Relfydess Botox in Dubai
Relfydess, relabotulinumtoxinA, is a next generation botulinum toxin type A treatment by Galderma. It is the first ready to use liquid neuromodulator, formulated using PEARL technology, that treats frown lines and crows feet with results visible within 24 hours and lasting up to 6 months. At Modern Aestheticss, Relfydess Botox in Dubai is administered by Dr. Shubhangi Parkar, DHA licensed consultant dermatologist.
What Is Relfydess?
Relfydess, relabotulinumtoxinA, is a prescription neuromodulator developed by Galderma, the makers of Dysport and Azzalure. It belongs to the same family as traditional botulinum toxin treatments but represents a significant step forward in how the product is formulated and delivered.
Unlike conventional Botox in Dubai, which arrives as a powder that must be mixed with saline before each treatment, Relfydess is a pre made liquid that is ready to use from the moment it reaches the clinic. This is made possible by Galderma's proprietary PEARL technology, Precipitation free Extraction and Activity preserving Refined Liquid, which removes accessory proteins and standardises the formulation at the manufacturing stage.
At Modern Aestheticss, all Relfydess treatments are performed by Dr. Shubhangi Parkar, our DHA licensed consultant dermatologist. The treatment is indicated for moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial muscle movement, specifically frown lines between the brows and crows feet around the eyes.
How Relfydess Botox Works
Dynamic wrinkles form because the same muscles contract thousands of times a day when you smile, squint, concentrate or frown. Over time these repeated movements etch lines into the skin that become visible at rest.
Relfydess works by temporarily relaxing the specific muscles responsible for these movements. The active ingredient, relabotulinumtoxinA, blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. The muscle relaxes, the overlying skin smooths and the lines soften.
Because Relfydess is a ready to use liquid, there is no dilution step and no variation introduced by mixing technique. The same standardised dose is delivered consistently from one treatment session to the next, which means your results are more predictable over time.
Treatment Areas
Relfydess is clinically indicated and validated for frown lines and crows feet, but it can be used across multiple facial areas beyond these two primary zones.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
The vertical lines that form between the eyebrows when you frown or concentrate. Clinical dosing for this area is 50 Relfydess units across 5 injection sites.
Crows Feet (Lateral Canthal Lines)
The lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes when you smile or squint. Clinical dosing for crows feet is 60 Relfydess units across 6 injection sites.
Forehead Lines
The horizontal lines that appear across the forehead during facial expression. Relfydess can be used to relax the frontalis muscle and smooth these lines as part of an upper face treatment plan.
Brow Lift
Strategic placement of Relfydess can create a subtle lifting effect on the brow by relaxing the muscles that pull it downward, opening up the eye area without surgery.
Bunny Lines
The diagonal lines that appear on the sides of the nose when you scrunch your face. A small amount of Relfydess can soften these effectively.
Lip Lines and Lip Flip
Fine vertical lines around the mouth and a subtle lip flip effect can be achieved with precise, conservative dosing around the orbicularis oris muscle.
Chin and Jaw
Relfydess can be used to soften a dimpled or pebbled chin and to address jaw tension or mild masseter hypertrophy as part of a broader facial treatment.
Combined Treatment
Frown lines and crows feet can be treated together in a single session using a total of 110 Relfydess units. For patients treating multiple areas, dosing is assessed individually for each zone and combined into one appointment where appropriate.
What to Expect
Before Your Treatment
Dr. Shubhangi Parkar will assess your facial anatomy, muscle movement patterns and skin condition during a consultation before any treatment is administered. This is not a walk in procedure. A medical review ensures Relfydess is appropriate for you and allows for accurate dosing.
During the Treatment
The injections are delivered using a fine needle. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief, mild pinch. The procedure itself takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
After Your Treatment
Results begin to appear within 24 to 48 hours for most patients. Full results settle over 10 to 14 days. A follow up review at the two week mark allows for assessment and any fine tuning if required.
