WRINKLE RELAXERS

Achieve a Refreshed Look with Wrinkle Relaxers

Before your Wrinkle Relaxer appointment

  • Hydrate! Ensure you drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine and alcohol.
  • To avoid bruises, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements a week before treatment unless specifically recommended by your doctor. The biggest culprits for bruising are Aspirin, NSAIDs, ginkgo biloba, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamins A and E, and Fish Oil.
  • To help minimize bruising, try Arnica Montana pellets two to three days before your treatment. You can usually find Arnica Montana in Portland at the Market of Choice, Whole Foods, or Natural Grocers.
  • Hold off on more active skin care products to reduce sensitivity. We suggest avoiding:
    • Tretinoin
    • Retin-A
    • Glycolic Acid
    • Benzoyl Peroxide
    • Hydroquinone
  • If you experience cold sores, please contact us for further instructions before scheduling.

After your Wrinkle Relaxer appointment

  • It is normal to have asymmetry in treated areas initially. If this happens, things will level out in the first two weeks. During your two-week period, a member of our caring team will always text you to check in and ensure the desired results.
  • Stay upright for four hours post-injection.
  • No massaging of the treated area for 24 hours.
  • Continue to avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours.
  • Take it easy at the gym for six hours post-injection. Avoid strenuous activity.
  • Don’t panic if your spot bumps at the injection sites; they’ll vanish within a few hours.
  • Skip massages or microdermabrasion on injection day.
  • If your forehead was treated, no hats or headbands are allowed for at least four hours post-treatment.
  • You can gently cleanse your face with a non-abrasive cleaner, avoiding massaging the injected area(s). Avoid using hot water and high-pressure showers.
  • While bruising is not ideal, it will not impact your results.
  • Steer clear of cosmetics, moisturizers, or lotions until after treatment.
  • Watch out for headaches; NSAIDs or acetaminophen are okay to take.
  • We suggest regular wrinkle relaxer treatments every three to four months to maintain optimal results.
