Advanced Muscle Relaxing Treatment

Advanced muscle relaxing treatment can address multiple concerns that arise as a result of overactive muscle activity. Muscle relaxing neuromodulating treatment can be used to address the following concerns:

Jawline Slimming

The jaw area can be streamlined to create a softer and more feminine-looking jawline, particularly if you have an angulated or square jawline area as a result of bulky jaw muscles from involuntary tooth clenching and grinding habits, which can result in an enlarged appearance in the lower third of the face. Once administered to specific areas of the jaw, the muscles in this area can relax and grinding and clenching are reduced.

Jaw Pain

Muscle relaxing treatment can help relieve a condition known as TMJ disorder, which affects the temporomandibular joint, which is the hinge connecting the jaw to the lower face. Once the neuromodulator is injected, unconscious jaw activity is reduced (though treatment will not affect your chewing facility when you eat).

Gummy Smile

A gummy smile is when an excessive amount of gum is revealed when you show your teeth. Muscle relaxing treatment can be used to reduce the height of the lips, creating a natural-looking and balanced gum and tooth ratio.

Dimpled Chin

Dimples that appear on the chin (which can be due to genetics, ageing, or both) can make the skin appear cramped and uneven in texture. Dr Ayesha can administer the treatment to soften these dimples and lines, leaving you with resurfaced skin texture and younger-looking skin in this area.

Downturned Mouth

Skin ageing and the loss of strength in the set of muscles in the jaw area can result in sagging skin around the corners of the mouth, leaving you looking perpetually unhappy, sad, and even angry. Drooping skin at each corner of the mouth can be lifted to counteract this, leaving you with a refreshed lower face and mouth area. Dermal fillers in the cheek area are also a great complementary treatment alongside this, enhancing the structure of the lower face even further.

Perioral Lines

Lines around the mouth (perioral lines) can be lifted and smoothened out to improve the overall structure of the area of skin around the mouth.

Neck Bands

The neck is one of the biggest giveaway areas for signs of ageing. Muscle relaxing treatment can tighten and lift loose skin in this area.

FAQs

How does Advanced Muscle Relaxing treatment work?

Advanced muscle relaxing treatments are for more comprehensive lifting and wrinkle reduction. Also known as neuromodulating treatment, they can also tackle conditions caused by muscle overactivity, including gummy smiles, jaw pain and clenching, and tooth grinding.

When used for skin rejuvenation, the neuromodulating substance will temporarily prevent the formation of new wrinkles, creating a subtle lifting effect at targeted sites across the face.
