Some questions you may want to ask about Botulinum Toxin A treatment
Botulinum toxin A often referred to as anti-wrinkle or muscle relaxant injections is a prescription only medication / treatment. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the muscles. The muscle becomes relaxed, in turn reducing the appearance of the lines and wrinkles.
The toxin works the same way but may be referred to as either anti-wrinkle or muscle relaxant treatment.
Muscle relaxants are used to treat wrinkles and lines caused by repeated muscle movement, such as smile lines and forehead creases. They work by temporarily weakening the underlying muscles. Dermal fillers are used to plump up the skin by adding volume. They may be used to fill in wrinkles caused by sagging skin, to restore volume lost to the ageing process, or to enhance areas of the face such as the lips and cheeks.
The clinic offers various treatments to help improve damaged skin. Your practitioner will discuss various medical aesthetic treatment options with you, then offer advice on what she thinks will be the most effective way to improve the damaged area that you are concerned about.

Muscle relaxants have been used successfully to treat most areas of the face, smoothing wrinkles caused by facial muscles. Common treatment areas include frown lines, crow’s feet and horizontal lines on the forehead.
Many patients begin having the treatment once they start to notice signs of skin damage, resulting in wrinkle formation. Others wait until their wrinkles are more substantial before they start having treatment. The treatment has been used in medical aesthetics to improve and protect the skin for over 30 years. Some patients have been having the treatment regularly from the start. No patients having the treatment over a longer period of time seem to have had any negative effects.

One of the worries many patients express is that the injections will make it difficult for them to move their faces. While muscle relaxants do relax the muscle, when used correctly they will not affect your ability to frown, look surprised, and make other facial movements. When overdone, muscle relaxants can have a tendency to cause a frozen appearance. This is why it is important to choose carefully when considering aesthetic treatments. City Aesthetics Clinic only use practitioners who are skilled at using the right amount of product. You will not look as though you’ve had “work done” and will still be able to move your facial muscles.
We aim to create a natural-looking appearance. Often, people who know you well will remark that you look healthier, well-rested, or refreshed. City Aesthetics Clinics skilled practitioners are able to avoid the “overdone”, obvious, or unnatural look that can occur when too much product is injected. Instead, our patients find that the treatment leaves them looking subtly rejuvenated.

No, the result is temporary. The results last between 3 -4 months depending the facial area treated, and your body’s reaction to the toxin. It can wear off after as little as 8 weeks in some patients and it can last up to 6 months in others.
This depends on the area treated, and the individual client. Muscle relaxants usually last 3-4months, but in some cases can last as little as 8 weeks or can last up to 6 months.
The results of muscle relaxant injections generally last 3-4 months, depending on the area treated. As its effects wear off, the skin will return to its natural, pre-treatment state. If you decide against further injections, your skin will be left in the same condition it was before treatment; it will not be any more wrinkled than it was before treatment.
You need to have at least 12 weeks between one full treatment to the next. If you are exposed to the toxin too frequently your body can create antibodies to fight against the treatment resulting in resistance stopping it from working.
Anti-wrinkle injections will naturally wear off over time, approximately 3-4 months.

Immediately afterwards, minor side effects such as redness, swelling, and bruising are common. The treated area may also feel tender. These effects usually last 2-3 days and do not prevent clients from returning to work and other normal activities.

Muscle relaxant or anti-wrinkle treatment may be right for you if you have facial wrinkles, such as crows feet or horizontal forehead creases and frown lines. If you have very deep lines when your face is relaxed then it is unlikely to make a lot of difference This treatment is not effective for loss of skin elasticity or volume. If you are looking for a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that will smooth out wrinkles and achieve younger looking skin, Anti-wrinkle injections could be for you.
