Frequently Asked Questions

Q How does an injectable muscle relaxant work?

A By blocking the nerve impulses to any muscle injected, thus causing the muscle to stop contracting, the result is a smoother, much improved appearance at the injected site.

Q How long will the effects of the injection last?

A Results will be evident 24-48 hours after treatment. Most people find that treatment lasts for approximately three months.

Q Is it safe? And what about side effects?

A The safety of injectable muscle relaxant is very well established, having been practiced for more than two decades. Complications are rare and minor, usually occurring at the site of the injection, and consisting of brief pain and occasional bruising. The most common side effect is a minor headache. Very rarely heaviness in the eyebrow area can be experienced, but this is temporary and reversible within days.

Q Will it hurt?

A The treatment area will be numbed with ice prior to injection. Miniscule needles are used to minimise discomfort and every care is taken to ensure that the procedure is swift and painless.

Q Will my facial expressions be affected by injectable muscle relaxants?

A Designed to smooth unwanted lines and wrinkles, normal facial mobility and expression remains. Treatment results are tailored to your personal preference.

Q How will I look immediately after treatment?

A You may have a slight redness, which will quickly settle. We offer a surgical make-up to be applied post injection.

Q Will my face be numb?

A No, there will be no sensation change.
