the rest of the day.
- Avoid Alcohol & Blood Thinners: These can increase the risk of bruising.
5. Results Timeline
- Onset: Changes begin to appear in 3–5 days.
- Full Effect: Typically seen in 10–14 days.
- Duration: Results last 3–4 months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended.
