Turn Back the Hands of Time with Wrinkle Relaxers

Looking for solutions to soften the signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles? If so, you may want to consider wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox or Jeauveau, proudly brought to you by Desert Eyesthetics. Dr. Garcia, our experienced physician, will tailor your treatment to address your unique needs, restoring your youthful contours. Be prepared to be amazed!

What Are Wrinkle Relaxers? 

Repeated expressions or facial movements like smiling, laughing, frowning, or drinking through a straw can leave you with dynamic lines and wrinkles, and we at Desert Eyesthetics are here to help. We may recommend wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox or Jeauveau, to reduce forehead wrinkles, “frown” lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, and unwanted lines in other areas.

But how do wrinkle relaxers work? These injectable neuromodulators are derived from a purified form of the botulinum toxin type A. They safely and effectively block nerve signals to muscles responsible for contractions, visibly reducing folds, lines, creases, and wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expression. 

What Can You Expect During Treatment? 

Dr. Garcia will thoroughly evaluate your unique needs and aesthetic goals to plan treatment. Next, she will use ultra-fine needles to inject Botox or Jeuveau into targeted muscles with minimal pain or discomfort. You will not require downtime, meaning you can go about your daily activities right after treatment without interruption. 

What Can You Expect After Treatment? 

You can expect minimal discomfort, and depending on the treatment area, only minor swelling and slight bruising may occur for a few hours. Your facial lines and wrinkles should start fading within two or three days, with the full effects of treatment apparent in about two weeks and peaking in about a month. 

The dramatic results of treatment typically last three to four months, after which the lines, folds, and wrinkles gradually appear once again. Touch-up treatments will ensure you continue to enjoy your wrinkle-free, youthful complexion. With continued treatments, the muscles are trained to relax, meaning the effects of treatment will last longer, requiring less frequent maintenance in the future. 

What Are Additional Wrinkle Relaxer Applications?

Aside from their cosmetic uses, our injectable neurotoxins offer therapeutic applications, including addressing blepharospasm, a condition characterized by repeated blinking or uncontrollable eyelid twitching. Moreover, some patients suffer from hemifacial spasms, which can cause muscle shaking and spasms that start with the eyelid and extend to the cheek and mouth. Botox or Jeuveau can relax the facial muscles that cause the twitching, helping relieve your symptoms and enhancing your quality of life. 

During treatment, Dr. Garcia will inject tiny amounts of botulinum toxin into your eyelid muscles to relax them and relieve the spasms. The exceptional treatment results can last three to four months, after which you will need retreatment to keep those twitches under control. 

Can Wrinkle Relaxers Be Combined with Other Treatments? 

Botulinum toxin treatment can often enhance the effects of other cosmetic treatments. Many of our patients here at Desert Eyesthetics choose the “Wrinkle-Fighting Duo,” a combination of botulinum toxin and filler. We typically use Juvederm or Restylane products to fill in existing wrinkles and Botox or Jeuveau to prevent new wrinkles from forming. The two cosmetic injectables can work together to leave you looking more youthful for longer.
