Muscle Relaxant

Muscle Relaxant in Luton

At Aesthetics Central we offer injectable muscle relaxants. Popularly known for cosmetic purposes, botulinum can be administered for medical conditions. In the clinic we utilise the substance to aid hyperhydrosis or relieve muscle pain in the trapezius muscles (neck/shoulder).

Hyperhydrosis
A condition which induces excess sweating can be treated by blocking out the nerves stimulated in the sweat gland.

Trap tox
Muscle tension, upper back pain or tension headaches can be controlled by relaxing the trapezius muscles, sited over the shoulders. This treatment can also aid in improving posture.

Mechanism
The botulinum toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals muscles to contract. Without these signals, the targeted muscles relax, which can reduce wrinkles or control muscle spasms.
