When is a muscle relaxant used?
A muscle relaxant is injected with a very fine needle by a doctor into the correct spot. The goal is to temporarily prevent the muscle that causes the wrinkle (such as frown lines or forehead wrinkles) from activating. This makes the wrinkle less visible and prevents the groove from worsening. In cosmetic medicine, a muscle relaxant is used in many treatments. It is also used for:
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Defined jawline with Botox (Nefertiti lift)
Platysma bands (relaxed neck)
Botox touch-up (to optimise the treatment)
Bunny lines (wrinkles on the side of the nose toward the eyes)
Nose tip lift
Lip flip (slightly fuller lips without filler)
Many people bothered by one of the above concerns can benefit from a muscle relaxant (botulinum toxin).

How long does a muscle relaxant work?
A muscle relaxant works for most indications between 12 and 20 weeks. A muscle relaxant disrupts the connection between the nerve and the muscle (SNARE). This SNARE restores itself after 12–20 weeks, depending on the specific treatment. The doctor can explain everything during a consultation. Read here how muscle relaxants work.
Well-known muscle relaxants
In the United Arab Emirates, it is estimated that more than 400,000 muscle-relaxing treatments were performed in 2021. It is therefore a commonly performed treatment. For clarity, muscle relaxants are usually indicated in “zones.” Frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles are each considered one zone.
If you are interested in a muscle-relaxing treatment, you first attend a consultation at the clinic. You explain your wishes and expectations, after which the doctor discusses the options and pricing. A muscle-relaxing treatment usually takes less than 15 minutes. A small bruise may appear around the injection site.
Muscle relaxants (botulinum toxin) have been widely used in the medical field for about 40 years. It is one of the most scientifically studied treatments. For medical treatments, the botulinum toxin dose is much higher than in cosmetic treatments. Overall, botulinum toxin is considered a treatment with a high safety profile, provided it is administered professionally by a qualified doctor.
