An Overview of Wrinkle Relaxers
What is Botox?
Botox is a wrinkle relaxer that smooths away fine lines and wrinkles, giving your face natural revitalization. We offer injections of Botox in Des Moines to treat areas commonly affected by expression lines. This includes your forehead, between your eyebrows, and around your eyes.
Botox itself consists of a highly purified form of botulinum toxin. It temporarily interrupts communication between your muscles and your brain, allowing your face to rest and relax. Not only does Botox smooth out existing wrinkles, but it can also prevent new ones from forming!
What is Dysport?
Like Botox, Dysport relaxes your muscles to smooth away furrows and expression lines. It spreads easily, which makes it an amazing treatment for broad areas like your forehead.
Dysport also contains purified botulinum toxin that temporarily blocks nerve signals, giving you a softer, more relaxed expression. Perfect for people looking for sweeping enhancements, Dysport rejuvenates with fewer injections than Botox.
Post-Care Instructions
After receiving Botox in Des Moines, you may experience some temporary redness, bruising, tenderness, and swelling. These typically resolve on their own within half an hour.
Actions to Take
- Exercise the injection site for 1 hour post-treatment (frowning, eyebrow-raising, squinting) to ensure the muscle fully absorbs the wrinkle relaxer.
- Take an over the counter pain reliever like Tylenol if you experience any discomfort.
- Treat your skin gently for the next 24 hours. Use mild skincare products.
Actions to Avoid
- Avoid massages, facials, and upside-down yoga-style exercises for the next 4 hours to prevent the wrinkle relaxer from traveling to other areas.
- Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and other sources of intense heat for the next 24 hours.
- Refrain from exercise and strenuous physical activity for 24 hours to decrease the risk of bruising.