Results from a single Relfydess treatment can last up to 6 months, which is meaningfully longer than the 3 to 4 months typical of standard botulinum toxin products. This means fewer clinic visits per year to maintain your results.
Relfydess Side Effects
Relfydess is a prescription medical treatment and, like all botulinum toxin products, carries a risk of side effects. Most side effects reported in clinical studies were mild and temporary.
- Headache
- Injection site bruising
- Injection site pain
- Temporary redness or swelling at the treatment sites
Treatment area specific effects can include eyelid heaviness, asymmetry or eyebrow ptosis if the product spreads beyond the intended target muscle. These are temporary and resolve as the product wears off.
Serious side effects from botulinum toxin spreading beyond the injection site are rare when the treatment is performed by a qualified medical professional using the correct technique and dosing. All Relfydess treatments at Modern Aestheticss are performed by Dr. Shubhangi Parkar under DHA guidelines. If you experience any unexpected symptoms after your treatment, contact the clinic directly.
Relfydess Before and After
What patients typically observe after treatment with Relfydess Botox in Dubai:
Day 1 to 2
Early softening of frown lines and crows feet. Some patients notice visible improvement within the first 24 hours.
Day 7
Continued improvement as the product takes full effect on the targeted muscles. Lines at rest appear noticeably smoother.
Week 2
Full results visible. This is the point at which your follow up review with Dr. Parkar takes place.
Months 2 to 6
Results are maintained with natural looking muscle relaxation. Many patients find that with Relfydess they require only two treatments per year rather than three or four.
Individual results will vary depending on muscle strength, skin condition, age, metabolism and the specific areas treated. Before and after photographs are taken at Modern Aestheticss to track your personal results across treatment cycles.

Common questions patients ask before booking Relfydess Botox in Dubai.
Is Relfydess better than Botox?
Relfydess and Botox both use botulinum toxin type A and achieve the same fundamental result, temporary muscle relaxation that softens dynamic wrinkles. Relfydess offers two clinically demonstrated advantages over traditional products. First, results appear faster, often within 24 to 48 hours rather than the 3 to 7 days typical of standard Botox. Second, results last longer, with clinical data showing that up to 75 percent of patients maintained visible improvement at 24 weeks. Whether Relfydess is the better choice for you depends on your anatomy, treatment history and goals. Dr. Parkar will advise you at consultation.
What is Relfydess Botox?
Relfydess, relabotulinumtoxinA, is a next generation botulinum toxin type A injectable treatment developed by Galderma. It uses PEARL technology to produce a ready to use liquid formulation that does not require reconstitution before use. It is clinically indicated for treating frown lines and crows feet and is designed to deliver faster onset and longer lasting results compared to conventional products.
How long does Relfydess last?
Clinical studies show that Relfydess results can last up to 6 months. The READY 1 clinical trial found that 75 percent of participants had not returned to baseline at 24 weeks. This is significantly longer than the 3 to 4 month duration typical of most standard botulinum toxin treatments, meaning many patients require only two treatments per year.
What are the side effects of Relfydess?
The most commonly reported side effects include headache, injection site bruising, temporary redness or swelling and mild pain at the injection site. Eyelid heaviness or eyebrow drooping can occur if the product diffuses beyond the intended muscle and is temporary. Serious adverse events are rare when the treatment is administered by a qualified medical professional with appropriate training in Relfydess dosing.
Is Relfydess more painful than Botox?
There is no clinical evidence that Relfydess injections are more painful than standard Botox. The injection process is similar, using a fine needle to deliver small amounts of product at specific facial points. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief, mild pinch. Any discomfort typically resolves within seconds of each injection.
What not to do after Relfydess?
After a Relfydess treatment, avoid lying flat or bending forward for at least 4 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and activities that significantly raise your heart rate or body temperature for 24 hours. Do not massage or press on the treated areas, and avoid applying makeup to injection sites for several hours. Alcohol should be avoided for 24 hours as it can increase bruising risk. Dr. Parkar will provide full aftercare instructions at your appointment.
