Wrinkle treatment at montis medical
Our facial expressions express a variety of feelings, such as happiness, anger, boredom, rage and sadness. Over time, these expressions leave their mark on the face. The result is frown lines, forehead or thinking lines or wrinkles around the eyes. These wrinkles become deeper and deeper due to permanent or repeated tension in the facial muscles. In addition, the elasticity of the skin decreases with age and the effect of gravity increases the appearance of wrinkles. The use of muscle relaxants helps to counteract this. Muscle relaxants enable many people to achieve a more youthful appearance and significantly reduce the extent of wrinkles. The targeted use of the muscle relaxant relaxes the facial muscles, which smooths out existing wrinkles and prevents the formation of new expression lines. This gives many people a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.
What is a muscle relaxant?
Muscle relaxants are highly effective prescription drugs that are only used by trained doctors in our practice. They are a protein that is extracted from a bacterium. This active ingredient inhibits the transmission of stimuli to the muscles, reduces skin contraction and causes it to relax. This smoothes out wrinkles so that they are no longer visible. The safety and effectiveness of muscle relaxants for aesthetic medicine have been well studied and researched. 65 participants were evaluated in 15.000 studies, with the result that the active ingredient effectively smoothes out wrinkles on the face and unwanted side effects are rare.
Muscle relaxant in aesthetics
This safe and effective active ingredient has been used successfully in aesthetic medicine for many years. This applies to the following areas of application:
- Crow's feet
- forehead wrinkle
- Frown lines
- Grinding teeth
- Migraine
- Hyperhidrosis / sweat gland treatment
Due to the constant activity of facial muscles, they dig into the skin above. Reducing muscle contraction leads to relaxation under the skin. This relieves the permanent tension in the face and can prevent a loss of elasticity. Muscle relaxants also serve as a preventative measure, meaning that treatment can be carried out even when wrinkles are just beginning to form. The resulting relief of the muscles prevents the formation of deep wrinkles. This procedure preserves the naturalness, creates a younger appearance and increases self-satisfaction.

FAQ
When does muscle relaxant work?
The treatment effect usually occurs after 48-72 hours. The maximum effect is achieved after 1-2 weeks. In exceptional cases, the effect can also occur later.
How long does muscle relaxant last?
The blockage in the muscle usually lasts 4-6 months.
How often does a muscle relaxant treatment need to be repeated?
The treatment should be repeated every 3 to 6 months, as the muscle relaxant is broken down in the body during this period. During this time, sunbathing, saunas and similar activities should be avoided, as heat can accelerate the breakdown.
Does the facial expression completely disappear after the treatment?
The exaggerated facial expressions disappear. However, the effect is by no means permanent. It is a temporary condition of the desired extent. As soon as the muscle relaxant is broken down, the complete facial expressions are back.
What complications can occur?
Side effects are rare with muscle relaxant treatment. Redness, swelling and bruising can occur at the injection sites. Too high a dose of muscle relaxant can cause headaches, nausea or severe impairment of facial expressions.
