Wrinkle Relaxers in Atlanta, GA

As we get older, we begin to see early signs of aging in our upper face and forehead. Wrinkle relaxer injections at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery can help prevent fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize those initial signs of aging. Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang and our team perform a variety of wrinkle relaxer injections in our Duluth, GA office. These facial rejuvenation treatments can give you a youthful look without the harshness of having to have surgery. Using a specialized strain of botulinum toxin (type A), movements in your muscles are temporarily limited in the upper brow area, decreasing the appearance of these lines known as "dynamic," allowing your skin time to rejuvenate.

Lines and wrinkles may make you look more aged than you truly are. Wrinkle relaxers help reduce the look of such concerns by temporarily preventing the ability to change facial movements. A wrinkle relaxer injection at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery offers further benefits for Atlanta, GA-area patients, including:

• Treating forehead wrinkles, Crow's feet, and frown lines between the eyes
• Creating a more refreshed look
• Temporarily preventing future wrinkles
• A simple, surgery-free option
• No recovery time is required following the procedure
• Results appear natural and can persist for as long as 3 – 4 months

If you're looking for a noninvasive treatment to smooth over and prevent lines and wrinkles on your forehead, between your brows, or around your eyes, wrinkle relaxers may be a great option for you! If you have deeper lines, an injectable filler may be suggested. Likewise, if you're over 50 with moderate to severe skin laxity, Dr. Mang may suggest a facelift to help you reach your goals. Dr. Mang and his team will help you decide which skin rejuvenation option is best for you. If you're in Atlanta, GA, call our office today to schedule your skin rejuvenation session.

Wrinkle relaxer injections are a quick and easy outpatient procedure at our Duluth, GA office. After cleaning your skin, we will inject a wrinkle relaxer into your skin using a fine needle and follow up with a cold compress that will help with discomfort, swelling, and bruising. While you may feel needle pricks during the treatment, this is not an overly uncomfortable feeling. These injections typically take between 10 – 15 minutes, after which you can get back to your normal daily routine.

Once your procedure is done, you can get back to your normal routine. However, avoid exercise and other strenuous activities for about a day. Sleeping with your head propped the first night and avoiding touching your face will decrease the possibility of accidentally spreading the wrinkle relaxer to another area. You may experience some redness, bruising, and swelling, but this should disappear in 2 – 3 days. After just a few days, you should begin to see your beautiful results!

How many wrinkle relaxer treatments will I need?
The number of treatments administered will vary based on personal goals and the extent of your wrinkles and lines. Dr. Mang or a member of his experienced team will recommend the correct quantity of wrinkle relaxer units based on your treatment results and whether you want to address the Crow's feet, forehead, or lines between the eyes. To keep your aesthetic outcomes fresh, our experts might recommend getting treatments every 3 – 4 months at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery.

Can wrinkle relaxers be paired with additional aesthetic procedures?
Yes, they can. Wrinkle relaxers typically pair well with additional cosmetic options at Rejuve Aesthetic surgery for men and women who want to address signs of aging. If you notice deeper and more severe lines and wrinkles, we might recommend administering a dermal filler to help you achieve maximum outcomes. To further maximize your youthful, radiant appearance, Dr. Mang may perform additional complementary procedures, like microdermabrasion or a chemical peel.

What's the difference between wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers?
Although wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX®, are provided to smooth facial lines by temporarily blocking your muscle engagement, dermal fillers are a separate category of cosmetic solutions that enhance volume in the face. Fillers are designed to volumize hollow areas, soften static wrinkles, and enhance facial features like the lips and cheeks. Dr. Mang can ascertain whether you may be a good candidate for a dermal filler to complement your wrinkle relaxer treatment outcomes.

When should you start getting wrinkle relaxers?
As long as you are over the age of 18, the question is up to you. While many people think wrinkle relaxer treatments are for older people addressing the signs of aging, more and more younger people in their 20s and 30s are starting to get wrinkle relaxer treatments as a preventative measure against lines and wrinkles.

Are wrinkle relaxer injections painful?
As is the case with most injection-based treatments, you will feel a slight pinprick sensation as the injection is given. However, this feeling just goes on a few seconds, so many patients say that this brief sensation is quite bearable. Our professionals will help ensure you feel relaxed during your appointment. If needed, we can administer an anesthetic gel to make your treatment more comfortable.

Are wrinkle relaxer injections safe?
Wrinkle relaxers are considered safe when injected by a qualified medical professional, such as the practitioners in the Atlanta, GA, area at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery. However, some individuals may not be good candidates for the treatment, such as pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with an allergy to any ingredients in popular wrinkle relaxers, and people who take muscle relaxers or blood thinners.

What's the difference between BOTOX, Dysport, and Xeomin?
BOTOX, Dysport, and Xeomin are popular and effective injectable wrinkle relaxers, but they differ slightly. All three contain botulinum toxin type A, temporarily paralyzing facial muscles to reduce wrinkles. Botox is the most widely known and has been around the longest. Dysport spreads a bit more, making it suitable for larger areas, while Xeomin is unique because it doesn't contain additives.

If you want to look a few years younger, wrinkle relaxers are a great noninvasive option for smoothing out wrinkles and preventing future laugh and smile lines. Men and women in Atlanta, GA can contact Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery to rejuvenation their skin at our Duluth, GA office.
