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).
I had HIFU for my neck and a Carbon Laser treatment for my face, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. A special thank you goes to my aesthetician, Czarina. She is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and attentive. Before starting the treatments, she took the time to explain each procedure, what to expect, and answered all of my questions with patience and professionalism.
What impressed me the most was how meticulous and caring she was throughout the session. She constantly checked on my comfort, ensured I felt at ease, and performed each treatment with great attention to detail. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about achieving the best results for her clients rather than simply rushing through the appointment.
I left the clinic feeling confident that I was in very capable hands. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I truly appreciate the excellent level of care and service I received.
I highly recommend SKIN111 Clinic, and if you’re booking a treatment, I wholeheartedly recommend requesting Czarina. She is professional, skilled, kind, and passionate about what she does. I’ll definitely be coming back for my future treatments. Show less »

Hair laser removal. I was so pleasantly surprised by the service. Supriya was so attentive and with so much attention to detail. I’ve been doing laser hair removal for years, and in many clinics, but I can tell for sure that this was the best service I’ve ever received.
10/10 for that. Clinic is good, and clean. And after the rebranding looks fine (had some problems with Botox and other treatments before) but will definitely come back thanks to Supriya’s excellent professionalism Show less »

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.
