What Are Muscle Relaxing Injections?
Muscle relaxing injections are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that use a purified protein — botulinum toxin type A — to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. By softening the activity of these muscles, the treatment reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, the lines that form through repeated facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. The result is smoother, more refreshed-looking skin, without any need for surgery or significant downtime.
At Skinova Aesthetics, we believe in enhancing your natural features rather than freezing them. Our experienced practitioners take a careful, tailored approach to every treatment, ensuring results remain subtle and refreshed while still letting your natural expressions shine through.

How Muscle Relaxing Injections Work
Muscle relaxing injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals sent to a targeted muscle. Once injected, the protein prevents that muscle from contracting as strongly as it normally would. With less movement in the muscle, the skin lying above it creases less, and existing expression lines appear visibly softer over the following days.
This is a muscle-based treatment, not a skin-based one — it doesn’t add volume, rebuild collagen, or change skin texture. Its role is purely to reduce the muscle movement responsible for expression lines.

How Relaxing Muscle Treatment Is Administered
Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. Your practitioner reviews your medical history, discusses your goals, and assesses your facial muscles and expression patterns to determine the right treatment plan for you.
Facial Mapping
Precise injection points are identified and marked based on your individual facial anatomy, muscle strength, and desired outcome — ensuring natural, balanced results.
Cleansing the Treatment Area
The skin is thoroughly cleansed with an antiseptic solution to remove makeup, oil, and bacteria, ensuring a safe, hygienic environment for injection.
Injection
Using a fine-gauge needle, small, carefully measured amounts of botulinum toxin type A are injected into the targeted muscles. This step is quick, typically taking 10–15 minutes in total.
Comfort Check
Your practitioner checks in throughout to ensure you’re comfortable. Most clients describe the sensation as a light pinch, and numbing cream is rarely required.
Immediate Aftercare
Once the injections are complete, you may be asked to remain upright for a few minutes. Ice or a cooling tool may be used if there’s any mild redness or swelling.
Aftercare Guidance
Before you leave, you’ll receive clear instructions — including avoiding touching the area, skipping strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and staying upright for the following few hours.
Follow-Up
Results begin appearing within 3–5 days, with full effects visible by around 14 days. A follow-up check may be offered to review your results and ensure your satisfaction.
Total appointment time at Skinova Aesthetics is typically 30–45 minutes, including consultation, treatment, and aftercare guidance.
Areas We Treat at Skinova Aesthetics
Muscle Relaxing for Forehead Lines
Forehead Lines
Forehead lines develop from repeated muscle movement, particularly when raising the eyebrows or expressing surprise. Muscle Relaxing Injections Seven Kings target these muscles directly, softening their activity so lines appear smoother and less pronounced over time.
- Treats horizontal lines across the forehead
- Reduces line depth caused by repeated expressions
- Results typically visible within 3–14 days
- Quick treatment, minimal downtime
- Natural, subtle softening — expressions remain intact
Forehead Lines with Muscle Relaxing Injections
Frown Lines with Muscle Relaxing Injections
Muscle Relaxing for Forehead Lines
Frown Lines
Frown lines, often called “11 lines,” form between the eyebrows from repeated frowning or concentrating. Muscle relaxing injections gently soften these muscles, smoothing the area for a more relaxed, refreshed appearance without affecting natural expression.
- Targets the muscles between the brows
- Softens vertical “11” lines
- Quick treatment, minimal downtime
- Natural-looking, subtle results
- Results typically last 3–4 months
Muscle Relaxing for Bunny Lines
Bunny Lines
Bunny lines are the small diagonal creases that appear across the bridge of the nose when scrunching, laughing, or smiling. Muscle relaxing injections gently soften these lines by relaxing the nasalis muscle, smoothing the nose’s appearance without affecting natural expression.
- Targets diagonal creases across the nasal bridge
- Softens lines caused by scrunching or laughing
- Quick treatment with minimal discomfort
- Subtle, natural-looking results
- Often combined with frown line or forehead treatments for balanced results
Bunny Lines with Muscle Relaxing Injections
Jawline Slimming with Muscle Relaxing Injections
Muscle Relaxing for Jawline Slimming
Jawline Slimming
Jawline slimming uses muscle relaxing injections to target the masseter muscle, softening its activity for a more refined, contoured facial shape. This non-surgical treatment is popular for reducing a square or heavy jawline appearance, often linked to teeth grinding or muscle overuse.
- Softens masseter muscle overactivity
- Creates a slimmer, more V-shaped jaw contour
- Can ease jaw tension and teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Non-surgical, minimal downtime
- Results typically visible within 4–6 weeks
Muscle Relaxing for Crow's Feet
Crow's Feet
Crow’s feet are the fine lines that form at the outer corners of the eyes, often appearing when smiling, laughing, or squinting. Muscle relaxing injections gently soften these lines by relaxing the small muscles around the eye area, leaving skin looking smoother and more refreshed.
- Targets fine lines around the outer eye area
- Softens creases caused by smiling or squinting
- Quick treatment, minimal downtime
- Natural-looking results that preserve expression
- Results typically last 3–4 months

