Wrinkle relaxers like Botox work by temporarily relaxing muscles in the treatment area. It does this by blocking the nerve signals telling them to contract.
When treating dynamic wrinkles, we will first have you make a series of facial expressions so we can determine the best placement for your injections. From there, we inject the wrinkle relaxer into the facial muscles to limit the wrinkle-causing contractions. In the coming weeks, your wrinkles will soften as the muscles underneath gradually relax.
