What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX®, are noninvasive injectables that smooth lines and creases caused by repeated muscle movements. They effectively reduce signs of aging, like forehead folds, Crow's feet, and "11" lines between the eyebrows, by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Over time, wrinkles diminish as the skin heals and rejuvenates. At The Skin Care Center at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL, our team offers various wrinkle relaxers, including BOTOX, to meet your specific needs and achieve radiant results.
What Is A Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment Like?
During your consultation at our Pensacola, FL office, we will determine the best wrinkle relaxer for your beauty goals. We often perform injections on the same day as your consultation. You'll be asked to make facial expressions to target the upper face muscles accurately. After cleansing and marking the injection sites, we use a fine needle to administer the treatment. To minimize discomfort, we apply a cold compress immediately after. Depending on the type and number of injections, the procedure typically takes about 10 – 15 minutes, allowing you to continue your day as usual.
What Should I Expect after A Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment?
Following your wrinkle relaxer appointment, you may return to your regular schedule; however, you should avoid strenuous activities for at least a day. You should refrain from handling your face for the first several days, as this may inadvertently distribute the injectable to different regions. The injection areas could become flushed, raw, or tender, but your symptoms should subside in a few days. Depending on the product we used, your outcomes may take a few days to be seen. Many people experience results lasting up to four months, but the precise length of your results will differ slightly based on the make-up and quantity of product used. Before you leave, our team will provide detailed post-treatment recommendations and discuss when to book follow-up appointments.
What Are Some Benefits of Wrinkle Relaxers?

Am I A Candidate for Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxer injections can make a great addition to almost anyone's anti-aging regimen, but they're especially beneficial for men and women who want to minimize visible lines and wrinkles without facelift surgery. This treatment is also a popular choice for younger patients who want to hold off signs of aging. Your provider will talk with you about your aesthetic goals and work with you to determine which approach is best for you. If you wish to correct deep-set lines, a dermal filler may be used to supplement your wrinkle relaxer treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many wrinkle relaxer units/injections will be required?
The number of injections needed for your treatment will depend on the areas being treated and the results you want to achieve. Our team will tailor the number of injections in your treatment based on your needs. Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines, and Crow's feet, each requiring multiple injections for optimal results. To maintain your look, we typically recommend coming back for touch-up treatments every 3 – 4 months.
Are wrinkle relaxer injections painful?
As with many injectable therapies, you will notice a light poking feeling as the treatment is administered. This is a very brief feeling, lasting just a few seconds, and most patients find it tolerable. At The Skin Care Center at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, we are committed to our patients' comfort and safety throughout their treatments. If you're worried about discomfort, ask us about what we can do to make your procedure more comfortable.
Is there a difference between dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers?
Dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers are both effective at creating a refreshed appearance, but they serve different purposes. Wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX, work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, like frown lines and Crow's feet, resulting in a smoother appearance. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to restore lost volume, smooth out deeper lines, and enhance facial contours, often targeting areas like the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds. For maximum rejuvenation, we can pair your wrinkle relaxer treatment with dermal fillers. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan based on your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
