At Manhattan Medspa, our providers in our New York, New York, area office are pleased to offer patients in the community a solution for aging skin. When our facial skin begins to lose natural collagen and elastin, it can result in skin laxity and an increased risk of wrinkles and folds. The wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, known as dynamic wrinkles, can be addressed with cosmetic injectables such as wrinkle relaxers.
What is a wrinkle relaxer treatment?
A wrinkle relaxer is a neuromodulator used to reduce muscle contractions and, in turn, smooth away wrinkles and folds caused by muscle tension. These FDA-approved injectables are commonly used in aesthetic practices to restore a more youthful look to the face. The wrinkle relaxer stops the signals from the nerves from tightening the muscles and causing wrinkles to form. When the injections are administered by a properly qualified professional, such as the team at Manhattan Medspa, you will rest easy knowing you are getting a safe, non-surgical solution to unwanted wrinkles and folds.
What wrinkles and folds can be improved with wrinkle relaxers?
Our team often recommends wrinkle relaxers for areas such as between the eyebrows, on the forehead muscle, around the eyes, for “bunny lines” on the nose, facial lines, and wrinkles along the neck. This same injectable can also be used for patients with excessive underarm sweating, providing a solution for hyperhidrosis!
How do I prepare for my wrinkle relaxer appointment?
Be sure to talk to your medical provider about any blood thinners or medications you are on before administering your injections. Avoid NSAIDs the day of your treatment, and do not exfoliate the face within 48 hours of your appointment time for your non-surgical wrinkle reduction.
