Muscle Relaxing Injections
Overview
Muscle Relaxing Injections
The skin losing elasticity as you age causes wrinkles over time. The long term effects of muscle contractions from smiling, frowning and laughing also causes wrinkles. Furthermore, sun damage and smoking may worsen the condition. Surgeons use different injection methods to reduce wrinkles and give a smoother, more youthful complexion, and these injections will gradually take effect over a week or two. One method blocks the nerve impulses that cause muscle contraction, thus effectively paralysing certain facial muscles and smoothing the nearby skin.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a simple and effective solution to improve certain effects of ageing or stress. However, the effect of this temporary improvement wears off gradually so you may need to repeat treatments to maintain results. Mr Nduka will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different treatment options to help you decide which is best for you.
