Muscle Relaxing Injection
As part of this treatment Botulinum Toxin is injected into targeted muscles for the purpose of relaxing them. As a result the injected muscle relaxes and stops contracting as usual which results in a reduction of wrinkles caused by muscle contraction. in cosmetic practice it is most commonly used to improve the appearance of wrinkles on forehead lines, frown lines, crow feet, and neck lines.
Depending on the total area being treated muscle relaxing injections are performed over a few minutes and with correct post treatment guidelines patients are able to carry on most normal activities. The injections are administered using fine needles and in most cases do not require anaesthesia, however, numbing cream can be used if necessary to provide a more comfortable and pain free treatment.
Visible results can begin to show as early as 2 days post injection and the initial treatment results can last between 3-4 months, however, the longevity of results vary from patient to patient as a consequence of numerous factors. Subsequent injections will usually provide longer lasting results. y that’s safe, quick and best of all- virtually painless.
