• Wrinkle Relaxers

  At Prospera Internal Medicine and Aesthetics, we believe beauty thrives on a foundation of well-being. We champion a holistic approach to medical aesthetics, recognizing that genuine confidence flourishes when you feel healthy and comfortable in your own skin. That’s why we offer wrinkle relaxers like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin as part of a comprehensive approach to enhancing your natural beauty. Wrinkle relaxers are a popular and effective way to address the visible signs of aging, particularly wrinkles and fine lines. If you’re looking for a way to achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance, wrinkle relaxers might be the perfect solution for you. Understanding Wrinkles and the Power of Wrinkle Relaxers As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and collagen production slows. This breakdown can lead to the formation of wrinkles, particularly around the forehead, eyes, and mouth. These lines and creases can sometimes make us appear tired, stressed, or even angry, even when we don’t feel that way. Wrinkle relaxers work by temporarily blocking the signals sent from nerves to the muscles in your face. This relaxation smooths out the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leaving you with a more refreshed and youthful look. The Prospera Difference: Personalized Care for Natural-Looking Results At Prospera, we believe in a personalized approach to aesthetics. We understand that everyone’s facial structure, goals, and preferences are unique. That’s why our experienced and compassionate team will take the time to understand your concerns and desired outcomes during your consultation. The Benefits of Wrinkle Relaxer treatments Wrinkle relaxers offer a range of benefits beyond just a more youthful appearance. Here are some additional reasons to consider this treatment: Boosted Confidence Looking and feeling your best can significantly improve your confidence and self-esteem. Wrinkle relaxers can help you feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin. Preventative Care Early intervention with wrinkle relaxers can help prevent the formation of deeper wrinkles and lines in the future. By addressing fine lines early on, you can maintain a more youthful appearance for longer. Reduced Muscle Tension For some individuals, frown lines and crow’s feet can be caused by chronic muscle tension. Wrinkle relaxers can help to alleviate this tension, leading to a more relaxed and youthful appearance. The Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment Process at Prospera At Prospera, we strive to make the wrinkle relaxer experience as comfortable and convenient as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment: Consultation: During your initial consultation, a member of our team will discuss your goals, medical history, and any questions you may have. We will also perform a thorough facial assessment to determine the best course of treatment for you. The $199 consultation fee will be applied to any procedure you select to be performed that day. The Procedure: The wrinkle relaxer injection process is quick and relatively painless. A small amount of the product is injected into targeted muscles using a very fine needle. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and a topical numbing cream can be applied for additional comfort. Recovery: There is minimal downtime associated with wrinkle relaxers. You may experience some mild redness or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. You can resume your normal activities shortly following your treatment. what to Expect The results of wrinkle relaxers typically become noticeable within a few days, with the full effect taking effect within 7-14 days. The effects of wrinkle relaxers typically last for 3-4 months, at which point the muscles will gradually regain their function and the lines may start to reappear. Regular touch-up treatments can help maintain your desired results. Is a Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment Right for You? Wrinkle relaxers are a safe and effective treatment for most healthy adults who are looking to address wrinkles and fine lines. However, they may not be suitable for everyone. During your consultation, our team will discuss your candidacy for wrinkle relaxers and answer any questions you may have. Here are some factors to consider: Age: While wrinkle relaxers can be effective at any age, they are often most beneficial for those starting to see the development of wrinkles and fine lines. Skin Concerns: Wrinkle relaxers are most effective for addressing wrinkles caused by muscle movement, such as frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. They may not be as effective for wrinkles caused by sun damage or loss of skin volume. Medical History: Certain medical conditions or medications may make you a poor candidate for wrinkle relaxers. Our team will review your medical history to ensure the treatment is safe for you.
