Wrinkle Relaxers Vs. Dermal Fillers

Wrinkle relaxers, or neuromodulators, are designed to temporarily inhibit facial muscle contractions, resulting in wrinkles formed by these contractions. By targeting the muscles responsible for these wrinkles, wrinkle relaxers can help you achieve a smoother appearance on your forehead, around the eyes, and more. Typically, the effects of wrinkle relaxers last about three to six months.

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, focus on adding volume to your face. These injectables are ideal for softening wrinkles and restoring a more youthful appearance. Additionally, dermal fillers can plump up thin lips and add definition to facial features such as your cheeks or jawline.

Benefits of Injectable Treatments

The benefits of your treatment will vary based on whether you receive a wrinkle relaxer or a dermal filler. Some of the benefits associated with both options include the following:

Replenished volume to areas including the lips, cheeks, and chin

Softened wrinkles
Reduced visible aging
Minimal downtime
Facial rejuvenation with no incisions or anesthesia

A nurse injector on our team will evaluate your unique signs of facial aging to recommend the right option to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Wrinkle Relaxers at Richard H. Lee Plastic Surgery

BOTOX®

BOTOX® is a popular neuromodulator that effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its primary active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, temporarily blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. As a result, treated muscles relax, and the skin appears smoother.

The specific treatment areas where BOTOX® is commonly used include:

Forehead lines
Crow's feet
Frown lines (also known as "11" lines between eyebrows)

The BOTOX® treatment process is quick, often taking just 15 to 30 minutes. Most patients see results within 3 to 7 days; the effects last approximately 3 to 6 months.

Dysport®

Another wrinkle relaxer option offered at Richard H. Lee Plastic Surgery is Dysport®. Like BOTOX®, Dysport® uses botulinum toxin type A to temporarily block nerve signals that lead to muscle contractions, helping smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.

Key treatment areas for Dysport® include:

Forehead lines
Crow's feet
Frown lines

While the application of Dysport® and BOTOX® may be similar, some patients find that Dysport® offers a slightly faster onset of results (1 to 3 days, compared to BOTOX's 3 to 7 days). The duration of Dysport® effects is also comparable to BOTOX®, lasting around 3 to 6 months.

SELPHYL PRFM Injectable Treatments

The SELPHYL Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) is an advanced injectable treatment that harnesses your body's natural healing abilities to rejuvenate your skin and enhance its overall appearance. Utilizing the potent growth factors in your blood platelets can effectively address various cosmetic concerns such as volume loss, wrinkles, and scars.

It begins with a small blood draw, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. The extracted platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is combined with a specialized gel to create the PRFM. This matrix is skillfully injected into targeted areas, stimulating collagen production and initiating a natural healing response.

There are several significant advantages to consider when contemplating SELPHYL PRFM injectable treatments:

It is a non-surgical procedure that involves only a small blood draw and injections, providing a great alternative to more invasive treatments and surgeries
Since SELPHYL PRFM is derived from your own blood, it is biocompatible and reduces the risk of allergic reactions or complications
Users often experience improvements in skin tone, texture, and volume, with results lasting up to 12 months or more
Most individuals can resume their daily activities shortly after treatment, with minimal side effects and downtime
Furthermore, PRFM effectively addresses hair loss by naturally stimulating the development of stem cells and prolonging the growth cycle
