Consultation
We discuss the areas to be treated, the amount of product needed, and the number of zones. Prices vary per patient and are explained in advance.
When are muscle relaxants suitable?
Do you recognise one or more of these concerns? During the consultation, we assess whether botulinum toxin is appropriate.
Not sure whether muscle relaxants (botulinum toxin) is right for you?
Let us guide youOften suitable for
Forehead, frown, and crow's feet wrinkles
Downturned mouth corners
Excessive teeth grinding
Excessive underarm sweating
Wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement
How is the treatment performed?
A small amount is injected directly into the superficial muscles causing the wrinkle. One session is usually sufficient; occasionally a small touch-up is needed after two weeks. For underarm treatment, superficial injections are placed at the level of the sweat glands.
Depending on the number of injections, a treatment takes 5 to 10 minutes. The needle is fine, the amount small, and discomfort minimal. You feel a light stinging sensation that quickly fades.
Targeted injections
The solution is placed precisely in the muscles causing wrinkle formation. In the underarm, exactly where the sweat glands are located.
Usually one session
The muscles relax and expression lines soften. Sometimes a small touch-up follows after two weeks. Underarm sweat production decreases dramatically.
5 to 10 minutes
A short treatment with a fine needle and minimal discomfort.
For muscle relaxants (botulinum toxin) we choose an approach that fits your expectations, with precise technique and smooth recovery.

Frequently asked questions about muscle relaxants
Does the injection hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. Because of the fine needle and small amount, you mainly feel a light stinging sensation that quickly fades.
Do muscle relaxants also help with excessive sweating?
Yes. Injected locally into the skin, botulinum toxin blocks nerve stimulation of the sweat glands. The effect takes a few days to start and usually lasts 3 to 6 months, without risk to deeper muscles.
What side effects are possible?
Bruising at the injection site is rare, and more common with blood thinners. A feeling of heaviness in the upper eyelids can sometimes increase. Upper eyelid surgery can address this.
Who is not eligible?
Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Also not with neuromuscular conditions, certain medications (aminoglycosides, calcium channel blockers), or allergy to human albumin or botulinum toxin.
How much does a treatment cost?
Prices vary depending on the amount needed and the number of areas. We discuss this with you during the consultation.
