Muscle relaxing injections are an effective treatment for clinical issues such as excessive sweating, tooth grinding and gummy smiles.

Muscle Relaxing can treat the following conditions:

  • Excessive Sweating (clinically known as hyperhidrosis).
  • Bruxism (tooth grinding).
  • Gummy Smiles.

How Do Muscle Relaxing Injections Work?

Muscle relaxing injections safely and temporarily cease the communication between a nerve and a muscle. Most commonly known for treating lines and wrinkles, muscle-relaxing injections can also be used therapeutically in the following ways.

Excessive Sweating

Muscle relaxing injections block the nerve signals that would otherwise activate the sweat glands.

Treatment reduces excess sweat, and no ‘backlog’ of sweat occurs once treatment has worn off.

Benefits

  • Improves confidence and quality of life.
  • Fast acting (you will see results within 3-4 days).
  • Improved personal hygiene.
  • Minimally invasive injectable treatment with no recovery time.

Tooth Grinding

Muscle relaxing injections can be administered into the jaw, limiting the movements your jaw can make.

Consequently, this prevents you from unintentionally grinding and clenching your teeth.

Benefits

  • Helps to prevent tooth wear.
  • Reduces headaches and jaw ache.
  • Can be used for non-surgical facial slimming.

Gummy Smiles

Muscle relaxing injections can be injected between the upper lip and nose.

Reducing the muscle movement that would otherwise cause the lip to expose excess areas of gum.

Benefits

  • No recovery time.
  • Cost-effective and less invasive than other treatments for gummy smiles.
  • Little or no discomfort.

FAQs

How long does treatment last?

This largely depends on how you metabolise the muscle relaxant – everyone is different. However, you can expect the results to last for between 3 to 6 months.

Are there any side effects?

You may experience some minor bruising at the injection sites. Our clinicians employ a great deal of diligence when using injectables, helping to keep any post-injection discomfort to a minimum.
