Why does my skin look shiny after wrinkle management treatments?
Excessive use of wrinkle management treatments, especially in the forehead, can result in a shiny appearance of the skin. When you receive too many treatments in the one sitting, it relaxes the muscle (see our ‘How wrinkle management treatments work’ article), and the skin can become overly smooth, reflecting light uniformly like a mirror’s surface. In contrast, when light hits wrinkly skin, it bounces off at a variety of angles, making it appeared matte and dull.
To avoid the shiny or frozen look, it is important to approach forehead lines with caution. A more conservative treatment approach can soften the lines while preserving natural movement, resulting in a more natural and subtle outcome.
