About This Procedure

The most appropriate approach is individual and depends on your anatomy, goals, and medical history. Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations, limitations, and the evidence base for each option during consultation. Outcomes vary and no result can be guaranteed.

Key Benefits

Wrinkle relaxer treatments may temporarily reduce the activity of selected facial muscles to address dynamic expression lines. Individual outcomes vary and results typically last 3 to 4 months.

Temporary Muscle Activity Modification: The neuromodulator temporarily reduces contraction of selected facial muscles to address dynamic expression lines.
Predictable Duration: Results typically last 3 to 4 months, allowing patients to plan maintenance treatments around a predictable schedule.
Targeted Application: The neuromodulator is injected into specific muscles identified during clinical assessment. Dosing is individualised to achieve a proportional appearance while maintaining natural facial movement where possible.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate for wrinkle relaxers at COSMEX Clinic is an adult over the age of 18 who wishes to address visible expression lines in the upper face. Candidates should have a clear understanding of what the procedure involves, be in generally good health, and have realistic expectations regarding the temporary nature of the clinical outcomes. Suitability for this prescription-only treatment is assessed thoroughly during a mandatory consultation with our clinical team.

Written aftercare guidance, review appointments at 2 weeks, and discussion of maintenance treatment intervals.

Your clinician will explain the recommended approach and expected trade-offs

Your clinician will determine the appropriate sequence and placement of injections based on your facial muscle structure, ensuring proportional outcomes while preserving natural facial expression.

Individual results will be discussed transparently

Your clinician will discuss what wrinkle relaxer treatments can achieve, that results are temporary, and that individual muscle activity and metabolism influence the duration and degree of effect.
