Muscle Relaxant Injections
What are muscle relaxant injections?
Muscle relaxant injections are an anti-ageing treatment to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. They help to give a more youthful appearance without the need for face lifts or surgery.

Muscle relaxant injections relaxes the facial muscles by blocking the nerve signals, leaving the skin looking smoother but still allows for facial expression.
