HOW LONG DOES MUSCLE RELAXANTS LAST?

MUSCLE RELAXANTS may work for migraine headaches because it blocks chemicals called neurotransmitters that carry pain signals from the brain.

We use extremely small needles for injections. Most people experience little to no pain during treatment. Some people feel a slight pinching or stinging sensation. We can apply a topical numbing cream before the treatment if you are worried about the pain.

There is insufficient date to be certain that MUSCLE RELAXANTS injection is likely to harm the baby. However there is no guarantee that it is safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding, it is best to be on the safe side and not take the risk.  

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUSCLE RELAXANTS AND DERMAL FILLERS?

Muscle relaxants: This freezes muscles to stop creases and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. These are typically found in the upper face, such as the forehead and around the eyes. 

Dermal fillers: These use hyaluronic acid and similar substances to “fill in” or plump areas that have lost volume and smoothness. This includes wrinkles around the mouth, thin lips, and cheeks that have lost fullness. They may also be used on forehead wrinkles, scars, and other areas that need extra volume for a smoother look. 

Muscle relaxants results last 3 to 4 months. Dermal filler results vary, depending on which area is used. 

Because Muscle relaxants and fillers are different substances designed for different uses, they can sometimes be combined in one treatment. For instance, someone may use Muscle relaxants to correct lines between the eyes and a filler to correct smile lines around the mouth.
