A purified protein is injected in minimal quantities
into the muscles of your face to relax them or to
prevent the development of frown lines.
WRINKLES
Muscle relaxant injections are a way to reduce wrinkles and improve the appearance of our face in a natural way. They relax the facial muscles that cause the dynamic wrinkles in your forehead and around your eyes.
Do you often hear that you look angry or tired? Also then, this treatment can be a solution.
TEETH GRINDING
Teeth grinding often happens while sleeping or unconsciously during stressful periods. This can cause tooth wear, a sore and swollen muscle and chronic pain. The teeth can also feel sensitive. The muscle tension in the jaws is then overactive.
Treatment with temporary muscle relaxants can help with teeth grinding.
MIGRAINE
Migraine is a chronic condition that is taxing and often interferes with your daily activities. During a migraine attack, a throbbing or even stabbing headache may be experienced.
If you have migraines more than 15 days a month, temporary muscle relaxants can help reduce the frequency of headaches.
EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Excessive sweating can be uncomfortable and bothersome in everyday life. Excessive sweating occurs when sweat occurs when the temperature is not high, you are relaxed and not exercising. After the treatment you can immediately continue with the day.
You will notice a decrease in perspiration in the treated areas a few days after the treatment.
This substance is not a filler, but a protein that relaxes the muscles. It is injected in minimal quantities into the muscles of your face to relax them or to prevent the development of frown lines. Temporary muscle relaxants are the most popular treatment and the most used non-chirurgical treatment around the world.
A treatment with temporary muscle relaxants can be the solution for various complaints. Think of signs of ageing, a stern look, migraines, excessive sweating and even teeth grinding.

The skin of your face is being exposed to diverse and sometimes extreme weather conditions and requires the best care to remain healthy and retain its youthful appearance as much as possible. Ageing is a natural process that cannot be stopped. However, we do want to age in a healthy way. We feel most beautiful, confident and powerful when our body and mind are in balance.
Muscle relaxant injections are a way to reduce wrinkles and improve the appearance of our face in a natural way. They relax the facial muscles whose continuous contraction is the culprit behind the dynamic wrinkles in your forehead and around your eyes.
Do you often hear that you look angry or tired? Then too, this treatment can be a solution. The muscle relaxing injections temporarily “paralyze” these small muscles and therefore the skin that covers them becomes smooth again.
Temporary muscle relaxant is the most popular and most used non-surgical procedure in the world. If needed, it can be complemented with fillers for an even better effect.
At Essential Aesthetics, we work with experienced medical professionals and the best brands.
Migraine is a chronic condition that is stressful and often gets in the way of your daily activities. During a migraine attack, you may experience a pounding or even stabbing headache. If you have migraines more than 15 days a month, temporary muscle relaxing injections can help reduce the frequency of headaches.
At Essential Aesthetics, you can get the migraine treatment where a muscle relaxing substance injected into the frown and forehead, which relieves tension in the muscles. This substance blocks the pain signals of the migraine, reducing the pain experienced.
The effect lasts an average of 3 to 4 months. By repeating the treatment, the symptoms will decrease more and more.
Laughter makes us more beautiful and happier. Still, you may feel insecure about your gums. Sometimes the muscles pull up the upper lip just a little too much while laughing. This makes the gums visible. This can cause a lot of discomforts.
The Gummy smile treatment is ideal for this. The muscle-relaxing substance works by blocking the nerve impulses in the muscles. This prevents the muscles from contracting, leading to a temporary and reversible relaxation. During treatment, minimal amounts of the substance are injected to temporarily relax these muscles. The result: a smile where the gums are less visible.
The treatment takes about 15 minutes. The doctor injects the relaxant in two places in the lifting muscle of the upper lip. This causes the muscle tension in the lifting muscle to slacken. This results in a smile where the upper lip pulls up less while laughing.
The effect lasts an average of 3 to 6 months and is the perfect solution if you do not want to undergo surgery.
Some people sweat a little more than others. Excessive sweating, also called hyperhidrosis, can be uncomfortable and inconvenient in daily life. Excessive sweating occurs when there is sweat from the armpits, feet or palms of your hands, even when the temperature is not high, you are relaxed and not exercising.
