What are muscle relaxing treatments?

​

Botulinum Toxin A, commonly known as Botox, is a prescription-only medication used in aesthetic medicine to relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. By blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, Botox temporarily smooths fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the forehead, eyes, and mouth. This popular treatment is also used to address various medical conditions, offering both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits.

 

What does treatment with muscle relaxing treatments involve?

 

Botulinum Toxin A injections are administered using a fine needle to target specific areas of the face or body. The procedure is quick, with the number of injections determined by the area being treated and the desired result. For aesthetic treatments, Botox is most used to relax the muscles that cause expression lines and wrinkles.

​

What Conditions Do Muscle Relaxing Treatments Address?

 

In addition to smoothing wrinkles, Botox injections are used to treat a range of medical conditions, such as:

• Cervical dystonia (neck spasms)

• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

• Overactive bladder

• Lazy eye (strabismus)

• Chronic migraines

What to Expect During the Procedure?

 

The treatment is non-invasive and typically involves minimal discomfort. Your qualified Nurse will use a thin needle to inject Botulinum Toxin A into targeted areas of the skin or muscles. The number of injections depends on the size of the treatment area. The procedure is quick, usually taking 15-20 minutes, and there's no downtime, allowing you to resume your

normal activities immediately.

​

Is Botox Safe and What is the Recovery Time?

 

When administered by a trained and experienced professional, Botox injections are safe and highly effective. There’s no significant recovery time required, and any mild redness or swelling at the injection site typically resolves within hours. You can continue with your regular activities right after treatment.
