Muscle relaxants are used to prevent permanent wrinkles from forming. This occurs when we use our facial muscles to contort, creating lines which can develop into permanent lines with overuse.
Many people develop permanent lines on their forehead (frown lines), in between their eyebrows (glabella), around their eyes (crow’s feet) and around their mouth (smokers lines) where regular use and expression occurs.
Muscle relaxants are designed to reduce the overuse of muscles and formation of wrinkles without sacrificing total movement.
There are three brands of muscle relaxants currently sold in Australia. These products are presented as a crystalline powder to which saline is added before injection. When injected intramuscularly at therapeutic doses, it produces partial loss of nerve supply of the muscle resulting in a localised reduction in muscle activity.
What Are Muscle Relaxants?
Anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles in your skin which works to smooth out any facial wrinkles you may have.
By relaxing the muscles that have caused these lines, wrinkles will either improve or in some cases completely disappear. This will depend on how deep they are to start with. Regular treatments can help to prevent lines from deepening over time.
