Injectable Muscle Relaxant
Botox® is the leading brand of botulinum toxin type A and is the name most commonly recognised with muscle relaxing injections, we also use Azzalure® which has been used in the UK since the early 1990’s. Botox® has been used since 1980 to treat a number of muscle disorders and can also be used to treat migraine and excessive sweating. It is a simple, non-surgical treatment that works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles and this reduces muscle activity that causes lines and wrinkles to form, allowing the overlying skin to appear smooth and line free.
Recommend For:
Relaxing the glabellar or frown lines between the brows, smoothing out crows feet and
laughter lines, lifting the jawline, raising the tip of the nose, improving an upturned or dimpled chin, smoothing lines on the décolletage area, reducing excessive sweating.
Results:
The appearance of frown lines and other treated areas will be dramatically improved within three to five days of treatment. The skin will appear smoother and unlined whilst untreated facial muscles work as usual to allow the normal facial expression to be unaffected by the treatment.
Recovery Time:
Some minimal bruising may be experienced following treatment but side effects are rare. Occasionally a mild headache
may be experienced although muscle relaxing injections are used to successfully treat migraine in some patients. In less than 1% of patients a temporary droop of the brow or eyelid may occur.
How Often:
The effects can last three to four months and then repeat injections will be needed to maintain the effects. After several treatments, the effects will begin to last longer and repeat treatments may only be required every six months. At About Face we take a ‘less is more’ approach and to avoid a frozen forehead we always see patients two weeks following the initial treatment to check the results and top-up if required.
