Muscle relaxant injections can be used to relax muscles of the face or to treat excessive sweating (the medical term for this is hyperhidrosis). These are 2 very different distinct treatments and Be Aesthetic Clinic in Selby offer both of these treatments.
Muscle relaxant injections are used to smooth away lines and wrinkles by stopping muscle activity. Lines visibly start to soften in 3-5 days and continue to do so for up to 3-4 weeks. The results of each treatment can last on average between 3-4 months.
It can be used to open up the eyes and smooth away facial lines. It can sometimes be used to lift areas of the face. If you have deep static lines, treatments are recommended every 12 weeks initially, but can then be further apart once improvement is made. If lines are not visible or quite fine then fewer treatments may be required and of course it all depends on what you want to achieve.
Muscle relaxant injections work wonderfully for smoothing lines and wrinkles but it is not the panacea or cure for all lines and wrinkles, there are areas of the face that we can’t treat and some facial lines and wrinkles that they will not have any effect on.
That said, it will help and works very well in treating the upper face, forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. It works by stopping muscle activity and then allowing lines and wrinkles which are in the skin rather than the muscle to heal.

Excessive sweating can cause much embarrassment when it happens and is not associated with exercise, it can occur spontaneously in affected individuals. It can have a huge impact on people that suffer with this in their daily life and jobs.
Muscle relaxant injections are used to treat the sweat glands in the skin rather than the muscles, and can literally be used on any area of the body where excessive sweating takes place, scalps, foreheads, lips, back of necks, backs, underarms and palms.
Occasionally, I will need to carry out a test to determine the area that requires treatment and the size of the area governs the cost. As with all treatments carried out in clinic a full medical history is taken, it is important to rule out any underlying disease which may be the cause of the sweating and sometimes referral is made back to your general practitioner before any treatments can be carried out.
It generally works well and often lasts for about 6 -12 months.

Muscle relaxing injections are used to treat upper facial lines, typically forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet and the lower face sometimes. However, it can also be used to treat other problems like reducing pore size and excess oil in the skin, for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), facial spasm, migraines and masseter muscles in the face for teeth grinding or TMJ dysfunction. We can treat all of these indications in our clinic that is ideally located in Cliffe, between Selby, York, Howden and Goole.
No Muscle relaxers relax muscles generally under lines and wrinkles which then allows them to heal. Dermal fillers are used in a different way
Yes, very occasionally people experience side effects from muscle relaxing injections. However, we tend to find that much smaller doses are used in the clinic than what would be used in a hospital setting and so side effects are much less likely.
We will discuss all side effects at your initial consultation. The good news is if any side effects are experienced they will wear off as the treatment wears off.
No, not usually. Occasionally people might feel a little pinch but as the treatment only takes a few seconds, it is gone very quickly.
It is used to stop or reduce muscle activity in the area treated so therefore it can help to reduce tight muscles
Muscle relaxing injections generally start to work around day 2-5. They will reach their peak effect at around 3 weeks and will continue to work for 8-12 weeks.
Some newer muscle relaxers claim that their effects will last longer but we’re still waiting to see if this is proven.
The muscle relaxing injection treatment itself takes a very little amount of time, around 5 minutes. However, you will need to complete other important things like signing a consent form, having photos taken and your skin needs to be cleaned thoroughly before muscle relaxing injections. For a straightforward upper face treatment you can be in the clinic for as little as 10-20 minutes. For more complicated treatments slightly longer.

It depends on why you are needing it. Muscle relaxing injections will soften lines and wrinkles so typically we start treating people in their 30’s and 40’s. However we do treat younger patients who have deep lines earlier.
If you don’t have any lines on your face at rest (with no facial expression) then you probably don’t require muscle relaxing injection treatments. If you are unsure, feel free to get in touch.
It stops a chemical reaction in muscles for a period of time to stop the muscle either working or so that it works less.

Delighted with my fantastic results , not only is Bev a lovely person and put me at ease. She is very professional and knows her stuff. Thank you, gr8 experience x
Confidential and professional service with a warm and friendly atmosphere to put you completely at ease .
This was my first consultation with Bev. I found Bev to be very friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Her background as a senior nurse shows. She tailored her advice to suit my skin problem, lifestyle and personality. No pressure and certainly no hard-sell on anything. A consummate professional — highly recommended!
Bev is exceptionally professional taking into account your personal preferences. Her caring nature and obvious passion and knowledge puts you at ease throughout the procedure. I can not recommend Bev enough.
Bev was extremely down to earth and helpful. I was very insecure after losing weight and getting older as my lips were thinning out. Bev knew what I wanted and took the time to listen and talk me through my options. I was more than happy with the results and gave me the confidence I needed to be proud of my looks again. Bev was down to earth and understanding – a real treasure of the cosmetic surgery industry.
Absolutely brilliant facial to have, my skin can be sensitive but this wasn’t an issue for me. My skin was so clean smooth and fresh looking. Bev Kelly did an excellent job by explaining in detail each process and keeping my needs paramount, what a star!
