How Long Wrinkle Relaxer Treatments Last | Dr Rakib Kew, Melbourne
Wrinkle relaxer treatments are a go-to option for smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines and keeping the face looking fresher and more rested. One of the most frequent questions patients ask is: how long do the effects actually last? This post covers the typical duration of wrinkle relaxer treatments and the factors that affect their longevity.
Wrinkle relaxer injections temporarily relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. The effects typically last between 3 to 6 months. Muscle movement returns as the body gradually metabolises the product, and wrinkles may reappear, so repeat treatments are needed to maintain results.
