INJECTABLES
Iron-out deep wrinkles
by injections in a ten-minute session.
The best treatment
for you will depend on the area being treated and the severity of
the wrinkle, both of
which vary from individual to individual.
Muscle Relaxers are made from purified protein
derived from a bacteria. It works by inhibiting the release of a
chemical from the nerve ending (acetylcholine) that causes the
muscle to contract.
Injectable muscle relaxants are used to
treat wrinkles and work by relaxing the wrinkle-causing muscles that
cause people to frown or squint, creating an improved appearance.
Once the muscle is relaxed, you cannot contract it and continue to
make the undesirable facial expression. Thus, the cosmetic
injections gradually smooth wrinkles and prevent wrinkles from
forming again.
Its original use was to relieve incapacitating
eyelid spasms, but its cosmetic indications continue to expand,
diminishing the furrows between the eyebrows (glabella), softening
crow’s feet and forehead lines, raising the corners of the mouth,
reducing neck bands, and controlling excessive sweating.
The effect is
not immediate and may take 3 to 5 days to begin working.
Muscle Relaxers can also
be used to elevate the brows, resulting in a more youthful
appearance. This has been referred to in the literature as a
chemical brow lift. The technique of lifting the brow includes
injection of the glabellar area as described in the brow furrow
section.
