Wrinkle relaxers are botulinum toxin injections that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for causing fine lines and wrinkles. By reducing muscle activity, they help soften existing lines and prevent new ones from forming.
-
Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. They add volume, smooth out lines, and enhance facial contours by replenishing lost fullness and providing hydration.
-
The effects of wrinkle relaxers typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on the individual and the area treated. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the results.

Dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated, the type of filler used, and your body's metabolism. Some areas, like the lips, may require touch-ups sooner.

We understand that the thought of needles can be daunting. At The Glow Space, we use very fine needles for both wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers to minimise discomfort. Most clients find the treatment to be quick and manageable. We also offer a topical numbing cream for dermal filler to help ease any pain or anxiety you may have, ensuring a comfortable experience. Your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities.

The recovery time can differ depending on the treatment. Bruising is possible with all treatments, and with fillers, you might experience some bruising and swelling that usually settles within 3-7 days. It's also recommended to avoid exercise for 24 hours after any injectable treatment.
