Anti-wrinkle muscle relaxant

Anti-wrinkle muscle relaxant is a sterile and purified version of the botulinum toxin type A. It is suitable for treating forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines, excessive sweating of the armpits and prominent jaw muscles. Special techniques can also be used to lift eyebrows and give eyes a more wide-open appearance. Injecting anti-wrinkle muscle relaxant blocks nerve impulses, thereby temporarily relaxing the muscles causing wrinkles. A smoothing effect is seen almost immediately, with the improvement continuing over the next few days. Even better, because anti-wrinkle muscle relaxants are administered with very fine needles, a small sting is all that's felt.

The full effects of these injections can be seen in five to seven days. Results will vary depending upon the severity of each patient's wrinkles and the strength of the muscles being treated. Every treatment lasts from three to six months, after which wrinkles gradually return to their former state. Consequently, it's advisable for the injections to be repeated initially about every three to four months. However, patients who have had muscle relaxant treatments over a 12 month period may only require further treatments every six months. To ensure the best possible results, Specialist Cosmetic Surgery patients are regularly followed up to assess when their next treatments should be delivered. Ensuring patients are re-treated before they return to their former state means that, over time, wrinkles are markedly reduced.
