Cosmetic injections with muscle relaxants

Benefits of Anti-Wrinkle treatments

For more than two decades muscle relaxants have been used in aesthetic medicine to treat mimic wrinkles. Botulinum is a bacterial protein that paralyses the muscles around the treated wrinkle region for a certain period of time. Thus, during wrinkle treatment with muscle relaxant, the already existing wrinkles are smoothed and new wrinkles caused by facial expressions cannot develop.

Treatment areas for injections with muscle relaxants

Muscle relaxant is mainly used to treat wrinkles in the upper third of the face (frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, „crow’s feet“ wrinkles around the eyes). They are caused by the repeated and sometimes habitual tensing of facial muscles. Expression lines can make us look tense and exhausted. That is why more and more women and men are opting for non-surgical wrinkle treatment today.

Through the gentle wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant, wrinkles can be reduced effectively restoring a youthful and fresh appearance. Especially if the wrinkle has already penetrated deeper into the skin, additional padding of the wrinkle with a dermal filler (hyaluronic acid) may be suitable.

The muscle relaxant can also be used to treat excessive sweating, teeth grinding and in some cases even reduce migraine. Treatment with muscle relaxant can also be used to achieve a slimming of the face.

Our experienced doctors will be happy to answer your questions about treatment with muscle relaxants in a personal consultation.

Overview of M1 cosmetic injections with muscle relaxant

Below you will find an overview of all treatments with muscle relaxant. Before each treatment, our M1 doctors will provide you with a detailed consultation to discuss the treatment options in order to meet your beauty goals.

Brow lift

from CHF 199

If you want your eyes to appear larger and more attentive, you can have your eyebrows lifted without surgery. With a minimally invasive brow lift injection, you can look younger and achieve a friendlier appearance.

Bunny lines

from CHF 199

Bunny lines are the fine lines that appear when you scrunch up your nose. These fine lines have a variety of causes, but most commonly occur due to overusing certain facial muscles as we age. If you want to prevent them from occurring a muscle relaxant treatment can help.

Strawberry Chin

from CHF 199

If the skin in the chin area loses elasticity, it becomes flabbier and thinner, so that it lies closer to the chin muscle. As a result, the chin may create uneven skin textures or even loose its roundness. An anti-winkle treatment can help prevent this from happening.

Facial Slimming

from CHF 299

Also known as masseter reduction, facial slimming refers to the optical narrowing of the face by injecting muscle relaxant into the masseter (masticatory muscle). One along other benefits of this treatment is the reduction of teeth grinding.

Gummy smile

from CHF 349

An unbalanced relationship between lips, gums and teeth when smiling can be caused by a strongly developed lifting muscle, which pulls the upper lip upwards when laughing. Injections with muscle relaxant can reduce this lifting force and visually reduce the gummy smile.

Crows feet

from CHF 149

When wrinkles on the sides of the eyes become permanently visible as a result of ageing, they can be treated with a muscle relaxant. Once injected into the skin, the muscle relaxant blocks certain nerves and thus leads to muscle relaxation and smoothing of unwanted wrinkles.

Forehead Wrinkles

from CHF 199

The cause for the development of permanent forehead lines is the repeated mimic muscle movement over the years and skin ageing. Once the muscle relaxant starts working, the forehead muscles can no longer contract and the skin stays smooth and wrinkles even out.

Frown lines

from CHF 199

Vertical lines between the eyebrows and nose are called frown lines. As we get older, they may become deeper and stay visible even when not frowning, making the face look stern or angry. A quick and effective method to smooth out frown lines is the injection of muscle relaxant into the affected area.

Excessive sweating

from CHF 799

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. One cause of hyperhidrosis is thought to be overactive nerves in the problem areas triggering sweat glands when there is no need. When treated with muscle relaxant sweat glands are put into a more relaxed state and excessive sweat is no longer seen or felt at the surface of the skin.

How does a muscle relaxant in cosmetic treatment work?

Muscle relaxants paralyse the muscles around the treated area. New wrinkles are prevented from being formed and existing wrinkles are smoothed or erased completely. By applying the correct injection technique and using the precise dose of muscle relaxant, our skilled doctors can achieve the best result for their clients.

What must be considered after the treatment with muscle relaxant?

If you received an anti-wrinkle treatment keep your head upright for at least 4 hours. On the day of treatment avoid make-up, rubbing or massaging the treated area. It is recommended to avoid excess sun exposure, solariums, saunas and exercise 2-3 days after your treatment to not affect your results.

When can I expect results of a muscle relaxant treatment?

First effects can be seen approx. 3-4 days after the injection. However, you should keep in mind that the result is only fully visible after 10-14 days. Our experienced doctors will be happy to discuss your expected treatment success and to set realistic treatment goals together with you.
