Information: Muscle Relaxants (Botox)

Muscle relaxants prevent muscle movements which cause dynamic wrinkles such as forehead furrowing, frown lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles around the mouth. When injected into muscular cords of the neck muscle relaxants provide a lift to the lower jaw line (Nefertiti technique).

One of the most popular muscle relaxants is a toxin derived from a bacterium. This toxin blocks impulses from the nerves to the tiny facial muscles that are responsible for the deep muscle pull creases. Consequently, the muscles relax so that the undesirable creases gradually fade away. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing desirable facial expression to be unaffected.
