Neuromuscular relaxant is a natural purified protein that relaxes muscles that form wrinkles, creating a younger appearance. The active ingredient is derived from bacteria in much the same way penicillin is derived from mould. It is manufactured in sterile conditions.

When we make facial expressions like smile or frown, the movement of certain facial muscles result in the appearance of wrinkles. The wrinkles that form during facial expressions are called dynamic wrinkles. Neuromuscular relaxant can be used to relax specific facial muscles. Once these muscles are relaxed, these dynamic wrinkles do not form and new lines are also prevented from developing. Neuromuscular relaxant is very effective for: Frown lines and forehead wrinkles; crow’s feet (smile lines around the eyes); bunny lines(nasal scrunch), facial contouring(square jaw).
You will still be able to make facial expression, and look natural. The only difference is that the lines are smoothened.
A small amount of Neuromuscular relaxant is administered into selected facial muscles by a trained doctor using a very fine needle. Generally, a treatment takes about 10-20 minutes. Discomfort is usually minimal and no prior anaesthesia is required. Within 3-7 days, you will notice a softening in the appearance of your frown lines.
The side effects from Neuromuscular relaxant are generally minor and temporary. It is common to have slight redness, swelling and bruising over the injection points. These effects will usually go away within 1-2 days.
The effect from Neuromuscular relaxant usually lasts for about 4 months before the lines slowly begin to return.
Neuromuscular relaxant can also be used to achieve a slimmer-looking, V-shaped facial contour, as well as treatment of sweaty palms and sweaty underarms.
