Wrinkle relaxers have become one of the most talked-about cosmetic treatments in recent years — but with popularity comes plenty of misinformation. At Klinika, we hear a lot of common concerns that stem from outdated ideas or social media misconceptions.
That’s why we believe in taking an educational, evidence-based approach to aesthetic medicine. In this post, we’ll walk you through the top five myths about wrinkle relaxers — and what the reality really looks like.
Myth 1: Wrinkle Relaxers Will Make Me Look Frozen
This is by far the most common fear — and we get it. You’ve likely seen photos or stories of people who look expressionless or overdone.
The truth? When performed by a qualified professional with anatomical expertise, wrinkle relaxers actually allow for more natural expression. The goal isn’t to stop movement altogether — it’s to reduce the overactive muscle contractions that cause frown lines, crow’s feet, and deep creases.
At Klinika, we use a “less is more” approach and tailor every treatment to your facial structure. The result? A softer, rested appearance — not a frozen one.
Myth 2: Only Older People Get Wrinkle Relaxers
You might be surprised to learn that many clients in their late 20s or early 30s are already exploring preventative wrinkle treatments. Why? Because treating lines before they become deep-set can help delay the visible signs of ageing.
Younger clients often choose wrinkle relaxers to:
- Prevent frown lines or forehead creases from forming
- Maintain smoother skin with fewer fine lines
- Support long-term skin quality
And because we focus on subtle results, most people won’t even know you’ve had anything done — they’ll just think you look well-rested.
Myth 3: It’s Unsafe
All medical treatments carry risks, but wrinkle relaxers have been used for decades and are widely regarded as safe when administered correctly. In Australia, only certain healthcare professionals can prescribe and administer these treatments, and the products themselves are TGA-approved.
At Klinika, your safety is our top priority. Our team conducts a thorough consultation to determine your suitability, review your medical history, and tailor a treatment plan based on your needs and goals.
Myth 4: It’s Only for Women
Wrinkle relaxer treatments are no longer just for women. At Klinika, we see an increasing number of male clients — from their 30s through to their 60s — who want to refresh their appearance without looking like they’ve had “work” done.
Whether it’s softening forehead lines, reducing tension in the brows, or simply looking less tired, wrinkle relaxers offer men a discreet and effective option for aesthetic enhancement.
And the best part? The results don’t need to be dramatic to be noticeable.
Myth 5: The Results Are Immediate
While wrinkle relaxers work quickly, they don’t produce instant results. Most people begin to notice changes within 2–4 days, with full results developing over 10–14 days.
Why the delay? The product needs time to interact with the targeted muscle receptors. Once that happens, the treated muscles begin to relax, leading to a smoother appearance.
This waiting period is totally normal — and part of the reason we schedule follow-ups to review your results and make any minor adjustments, if needed.
