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).

She truly believes in enhancing your natural beauty rather than changing your face, and that’s exactly what I was looking for. She is incredibly professional, honest, gentle, and never makes you feel pressured into having treatments you don’t need.
One thing I really love is how transparent she is. She always shows me the products before injecting them, explains everything clearly, and lets me see exactly what is being used. That level of trust and professionalism is rare.
Every treatment I’ve had with her has given me beautiful, natural-looking results, and I couldn’t be happier. I always leave feeling more confident while still looking like myself.
Thank you, Dr. Azra, for your amazing work, your honesty, and your kindness. I trust you completely and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a skilled doctor who genuinely cares about her patients. Show less »

I had a wonderful experience at Leaders Clinic Dubai. The entire team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and highly professional, making every visit comfortable from start to finish.
I had two skin treatment sessions with Dr. Fouad and achieved great results. His work is very precise, and you can tell that quality and patient care are his priorities. I also had two facial sessions with Maryam, the skin specialist, and she was amazing, knowledgeable, gentle, and genuinely cares about her patients.
What I appreciate the most is that they never rush you. They take the time to explain every treatment, product, and its benefits, so you leave with a clear understanding and complete confidence in your treatment plan.

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.

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.
