With the introduction of RELFYDESS™, clients on Auckland’s North Shore now have access to one of the newest advancements in anti-wrinkle injectable treatments. While Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® have long been trusted options for reducing facial wrinkles, RELFYDESS™ offers several innovations that may appeal to those seeking faster results and longer-lasting outcomes.
Understanding how these treatments compare can help you decide which option may be best suited to your aesthetic goals.
How Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work
All four treatments — RELFYDESS™, Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® — belong to a class of medicines known as botulinum toxin type A. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles responsible for expression lines.
When the targeted muscles relax, the skin above them appears smoother, helping reduce the appearance of wrinkles such as:
Frown lines between the eyebrows
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet around the eyes
The result is a softer, refreshed appearance while still maintaining natural facial movement.
What Makes RELFYDESS™ Different?
RELFYDESS™ represents a newer generation of anti-wrinkle injectable technology, offering several key features that set it apart.
Liquid-Stable High Purity Formulation
RELFYDESS™ is designed as a liquid-stable, high-purity formulation, which allows for precise dosing and consistent results during treatment.
Faster Visible Results
Many clients begin noticing visible improvement within 24 hours, making RELFYDESS™ one of the faster-acting anti-wrinkle injectable options currently available.
Longer-Lasting Results
Clinical data suggests results may last up to six months, allowing some clients to maintain smoother skin with fewer treatments each year.
Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®: Trusted Treatments
While RELFYDESS™ is a newer option, Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® remain widely used and trusted treatments around the world.
Botox®
Botox® is the most recognised anti-wrinkle treatment globally and has been used safely in aesthetic medicine for many years. Results typically begin appearing within 3–5 days and generally last 3–4 months.
Dysport®
Dysport® can sometimes act slightly faster than traditional Botox® and is often used for treating larger areas such as the forehead.
Xeomin®
Xeomin® is often described as a “purified” botulinum toxin, containing fewer accessory proteins. This can be beneficial for patients who may have developed resistance to other treatments.
Choosing the Right Anti-Wrinkle Treatment on the North Shore
The most suitable treatment depends on several factors, including:
Your facial anatomy
The areas being treated
Desired duration of results
Previous injectable treatments
For clients on the North Shore looking for a newer option with fast onset and potentially longer-lasting results, RELFYDESS™ may be an appealing alternative. However, established treatments like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® remain excellent choices for many patients.
