Muscle Inhibitors

Muscle Inhibitors are a highly diluted and purified form of Bolulinum Toxin which is produced from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. In much larger doses the toxin is hazardous. Excessive frowning and smiling can cause deep lines and furrows on the forehead as well as in between the eyebrows. An injection of a Muscle Inhibitor blocks the nerve impulses that control muscle movement, therefore treatment prevents the patient from "scrunching up" their face.

Applications of Muscle Inhibitors are extensive including treatment for Crows feet, under eye bulge, lines on the neck and chest, vertical "marionette lines" that run from the outside corner of the mouth to the chin, vertical "smokers lines" than run above and below the lips, dimples on the chin and excess sweating (can be injected under the arms, palms and soles of feet). In certain cases, treatment can be combined with Dermal Filler & Volumisers.

Initial results using Muscle Inhibitors are noted after 2 - 3 days, but the full effect can take up to 2 weeks.
