Since wrinkle removal treatment involves relaxing the muscles to prevent skin creasing, the relaxed muscles actually weaken over time, and will not be able to contract as much as they used to. Even when the effects of the treatment begin to fade, lines and wrinkles may slightly re-appear, but they still won’t be as prominent as they were before treatment.
Naturally, the skin undergoes a healing process, where it repairs the damaged collagen beneath the wrinkles and will smoothen any wrinkles and lines in the area. If a patient chooses to maintain their results with multiple treatments over time, the results will become more visible, and some individuals may notice that the lines and wrinkles have faded completely.
As the wrinkles and lines in the treatment areas are caused by the skin creasing due to the contracting muscles, no new wrinkles and lines will form, either. So, not only does the treatment create smoother skin in the short-term, it can provide preventative measures in the long-term, as well.
