What are muscle relaxants?
Muscle relaxants are injectable treatments that temporarily reduce the activity of specific facial muscles. As a result, wrinkles caused by facial expressions become less visible and the skin takes on a smoother appearance.
The treatment is often used for frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet around the eyes. In addition, muscle relaxants can also be used for medical or functional indications such as teeth grinding, excessive sweating, or a tense jawline.
The goal of the treatment is not to remove all movement from the face, but to create a fresh, relaxed, and natural appearance.
