MUSCLE & WRINKLE RELAXING INJECTIONS
Muscle & wrinkle relaxing injctions
One of the most effective and popular cosmetic treatments is the administration of a muscle relaxant called botulinum toxin type A - commonly known as botox - to treat lines and wrinkles, hypertrophy of the masseter muscle, headaches and neck pain by causing a temporary paralysis of muscles lasting for up to 4 months. Muscle relaxants are also used to diminish the intensity of excessive sweating. It is a prescription medication and a safe procedure so long as it is administered by a trained and experienced practitioner.
Facial muscles are dynamic and move expressing our emotions, during speech or movement of eyes and neck. Facial wrinkles may appear as early as 25 years of age and worsen with age. This is caused by skin ageing and over expressive movement of the facial muscles whilst smiling, raising eyebrows, frowning, whistling or laughing.
Muscle relaxing injections using aim to relax muscles and wrinkles. The treated muscles become weaker and less prominent like when you discontinue exercising regularly in the gym. This results in smoother skin and can prevent dynamic wrinkles becoming static and visible even without movement.
Successful administration of botulinum toxin depends on the dose injected and the skills and experience of the injector, it requires knowledge of pharmacology and the anatomy of the facial muscles to assure a safe and desirable outcome.
Mechanism of action of botulinum toxin involves inhibition of acetylcholine a neurotransmitter in the injected muscle and temporary paralysis. The amount of the toxin used for this indication is sufficient to inhibit movement of the injected muscles without causing any systemic toxicity and is safe as long as the injector understands facial muscles anatomy and is trained and experienced to administer it safely without causing undesirable outcome.
Botulinum toxin is injected using disposable, sterile syringes with very fine needles into specific points on the face corresponding with muscles which movement causes wrinkles. Dosages may be adjusted depending on the strength of muscles. In some cases, higher dose may have to be administered which is more common in men.
The result will start being noticeable within 7 days after treatment and will last up to 4 months. Successful treatment will result in a relaxed and fresh look without any frozen facial expressions or loss of movement.

Botulinum toxin can be used to correct asymmetrical or droopy eyebrows making eyes look more open and fresher.
Another common indication is lifting corners of the mouth. This treatment can help to make eyes look more open and fresher. Another common indication is lifting corner of the mouth.
Toxin is skilfully injected into specific facial muscles in upper and lower face resulting in fresher less tired look.
Jaw clenching results in hypertrophy of masseter muscle located in lower face above the jawline giving face broader, square shape which is less desirable in women. Relaxation of the masseter muscle using botulinum toxin type A can help to achieve more desirable triangular, heart shape of the face and reduction of symptoms such as pain caused by teeth clenching and grinding. It usually requires 3 treatments every 4 months following which the muscle bulk becomes reduced resulting in more ovals shape of the face.
A gummy smile, is an excessive display of the gums when speaking or smiling resulting in perceived less attractive smile making individuals affected self conscious.

Nasal flare during a facial expression is normal. Excessive nasal flare can be improved with muscle relaxing injections into muscles that pull the nasal tip down and pull the nostrils laterally. The outcome is a temporary paralysis of these muscles and reduction of the nostril flare and more delicate appearance of the nose.
The depressor septi muscle is a small muscle on the underside of the nasal septum, which is responsible for lowering the tip of the nose and constricting the nostrils. The action of this muscle can worsen the natural drooping of the tip of the nose that occurs with ageing. By administering muscle relaxing injections just beneath the septum of the nose it can produce lift of the tip.
Platysmal bands / Nefertiti Neck Lift -
Platysmal bands are the vertical bands down the front of the neck and are responsible for the downward pull. Injections of muscle relaxant using a neuromodulator are used to smooth out crepey skin, fine lines and to sharpen outline of jawline.

Chin dimpling ( chin puckering) -
Chin dimpling forms as we age due to fat loss in and around the chin area. They can also appear in younger people due to an overactive mentalis muscle or acne scars. As the chin is pulled up with the mentalis muscles, a dimpling effect is achieved. This is also known as peau d’orange or golf ball chin. Chin dimpling can be diminished with muscle relaxing injections.
