What clients typically ask.
Answers below are summaries of widely accepted clinical practice. Your specific plan is always confirmed in consultation.
What are muscle relaxing injections?
Muscle relaxing injections use botulinum toxin type A, a prescription-only medicine regulated in the UK, to temporarily reduce the contraction of specific facial muscles. With reduced muscle activity, the overlying dynamic lines, frown lines, forehead creasing, crow's feet, soften over time.
How does this differ from anti-wrinkle treatment?
They are the same class of treatment using the same prescription products. 'Muscle relaxing' describes the mechanism; 'anti-wrinkle' describes the outcome. The clinical protocol, the products, the prescription requirements, and the anatomy involved are identical.
Which areas can be treated?
The most common areas are the glabella (frown lines between the brows), the frontalis (horizontal forehead lines), and the orbicularis oculi (crow's feet). Off-label applications include the masseter for jaw slimming, the platysmal bands of the neck, and a subtle upper-lip flip.
How long do results last?
Onset is typically 3 to 5 days, with full effect at 14 days. Duration is usually 3 to 4 months, influenced by dose, individual metabolism, muscle mass, and physical activity. A 14-day review is included to assess symmetry.
Who should not have treatment?
Contraindicated in pregnancy, breastfeeding, neuromuscular conditions such as myasthenia gravis, active infection at the injection site, and known hypersensitivity to any product component. Full medical history reviewed at consultation.
