WHAT ARE BOTOX AND WRINKLE RELAXERS?

Each time you take a look at yourself in the mirror, are you bothered by wrinkles and lines present on your forehead and in the skin surrounding your eyes? Frequently called dynamic lines, these skin changes occur due to continuous facial movements, including smiling, squinting, and frowning. As people become more mature, these wrinkles eventually become more pronounced and can make them look tired. Thanks to wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport®, and XEOMIN®, we may be able to temporarily minimize the appearance of moderate to severe Crow's feet, frown lines, and horizontal forehead creases. Wrinkle relaxers are made from a filtered type A strain of botulinum toxin. It functions to temporarily disengage the facial muscles that create those contractions, letting the skin smooth itself over time. At Clique Salon and Med Spa, registered nurse Racheal R. Santarpia is pleased to administer wrinkle relaxers as a nonsurgical cosmetic solution to help patients attain a younger-looking, renewed outcome. We invite you to reach out to our office in Lakeland, FL for more information about this procedure.

HOW DO BOTOX AND WRINKLE RELAXERS WORK?

At your first treatment consultation at Clique Salon and Med Spa, Racheal Santarpia will provide an aesthetic evaluation and identify the areas that require attention. After cleansing your face of oil, makeup, or dirt, she will administer the injections to the appropriate areas using a fine-gauge needle. Any discomfort during the procedure will be minor; most patients barely feel the needle. We offer Nitronox Plus®, a safe and effective sedative, for added comfort. Once the treatment is done, you can leave and return to your daily routine without downtime.

BOTOX Cosmetic: BOTOX temporarily diminishes the appearance of moderate to severe forehead creases, Crow's feet, and frown lines. It is a purified type A strain of botulinum toxin and functions to temporarily "freeze" the facial muscles that assist with those contractions, allowing the skin to rebound on its own. The BOTOX formula will be injected into the specified areas of your forehead or face using a fine needle. BOTOX takes around ten minutes to complete, and many patients experience only slight discomfort (like a pinprick or pinching feeling).

Dysport: This injectable wrinkle treatment smooths dynamic lines and creases throughout the face, such as glabellar lines between the eyes. Much like BOTOX, Dysport uses a filtered form of type A botulinum toxin to temporarily relax or block signals to particular muscles in your face. As soon as these muscle groups are treated, the frequent movements that result in dynamic wrinkles will be stopped, and the overlying skin will be tightened. This allows you to smile, frown, and make many different facial expressions without causing dynamic wrinkles. It also creates rejuvenated outcomes that won't make you look "overdone."

XEOMIN: Much like BOTOX, this injectable wrinkle relaxer treatment relaxes the facial muscles with a purified strain of botulinum toxin type A so your dynamic wrinkles appear smoother and softer. It can help if you want to improve the appearance of dynamic wrinkles on the face, including frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines on the forehead, Crow's feet in the outer corners of the eyes, and smile and laugh lines.

Jeuveau: Jeuveau fights signs of aging with an advanced wrinkle relaxer formula that is approved by the FDA. With a similar formula to BOTOX® and Dyspor®t, Jeuveau relaxes overworked facial muscles to improve dynamic wrinkles, such as the frown lines in the middle of your eyebrows (also known as glabellar lines).

BOTOX® AND WRINKLES RELAXERS FAQS

How many BOTOX injections will I likely need?
The number of treatments needed will differ according to personal goals and the severity and depth of your lines and wrinkles. Our staff can recommend the correct number of injections according to your desired treatment outcomes and whether you prefer to address the brow area, Crow's feet, or forehead. To maintain your cosmetic outcomes, our experts could suggest getting BOTOX injections every 3 – 4 months at Clique Salon and Med Spa.

Can BOTOX be paired with additional nonsurgical services?
BOTOX treatment often pairs well with additional noninvasive options at Clique Salon and Med Spa for patients who prefer to reduce signs of aging. If you have deeper and more severe lines and wrinkles, our professionals could talk with you about adding a filler to help you achieve maximum results. To further improve a younger-looking radiant glow, Racheal Santarpia can provide additional complementary treatments, including facials or PRP with microneedling.

What is the difference between dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers?
Though wrinkle reducers, such as BOTOX, are provided to diminish fine creases by temporarily blocking your muscle movements, dermal fillers are a separate category of aesthetic solutions that enhance facial volume. Fillers are intended to volumize gaunt-looking areas and reduce static wrinkles. Racheal Santarpia can ascertain whether you may benefit from a dermal filler to complement your wrinkle relaxer results.
