The Effects of Wrinkle Treatments and How to Prolong Results

11 Nov 2024

Wrinkle relaxer treatments typically last between three to four months. However, some individuals may notice that the results fade sooner than expected. At Absolute Cosmetic, we understand the desire to get the most out of your cosmetic treatments, and wrinkle relaxer treatments are no exception. This often leads to the common question: Can we make the results last longer? Below, we explore common reasons why results may not last as long as anticipated and offer practical tips to help extend the effects.

 

Tips to Prolong Wrinkle Relaxer Results

  1. Immunity Development: Over time, some individuals may develop antibodies against components in the treatment, leading to reduced effectiveness. Switching to a different product may help. At Absolute Cosmetic, we offer a variety of product options that can be discussed during consultations.
  2. Fast Metabolism: Individuals with faster metabolisms may process treatments more quickly. In these cases, we may adjust the dosing or recommend more frequent touch-ups to maintain results.
  3. Injection Technique: The precision of the injection is crucial for lasting effects. At Absolute Cosmetic, our doctors and registered nurses are highly experienced, and we have an in-house training program to ensure that every treatment is performed to the highest standard.
  4. COVID-19 Impact: Although not definitively proven, some research suggests that the COVID-19 vaccine could impact the effectiveness of wrinkle relaxers due to antibody production.
  5. Perception of Aging: As skin loses elasticity with age, the effects of wrinkle relaxers may appear less noticeable, even though the treatment is still effective. At Absolute Cosmetic, we tailor treatments to each individual and offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic services. Additionally, our Skin Truth by Dr. Murray skincare range can help maintain skin health.
  6. Minimise Sun Exposure: Limiting sun exposure is essential for preventing skin aging and for maintaining the effectiveness of your treatment. UV rays can cause facial blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood circulation and accelerating the breakdown of the product.

  7. Stop Smoking: Smoking and vaping can counteract the effects of wrinkle relaxer treatments by reducing blood flow, delaying healing, and accelerating collagen loss. These habits contribute to premature aging and may make treatments less effective. A healthy lifestyle is key to achieving optimal results.
  8. Patience: It’s important to be patient, as it can take up to two weeks to see the full effects of wrinkle relaxer treatments.

 

Recap: How to Prolong Wrinkle Relaxer Results

Wrinkle relaxer treatments help reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated facial muscle movement. However, factors like metabolism, immunity, and lifestyle choices can affect how long the results last. To prolong the effects, adopting healthy habits, protecting your skin from the sun, and avoiding smoking are essential. Patience is also important, as it can take up to two weeks to see the full results. For the best outcomes, we recommend working closely with a trusted, experienced professional to ensure you’re getting the most out of your treatments.
