The newest generation of anti-wrinkle injectable — now available at Embrace Cosmetics
Relfydess is a next-generation anti-wrinkle injectable containing relabotulinumtoxinA, a prescription medicine approved by Medsafe New Zealand. It is designed to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles responsible for expression lines, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.
What sets Relfydess apart is its ready-to-use liquid formulation — the first of its kind among neuromodulators in New Zealand. This eliminates the need for reconstitution before injection, allowing for precise, consistent dosing with every treatment. Relfydess delivers natural-looking results with minimal downtime, making it an excellent option for clients across Glenbrook, South Auckland, and the Franklin district.
Your Relfydess treatment begins with a consultation at our Glenbrook clinic. I'll assess your concerns, discuss your goals, and recommend a personalised treatment plan. This consultation is obligation-free — there's no pressure to proceed if you're not ready.
Relfydess is administered via small, precise injections into targeted facial muscles. The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes with minimal discomfort. Because Relfydess is a ready-to-use liquid, there's no preparation time — the treatment can begin as soon as you're ready.
You can return to your normal routine immediately after treatment. You may notice small bumps at the injection sites, which typically settle within 15-30 minutes. Mild redness or swelling is possible but resolves quickly. I recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying flat, or touching the treated areas for the rest of the day.
