Muscle Relaxing Injections
Muscle relaxing injections are a common intervention used to temporarily paralyse facial muscle to smooth the skin and reduce stigmata of aging. Muscles are supplied by motor nerves which meet the muscle at a point termed the neuromuscular junction. When a nerve signals the muscle to contract, a neurotransmitter (in this case acetylcholine) is released from the nerve which crosses the neuromuscular junction to stimulate the muscle contraction. The use of injections based off botulinum toxin arrest this process of delivering the neurotransmitter to the muscle. A detailed knowledge of facial anatomy enables Mr. Bunker to create a treatment plan which is not formulaic but individualised to your unique needs and goals. NOTE: These are prescription only medicines which must be administered by an appropriately qualified and registered health care professional and only after a consultation with the prescriber.
