Wrinkle relaxers are derived from botulism toxin which has an effect on the muscle-nerve junction. When injected in that region, the muscle is paralyzed for approximately three months. This helps the body eliminates the creases that have formed as a result of repeated muscle activity. These muscles are the frontalis for the forehead lines, the obicularis oculi for the smile line, and the glabellar area muscles for the frown “elevens” lines. The current wrinkle relaxers on the market are Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. Their effect is very similar, and there is not superiority between one relaxer and another as long as appropriate doses are done. The wrinkle relaxers typically are repeated every three months, although many people go longer than that between treatments.
