At Beauty by Doctor (BBD), muscle-relaxant treatments are used to address muscle activity in selected areas of the face and body. These treatments may be considered as part of a personalised plan to manage muscle prominence and support overall facial and body balance.
Treatment suitability is assessed during consultation, where individual anatomy, muscle activity, and treatment goals are reviewed.
Facial Slimming
Facial slimming treatments involve targeted injections into the masseter muscles to reduce muscle activity over time. This may be considered for individuals with prominent masseter muscles or those experiencing jaw tension associated with clenching or grinding.
Changes develop gradually as muscle activity reduces. Outcomes vary between individuals and are influenced by baseline muscle strength and treatment frequency.
Trapezius Muscle Treatment
Treatment of the trapezius muscle, commonly referred to as TrapTox, may be considered for individuals with increased muscle bulk in the upper back and shoulder region. By reducing muscle activity, this approach may alter the contour of the neck and shoulder area over time.
Some individuals also seek this treatment for management of muscle-related tension. A personalised assessment is required to determine suitability and expected outcomes.
Jaw Slimming
Jaw slimming treatments target the masseter muscles to reduce muscle prominence over time. This may assist in modifying lower face proportions where muscle bulk is a contributing factor.
Changes occur progressively following treatment. Duration of effect varies between individuals, and maintenance treatments may be recommended based on clinical assessment.
Nasal Muscle Treatment
Targeted muscle-relaxant treatment may be used to address specific muscle activity around the nose. This may influence dynamic movement such as nasal flaring or downward pull of the nasal tip during expression.
This approach does not replace surgical procedures and is only suitable for selected cases. A consultation is required to determine whether this treatment is appropriate.
Calf Muscle Treatment (sometimes referred to as “CalfTox”)
Calf muscle treatment involves targeted injections into the gastrocnemius muscle to reduce muscle activity. This may be considered for individuals with increased muscle bulk in the lower legs.
Changes develop gradually and vary depending on individual muscle size and response to treatment. Functional movement is preserved, and suitability is determined during consultation.
Muscle Relaxant Treatments
Muscle-relaxant treatments are prescription-only medical procedures. They are used to temporarily reduce muscle activity in targeted areas and may be considered for both functional and aesthetic indications.
Treatment is performed in clinic following a comprehensive assessment. The degree and duration of change varies between individuals. Maintenance treatments may be discussed as part of an ongoing plan.
