Wrinkle Reduction

Muscle Relaxant Injections for Wrinkles

This procedure can have remarkable results in improving the wrinkles resulting from hyperactive facial muscles. It is used to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines and "crows feet" around the eyes.

The muscle relaxant is injected with a very fine needle. After the injection, the muscles will relax and the skin will smooth itself out over a period of 5-14 days.

The result is a softer, more relaxed and pleasant appearance. The effect usually lasts about six months and can be repeated when needed. Most patients require less frequent treatment over timeas the muscle "retrain" and weaken from disuse.
