Muscle relaxing solution is an incredibly popular treatment that can improve fine lines and wrinkles from expressive areas of the face. It’s so popular, in fact, that you may have heard of it but have no idea how it works or achieves its results. If this is the case, we at Unico Aesthetic would like to shed some light on how this treatment works!

What it is

Muscle relaxing solution is a prescription-only medication used to soften lines and wrinkles in the face. It is a medical neuroprotein, hence why it is only available through prescription from a medical professional or independent prescriber. It comes in liquid form, and this is how we perform our treatments with it.

How it works

It works by limiting the movement of the muscles injected. It does this by hindering some of the signals sent between the injected muscle and the brain, so that it is unable to contract as animatedly as before. You can still retain some movement, but the overall effect is a softening of movement and thereby a softening of wrinkles.

Who is suitable for treatment

All treatments require a face to face consultation with a medical practitioner to ascertain where you would like the treatment and whether you are suitable. After your consultation, we allow a cooling off period so that you may consider everything we discus. After this time, you may return for a treatment if you are happy you have had all of your questions answered.

How long it lasts for

It is not permanent, so you can expect to see your results for 4 – 6 months. The protein is gradually flushed away by your body over time. Lifestyle factors such as the quality of your skin, sun exposure, and habits like smoking can affect how long your results last.

Treatable Areas

Muscle relaxing solution is commonly use in areas like the forehead to soften lines created when you raise your eyebrows, frown lines between the brows, and to soften the appearance of crow’s feet. These are the areas of the face with the most expressive muscles, as it is particular animated facial expression that create the wrinkles.

The side effects

There are some side effects of Muscle relaxing solution that we make our clients aware of during the consultation process. You may experience some mild flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, and headaches, but these are normal and should subside within a day. You may also experience some itchiness or discomfort in the treated area, but it is advised not to rub or itch it. There may also be small bruises at the injection points, but again these should subside within 2 – 3 days of treatment too.
