COSMETIC MEDICINE
A refreshed, natural look—never overdone.
As we age, fine lines naturally develop from facial expressions like smiling, frowning, and squinting. While these lines are a sign of a life well-lived, they can sometimes make us look more tired or tense than we feel.
At Windsor Gardens Dermatology, we believe in helping you look like a refreshed version of yourself, not a heavily altered one. Our muscle relaxant treatments are designed to soften lines while maintaining natural facial expressions—so you still look like you, just well-rested.
Why You will Love it
✔ No frozen look, just a refreshed appearance.
✔ Start with low dose and titrate only if necessary.
✔ Minimal to no downtime.
About the Treatment and How it Works
This treatment involves the use of a prescription-only medicine that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines caused by repeated movements such as frowning or squinting. The goal is to soften lines while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Results typically become visible within a few days, with full effects seen at around two weeks. The effects gradually wear off, and maintenance treatments are recommended every 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does muscle relaxant treatment work?
The injection contains protein which blocks the communication between the nerve ending and the facial muscle, leading to temporary muscle relaxation. This will reduce wrinkles which come on with facial expressions.
Is muscle relaxant treatment safe?
Yes, when administered by trained medical professionals, it is considered safe and effective.
How long do results last?
Most patients see results lasting 3 to 4 months, but this varies.
Will I look unnatural?
No—our approach focuses on subtle, natural-looking results.
Is the treatment uncomfortable?
Most patients describe it as a quick and tolerable procedure with only mild discomfort with the needle injections. Ice packs can be used to reduce the discomfort during treatment.
What is the recovery time?
There is minimal downtime—most people return to daily activities immediately. Although we do not recommend vigorous activities on the same day after the procedure.
Can wrinkle prevention treatment prevent wrinkles?
Yes, regular treatments may help slow the development of static lines.
When will I see results?
Initial effects appear within a few days, with full results at two weeks.