When local treatments do not help, muscle relaxing injections can be the solution. Whenthe substance is injected into the skin, it acts on the sweat glands to reduce the amount of sweat that is produced. You get an average of 15 injections per armpit.
We often get feedback from patients that the treatment is experienced as not painful. For the hands and feet, a numbing cream can be used on request. These areas are often more sensitive. After treatment, you can immediately resume your day. A few days after the treatment you will already notice that the perspiration in the treated areas decreases. The effect lasts on average 7 months.
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is the sliding of the lower and upper teeth over each other and can be very uncomfortable. It often occurs while sleeping or unconsciously during stressful periods. Teeth grinding can cause insomnia, sore and swollen muscles, and chronic pain. The teeth may also feel sensitive. The muscle tension in the jaws is then overactive. This can cause wear and tear on the teeth.
Therefore, always consult a dental professional as well.
A treatment with temporary muscle relaxants can remedy teeth grinding. During the treatment, our doctor injects the substance into the jaw muscle. The substance temporarily blocks the nerve impulses to the muscles in which the drug is injected, causing the muscle to relax. Depending on the symptoms, the amount is determined. In total, an average of 6-8 injections are given.
The result is a calmer appearance and no more grinding. The effect lasts for 3 to 6 months. After this, a repeat treatment is needed. By repeating this treatment, the symptoms will stay away longer and longer.
After a the muscle relaxing injections, there are a few aspects you should keep in mind:
A few days after the treatment, the muscle relaxant will start to work and muscle activity will decrease. Wrinkles continue to diminish until about 2 weeks after treatment After two weeks, the effect on the muscle is optimal.
The effect of the treatment remains visible for an average of 3-7 months. Experience shows that after several treatments, the effect will last longer. To maintain the desired result, most people require a temporary muscle relaxing treatment every 3-4 months.
On average, 90% of patients achieve a substantial reduction in wrinkles but of course, there are differences between patients’ responses. The treatment results may be disappointing for a very small percentage.
Please note: if you have previously had a muscle relaxant treatment and you switch brands, the result may last less long as your body sees another brand as a new substance. The second time, the result will last longer again. Unfortunately, it is not possible to estimate in advance how long the result will actually
last.
This treatment has been proven to be highly effective and deliver astonishing results, practically making patients feel years younger. There are millions of clients happy with their results.
The procedure is very fast; it takes some time between 20 and 30 minutes, including initial consultation and preparation. The injecting process itself only takes 5-10 minutes. The needles through that are used for injecting are extremely small, and don’t hit any nerves. Mostly, patients feel very tiny stings where the injections take place. Once the procedure is complete, patients don’t feel pain.
In most cases, there is no downtime. Some patients may have tiny bruises on the places where the needle hit the skin, but they will disappear in just a few days. Avoid heavy exercise the day of injection and wait 2 weeks before having your next facial.
You will see the results of the muscle relaxant – i.e., your smooth, wrinkle-free skin – within 2-7 days but it will take 2 weeks for the full result.
You can decide whether you want to continue doing the treatment or you would rather go to the way things were. If you don’t love your results, you can just let the substance wear off in several months, and you will look as if you never had anything done.
Temporary muscle relaxant is a relatively low-risk treatment. It has been researched thoroughly, and most of its risks actually exist when the patient is not in good health or the injector is not a professional. Sometimes unlicensed injectors use rip-offs of the substance that can cause harm. Avoid these risks by going into a clinic that is known for its good practice.
Finally, the benefits of temporary muscle relaxants are not only aesthetic. As said before, it can reduce excessive sweating of armpits and feet as well, relax chronic muscle pain, and help with migraine relief. For those patients who grind their teeth during the night, this treatment can be the solution as well.
For some a pro, for others a con: the muscle relaxing injections are not a permanent solution. It wears off after a number of months. Usually, you need to repeat the treatment at least twice a year to maintain good results, that is a wrinkle-free look.
As any other medicine, it can trigger certain allergic reactions. Should this happen, it’s essential to receive a counter treatment by a medical doctor. If the response is treated immediately, it is most likely not to leave any consequences.
