Injectables - Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Botulinum toxin, the primary ingredient in muscle relaxing injections, is a popular non-surgical treatment for wrinkles and fine lines. It effectively treats wrinkles caused by muscle movement, particularly in the upper face, as well as areas around the mouth, chin, and neck.
Enhanced facial rejuvenation
In hopes of achieving complete facial rejuvenation, muscle relaxing injections can be combined with other therapies, such as dermal fillers. This combination often produces better results because each treatment acts differently to produce more complete and natural-looking results.
How do muscle relaxer injections work?
While the procedure is simple, precision is needed. A thin needle is used to inject botulinum toxin into the targeted muscle, which blocks nerve impulses and relaxes the muscle. Wrinkles are less noticeable as the muscle relaxes and the skin beneath it softens. Natural facial expressions are maintained because the untreated facial muscles continue to contract normally.
The effects of muscle relaxant injections usually last for 3 to 4 months and start to show within 5 to 12 days. Smooth, rested-looking skin is maintained with regular treatments at the earliest indication of muscle reactivation.
Before and after the procedure
Before and after the procedure
Patients should avoid alcohol, blood thinners, aspirin, and vigorous activity prior to the procedure in order to lower the risk of bruises. For 24 hours following the procedure, it is crucial that you avoid from touching or massaging the treated area, vigorous exercise, saunas, and hot baths. After a few days, patients should return to their regular activities and monitor the results.
An inventive and efficient method to minimise wrinkles and fine lines, muscle relaxing injections support the preservation of a youthful appearance and self-esteem. Experience the remarkable effects that correctly administered botulinum toxin can produce.