When Muscle Relaxing Injections Are Used
Muscle relaxing injections are typically used:
- When dynamic lines start to appear — lines visible during expression (frowning, smiling, raising the brows), before they become permanently etched into resting skin
- Preventatively — many clients in their late 20s and 30s begin treatment early to slow the formation of deeper lines
- For jawline slimming — relaxing the masseter muscle for a softer, more contoured jaw
- For excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) — commonly treated in the underarms, palms, or soles
- For frequent migraines — used in some cases as a medically recognised treatment
- For gummy smile correction — softening the muscle that raises the upper lip
When It Should Not Be Used
- During pregnancy or breastfeeding
- If you have certain neuromuscular or neurological conditions
- If you have an active skin infection in the treatment area
- If you are currently unwell or have a known allergy to the ingredients
A full medical history is always reviewed at consultation to confirm suitability.

Benefits of Muscle Relaxing Injections
Muscle relaxing injections offer a simple, effective way to soften the visible signs of ageing without surgery. By relaxing targeted facial muscles, they reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed look while preserving natural expression. Many clients also use the treatment preventatively, helping to slow the formation of deeper lines over time.
Beyond anti-ageing benefits, Muscle Relaxing Injections can be used for jawline slimming, reducing excessive sweating, easing frequent migraines, and correcting a gummy smile. The treatment itself is quick, typically taking 15–30 minutes, with little to no downtime — most clients return to their normal routine the same day. At Skinova Aesthetics, results are always tailored to enhance your natural features, never to overdo them.
Benefits of Muscle Relaxing Injections
- Softer, more relaxed appearance of expression lines
- Helps prevent new lines from deepening over time
- Quick treatment with minimal downtime
- Subtle, natural-looking results — never “frozen”
- Can be combined with other treatments (such as microneedling) for a complete skin rejuvenation plan
- Delivered by experienced, qualified practitioners in a comfortable clinic setting
What's Used in Muscle Relaxing Injections
Muscle relaxing injections use a purified, medical-grade protein called botulinum toxin type A as their core active ingredient. This protein works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles, softening the appearance of expression lines. At Skinova Aesthetics, treatments are carried out using fine-gauge needles for precision and comfort, with sterile, single-use equipment to ensure the highest standards of safety and hygiene. While several licensed brands — including Botox®, Azzalure®, and Bocouture® — all contain the same active ingredient, they differ slightly in formulation and dilution. Your practitioner will select the most suitable option for your treatment goals during your consultation.

FAQs
What are muscle relaxing injections used for?
They’re used to soften dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. They can also treat jawline slimming, excessive sweating, migraines, and gummy smiles.
Can muscle relaxing injections rejuvenate my skin?
Not directly. They work on the muscle, not the skin’s structure. For skin rejuvenation — improved texture and collagen — we recommend combining treatment with microneedling.
Will my face look frozen after treatment?
No. At Skinova Aesthetics, we focus on natural, subtle results that soften lines while keeping your natural expressions intact — never an overdone or “frozen” look.
Does aesthetic treatment actually rejuvenate the skin?
Yes it depends on the treatment. Skin rejuvenation treatments, such as microneedling, chemical peels, or RF therapy, genuinely improve the skin’s structure by boosting collagen, tone, and texture.
Do muscle relaxing injections boost collagen?
No. Muscle relaxing injections work on the muscle, not the skin. They don’t stimulate collagen production — for that, treatments like microneedling are recommended.
Do muscle relaxing injections improve skin texture?
Not directly. They soften expression lines caused by muscle movement but don’t change the skin’s texture, tone, or firmness the way collagen-stimulating treatments do.
Can Skinova Aesthetics help me decide which treatment is best?
Yes — a free consultation with our team will assess your skin and goals, and recommend the right treatment (or combination) to achieve natural, effective results.
