Which Facial Lines Are Suitable For Muscle Relaxant Injections?
Muscle-relaxant injections will either improve or remove those facial wrinkles due to repetitive muscle action. The main ones are: • vertical ‘frown lines’ between the eyebrows • horizontal forehead (‘surprise’) lines • the ‘crows feet’ at the sides of the eyes • lines under the eyes • ‘bunny crunches’ on the upper nose By relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for these lines, the lines will either improve or completely disappear depending on how deep they were to start with. Also, if you keep the responsible muscles inactive by way of regular treatments the lines will not deepen with time. Other uses of muscle relaxants include the correction of: • vertical neck bands • ‘gummy’ smiles (excessive display of gums on smiling) • ‘canine’ smiles (a ‘snarling’ type of smile) • ‘turned down’ corners of the mouth • flared nostrils • hyperhidrosis (excessive perspiration of under-arms, hands and feet) Please note that the injection only prevents those muscles into which it is injected fr
