How Wrinkle Relaxers Work
Wrinkle relaxers work by temporarily reducing the communication between the nerve and targeted muscle. This limits muscle contraction, which may soften the appearance of existing lines and help reduce the formation of new lines over time. Effects are temporary and gradually wear off.
How Long Do Results Last?
Longevity varies depending on the treatment area, dosage, and individual response. Results may last approximately 3–5 months, with initial effects often noticed within 7–10 days and optimal results typically seen around 14–21 days. Individual results vary.

For first-time patients at The WHITE ROOM Clinic, a comprehensive consultation is required to assess suitability, discuss treatment goals, and establish realistic expectations.
Once a treatment plan is agreed upon, the procedure itself generally takes 15–20 minutes, with no expected downtime.
