| Our treatment reversibly freezes or relaxes the muscle. Therefore it may be used to treat facial lines caused primarily by muscles that have no signature function. An example of this is deep creases between the eyebrows, crows feet wrinkles and forehead lines. | ![]() |
Injecting into frown lines has proven to be successful. Results may be obtained after a single injection session which may last three to six months. The effect of the injection may take up to 21 days to work. Some patients with very powerful muscles may not see a complete relaxation of the targeted areas, but subsequent injections will further weaken them. In rare cases, some patients may need a repeat injection within four weeks if there has been little response.

We use a specially prepared solution and when injected into a Muscle it leads to temporary muscular relaxation. This produces an improvement in wrinkling in the face caused by the actions of facial muscles.

The treatment temporarily blocks the nerve endings to the facial muscles relaxing them. By reducing muscle movement, the skin stops being creased and is allowed to recover, causing the lines to soften and fade away. Over time the patient can retrain the facial muscles to be less expressive by breaking the habit of subconscious overuse.
The treatment involves injecting very small doses via an extremely fine needle into the appropriate area. This sometimes causes a brief stinging sensation. Discomfort is so mild that anesthesia is not required. Normal activity can be resumed immediately after the procedure. The full effect on the muscle develops over the following 2-14 days.
Gradually over 4-6 months the effects will fade and the muscle action will return. When the lines start to re-appear a simple repeat treatment is required to maintain the effect.
No serious side effects have ever been reported, when using our cosmetic treatments. Minor side effects occur in a small number of patients and are always fully reversible within a few days to a few weeks. Immediately after the injection there may be mild swelling and redness which subsides within a few days.
Bruising at the injection site may occur; this can be covered with makeup if needed. Rarely a temporary drooping of the eye lid may occur, this resolves within a few weeks. Very rarely following repeated injections the patient may develop antibodies to the treatment, this makes subsequent treatments ineffective.
Detailed pricing will be discussed at initial consultation.
