The Muscle Relaxant
The anti-wrinkle injections, when injected into the muscles under facial lines, relaxes the muscles (which are causing the lines).
It has become increasingly popular all over the world as it provides a more youthful appearance with very few side effects. It is typically used for lines around the eyes such as frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet (smile lines).
The treatment takes around 4 days to take effect, and typically lasts 3-6 months. The Anti-wrinkle injection is a temporary muscle relaxant and its effect gradually decreases over time. It is recommended to have another treatment of the anti-wrinkle injections once the effect has worn off to keep your desired youthful look.
The product that relaxes the muscle is a natural, purified protein. It blocks the messages sent from nerves to the muscles, to prevent the muscles contracting. This reduces or removes wrinkles and creases. The relaxing effect on the muscles creates a smooth, rejuvenated and more youthful appearance.
This simple non-surgical procedure is equally effective on both men and women.
This product has been used worldwide since 1980 with over 18,000 patients treated for eyelid spasm or facial spasm. Its use for cosmetic purpose is highly effective and is also now practiced worldwide. More than 23 million treatments have been performed.
