Dentists are especially qualified to provide muscle relaxers/relaxants injections to the face due to their vast knowledge of facial anatomy.
Because of this, the team at City Smiles are able to not only transform the smile area, but your face as a whole.
What are muscle relaxants?
Muscle relaxant injectables relax and freeze the muscles under the surface of your skin. The injections will smooth out lines and wrinkles to help give you a younger, rejuvenated appearance.
The muscle relaxant injections are delivered accurately where they’re needed, using a very thin needle.
The injections help to fade the very fine hyperdynamic lines in the skin caused by muscles that are not fully relaxed.
The results from treatment will usually last about 3 to 6 months. After this time, your muscles regain their ability to contract and frown lines reappear.
What else can muscle relaxants treat?
Apart from cosmetic benefits, we use muscle relaxant injections to treat medically related dental issues.
Teeth grinding and other problems relating to the jaw can be managed with muscle-relaxant injections. Relaxing the muscles in the jaw can alleviate pain caused by overuse.
Muscle relaxant injections are less invasive than many traditional treatments for the following problems:
- Headaches
- Facial pain
- Treatment for Temporomandibular Disorders, (TMD, TMJ)
- Teeth grinding or ‘Bruxism’
- ‘Gummy smiles’ – Where you may feel too much gum is showing when you smile
- An asymmetrical smile

Frequently Asked Questions
What do muscle relaxants treat?
Cosmetic muscle relaxant injections are used to reduce facial wrinkles and lines caused by muscle contractions. They are commonly applied to treat forehead lines, glabellar lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, chin wrinkles, and neck bands, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance. They may also be used to treat headaches, facial pain, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, bruxism (teeth grinding), excessive gum exposure in smiles (‘gummy smiles’), and asymmetrical smiles.
How long do muscle relaxant injections last?
Muscle relaxant injections typically last around three to six months before their effects wear off. Regular follow-up injections are often required to maintain the desired results.
How does the muscle relaxant work?
Muscle relaxant injectables work by relaxing and immobilising the muscles beneath the skin’s surface. These injections smooth out lines and wrinkles, providing a younger and revitalised appearance. Delivered precisely with a thin needle, the muscle relaxant injections target specific areas where they are needed. Injections are effective in fading fine hyperdynamic lines caused by muscles that are not completely relaxed.
