Relfydess wrinkle relaxing injections

With Relfydess, many patients continue to see visible softening of lines for up to six months – significantly longer than traditional wrinkle-relaxing treatments. While muscle movement may gradually return before then, there is often a delay before lines begin to reappear. It’s typically at that stage that a top-up treatment is advised.

Most patients find they only need to have treatment twice a year to maintain their results, making Reflydess a more convenient and longer-lasting option in the long term.

We often combine Relfydess with other non-surgical treatments – such as hyaluronic acid dermal fillers or targeted laser procedures – to achieve the most natural and balanced results. In many cases, the best outcomes come from a thoughtful combination approach, rather than relying on a single treatment alone.

Treatment with Relfydess is generally very well tolerated. Injections into the upper face are almost pain-free, thanks to the use of ultra-fine needles and skilled technique. Bruising is uncommon, and most patients are able to return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

The most frequently reported side effect is a mild headache, which may affect up to 1 in 10 patients. In most cases, this resolves within a day or two, though occasionally it can persist for longer. These headaches are typically mild and do not usually require any medication.

As with all botulinum toxin treatments, there is a small risk of the product affecting nearby muscles. In the upper face, this can occasionally result in temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow, though such effects are uncommon and usually resolve within a few weeks. When used in the lower face or neck, there is a small risk of temporary weakness in muscles that control the mouth or speech – though these effects are rare and also temporary.
