Muscle Relaxant Treatments
At Smile Studio Newstead, we believe your smile and facial structure should work together. Our muscle relaxant treatments are designed to refine facial balance, soften visible lines caused by expression, and maintain a natural, confident appearance.
Every treatment is carried out by a qualified, registered practitioner in a safe, clinical setting.
Why Consider Muscle Relaxant Treatments?
Facial movement over time can lead to the development of lines and changes in skin tone or texture. These are a natural part of expression, but when muscle activity becomes overactive, it can create areas of imbalance.
Our muscle relaxant treatments can help:
Soften visible signs of facial tension
Maintain natural expression while refining symmetry
Support smoother skin and balanced definition
Complement other smile and aesthetic treatments
Our approach prioritises precision and restraint, so results always look refined, not overdone.
What To Expect from your Muscle Relaxant Treatment
1
Consultation & Assessment
Simply book an appointment online for a thorough initial consultation. Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your facial structure, muscle movement, and treatment goals. Your practitioner will explain the process, discuss expected results, and confirm your suitability.
2
Commence Treatment
If suitable, precise applications are performed to relax targeted facial muscles. This helps reduce the appearance of dynamic lines and restore smoothness to the treated areas while maintaining natural movement.
3
Aftercare & Review
You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions and have the option of a follow-up appointment to review progress and ensure the best outcome. Results vary from person to person. A consultation and informed consent are required prior to treatment.
Let's answer some frequently asked questions.
A muscle relaxant treatment uses small, controlled doses to temporarily relax overactive facial muscles. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles caused by movement and helps smooth the skin for a more refreshed look.
When facial muscles repeatedly contract, such as when smiling or frowning, they create creases in the skin known as dynamic wrinkles. The treatment works by blocking specific nerve signals to the targeted muscles, reducing their activity and allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother.
Muscle relaxant treatments can address a range of common concern areas, including:
Lines around the forehead and brows
Crow’s feet near the eyes
Chin dimpling and jawline tension
Areas of facial imbalance caused by muscle overactivity
Your practitioner will assess your facial structure and recommend treatment zones that suit your individual goals.
Yes. Our approach is based on precision. The goal is not to remove movement, but to balance it, keeping natural facial expression while reducing the intensity of specific muscle contractions.
When performed by registered, experienced practitioners in a clinical environment, these treatments are considered safe. As with all medical procedures, side effects such as mild redness, swelling, or temporary tenderness can occur and will be discussed during your consultation.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or small marks at the injection sites that fade within a few hours. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Initial results can usually be seen within 3 to 5 days, with optimal results visible after about 2 weeks. Your practitioner may schedule a review appointment to assess progress and ensure the desired effect has been achieved.
Results generally last 3 to 4 months, depending on factors such as your metabolism, muscle strength, and lifestyle. Regular maintenance appointments can help sustain consistent results throughout the year.
For best results, avoid:
Touching or massaging treated areas for 24 hours
Lying down or strenuous exercise for at least 4 hours
Excessive heat exposure (saunas or hot yoga) for 24–48 hours
Your clinician will provide detailed aftercare instructions specific to your treatment.
Not necessarily. Certain medical conditions, medications, or skin sensitivities may mean the treatment isn’t appropriate. Your practitioner will assess your medical history and facial anatomy to ensure safety and suitability.
