How does Neuromuscular relaxant treatment work?
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).