The trick with the main feature of this substance, its ability to paralyze muscles, is that it can warrant results that you may not like, in addition to erasing wrinkles. When improperly injected, it may cause the appearance of a constantly frowned or surprised look or prevent squinting. Basically, it can lead to a lack
of proper facial expression. That’s why it is so important to always choose an experienced and licensed aesthetic doctor and a reputable clinic.
Paying for muscle relaxants several times a year is relatively expensive. We have a VIP club for our members though, that ensures discounts for our regular patients.
Sometimes patients don’t get amazing results after their first treatment but need to come again. However, this rarely happens with experienced injectors who are experienced with the treatment and your face.
Most side effects are mild and don’t cause any major discomfort, such as bruising and swelling at the injection site, as well as some light headaches. But some major issues can occur in a very tiny percentage of patients, such as neck pain, upper respiratory tract infection, nausea, minor loss of speech, eyelid drooping. Should this happen to you, make sure to consult with your physician immediately.
Many millions of people receive temporary muscle relaxing treatments every year, and it is an extremely safe procedure. Nonetheless, first-time patients often worry because of stories going around of getting a mask-like face.
This is absolutely not true, and any good aesthetic doctor will provide careful advice on the scope of the treatment. Even though studies have found an average of one side effect per many thousand procedures, there may be some, mostly very limited side effects.
These can be minimized if you go to a reputable clinic like Essential Aesthetics. Our aesthetic doctors have had ample experience and possess extensive working knowledge of facial anatomy.

Doctors generally recommend against using muscle relaxants when you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
This treatment should not be used in people who are allergic to cow milk protein.
In addition to your injectable treatment, it is also recommended to treat the other multidimensional layers of the skin. Our skin therapist works with the doctor to create a complete step-by-step plan. This ensures a long-lasting effect of the injectable.
There are different types of treatments available at Essential Aesthetics that each cover a different dimension of the skin. A skincare plan can be seen as a pyramid, as in which the foundation sets the base, and the layers above it are there to improve and compliment the complete picture.
The first step is improving your lifestyle. Our team will guide you with supplements, green detox juices and vitamin infusions to regenerate and boost your immune system. What is happening on the inside, is showing on the outside regardless of your effort to cover it. That is why body health is the first step in creating a healthier and improved look.
The second layer of the pyramid stands for non-invasive beauty treatments. These are more traditional hands-on facials with the best selection of products for both professional and home use. We tailor each treatment on the client’s personal journey, which is an ongoing transformation. Lifestyle, sudden hormonal changes, health condition and stress levels can differ during each visit. We will adjust accordingly and customize the treatments and products, opting to be a personal trainer for your skin.
The third layer consists out of minimal invasive beauty treatments, helping the deeper layer of your skin to regenerate and most importantly: restore. When you find the products you are using at home useless, even the most expensive ones, this is the right moment to step into minimal invasive beauty treatments. These treatments create little wounds that the human eye cannot see, which forces the skin to produce new cells, stimulate the production of collagen and improve elastin in an efficient way. In addition, the best ampule cocktails designed and produced by the most experienced European laboratory, are used during these treatments. Skin problems like opening pores, dehydration, wrinkles, pigmentation, rosacea etc. can be largely improved by a series of consistent treatments.
The fourth layer stands for the invasive treatments: injectables. As time passes by, our bones are degrading and the fat pads in our face disappear. As a result, you are witnessing sagging skin. Injectables can restore the volume according to your bone structure and also stimulate your collagen production. So you are benefitting skin improvement and a fresh look for the long term. When you are investing in injectables, we recommend you consider maintaining the results every four weeks with the beauty treatments to treat the remaining layers of your skin.
The fifth and final layer stands for face surgery. If you do not look on the outside the way you feel on the inside, you can opt for alternatives like surgery which deliver immediate and long-lasting results. Our plastic surgery department is committed to supporting your journey in realizing your transformation. However, even after surgery, your skin structure stays the same. To maintain good skin elasticity and good skin quality, we advise you to use the right products at home and take care of your skin with the right beauty treatments. You can start treating the skin 6 months post-up surgery.
Use the free (and obligation-free) consultation, to ask any questions you may have. The doctor will examine, together with you, the possibilities that best suit your body. Should you want another appointment after this one or need more information, we would be delighted to oblige. This is your body we are talking about, you deserve the best so make that appointment.
