Wrinkle Relaxers

All muscles do not relax at the same rate and will take 2 weeks to reach their final state of relaxation. At this time, we can assess your results and make adjustments if needed. 2 units of relaxer are included free of cost at your follow-up appointment.

With continued use of neurotoxins, the muscles targeted will atrophy over time and prevent the movements that cause wrinkles to be formed. This will decrease the appearance of wrinkles and help to prevent them from forming. There are other factors that contribute to wrinkle formation such as environmental, especially sun exposure. It is critical to use sunscreen daily for skin health and to prevent wrinkles.

I get this question asked often. Many people are confused by the difference between fillers and toxins. Let’s start by saying, there is a huge difference. Wrinkle Relaxers are composed of the toxin that works on the muscle to inhibit its full movement, thus smoothing out the lines and wrinkles that lay on top of the muscles targeted. Filler is usually composed of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in our tissues. Facial filler composed of hyaluronic acid is often used to create volume, fullness, and structure to areas of the face. They can help contour cheekbones, soften lines around the nose and mouth and provide added volume to the lips. Dermal fillers target volume loss rather than muscle-related wrinkles. When used in conjunction, fillers and anti-wrinkle injections can produce beautiful, natural looking skin rejuvenation. At TEAL Elite Med Spa in Mt. Pleasant, SC, we only use fillers containing hyaluronic acid. They are safer and can be reversed if needed. Our philosophy also includes delivering natural looking enhancements and results.
