Advanced Wrinkle Relaxer Injections (Botulinum Toxin) at Hazel Clinic with Dr. Susana Fontana

At Hazel Clinic, we are dedicated to enhancing your natural beauty through advanced wrinkle relaxer injections, meticulously administered by Dr. Susana Fontana. Our goal is to revive your natural radiance and ensure you look and feel your best.

Overview

Unwanted facial lines and wrinkles can leave one looking tired or stressed. Our approach at Hazel Clinic is to gently relax specific underlying muscles, resulting in a rejuvenated and more relaxed appearance. We tailor our unique approach to your individual needs, embracing your inherent beauty while prioritizing a natural, subtle result—never a 'frozen' look.

How It Works

The mechanism behind wrinkle relaxers involves blocking nerve impulses to specific muscles, diminishing muscle activity responsible for the development of moderate to severe lines. This not only reduces existing dynamic lines but also acts as a preventive measure against the formation of new ones. Our meticulous technique ensures minimal amounts of wrinkle relaxer are applied across various facial muscles, delivering an overall rejuvenating effect.

Process

  • Recovery time: Minimal

  • Social downtime: Perfect for a quick lunch break. You may experience tiny inconspicuous bumps for around 20 minutes, but the procedure remains imperceptible.

  • Procedure time: 20 minutes

  • Discomfort level: Minimal

  • Anesthetic: Numbing cream (optional)

Your appointment will begin with a thorough facial assessment to plan the most suitable treatment for you. We use a very fine needle to administer small injections, ensuring minimal to no discomfort during the procedure.

Suitability

While suitable for most, we advise against administering injectables to pregnant or breastfeeding women, and individuals with an active infection at the injection site or systemically. If you have allergies, autoimmune, neuromuscular, or underlying medical conditions, please discuss your suitability with us in advance.

It’s essential to feel fit and well on the day of your treatment. We cannot perform the treatment if you are unwell or have recently had an illness, including flu. Additionally, we do not recommend undergoing any other skin, beauty, or aesthetic treatments within the two weeks prior to your dermal filler appointment.

Duration of Results

The effects typically last 3-4 months. However, individuals who engage in regular physical activities like running may metabolize the wrinkle relaxers more quickly.

Treatable Areas

  • Dynamic facial lines (e.g., frown lines, horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines)

  • Gummy smiles

  • Lip flip

  • Teeth grinding

  • Masseter hypertrophy

  • Facial slimming

  • Neck bands

  • Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in the armpits)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do wrinkle relaxers work?

Wrinkle relaxers work by blocking nerve impulses to specific muscles, reducing muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines. They also help restore facial balance and symmetry by counteracting the downward pull of certain muscles, which can make one appear sad, angry, or tired.

Can wrinkle relaxers prevent wrinkles?

Yes, wrinkle relaxers can prevent new wrinkles from forming while reducing the appearance of existing dynamic lines. However, it's crucial to be in good health before undergoing the treatment. If unwell or recently ill, we recommend postponing the procedure.

What is the recommended frequency for wrinkle relaxers?

We suggest treatment every 4-6 months. The effects typically last around 3-4 months, although some might extend to 5-6 months. It's essential to schedule your next visit based on when you start noticing lines reappearing on the skin while your face is at rest.

Results

Initial results typically become apparent after one week, with the final outcome taking up to two weeks following the treatment. We encourage new clients to return for a complimentary review, allowing us to assess the results and make any necessary adjustments.
