What Are the Side Effects of Wrinkle Relaxer Injections - Everything You Should Know – IV Wellness Lounge Clinic Dubai
Wrinkle Relaxer injections are one of the most popular and effective aesthetic treatments available today—used for smoothing wrinkles, slimming the jawline, and even treating excessive sweating or migraines. While Wrinkle Relaxer is FDA-approved, safe, and non-surgical, like any medical procedure, it can come with temporary side effects.
At IV Wellness Lounge Clinic Dubai, we prioritize safety, education, and full transparency. Here’s what you need to know before your treatment.
What Is Wrinkle Relaxer and How Does It Work?
Wrinkle Relaxer is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. It works by temporarily relaxing specific muscles, which reduces dynamic wrinkles and treats medical concerns like bruxism, hyperhidrosis, and migraines.
When administered correctly by experienced professionals, Wrinkle Relaxer is highly safe—but understanding its potential side effects is key to making an informed decision.
