Muscle relaxant treatments at BeautyFULL CMC are administered by experienced Cosmetic Nurses following a thorough consultation and suitability assessment. Located in Holland Park West, our Brisbane clinic provides personalised, consultation-led care to help you address dynamic facial lines, jaw tension, and other concerns with precision and clinical care.
Muscle relaxant treatments are prescription-based injectable treatments that temporarily reduce muscle activity in targeted areas of the face and body. They are commonly assessed for use in areas where repeated facial muscle movement contributes to the formation of dynamic lines over time.
At BeautyFULL CMC, all treatments are preceded by a thorough consultation to assess each patient’s suitability, medical history, and individual goals.
Areas commonly discussed during consultation include:
Muscle relaxant treatments involve the use of prescription medicines. Only a registered medical practitioner may prescribe these treatments. Cosmetic Nurses at BeautyFULL CMC administer treatments under the authorisation of a medical practitioner. Individual responses vary, and not all patients will be suitable for treatment.
Muscle relaxant treatments are administered via precise injections into specific targeted muscles. The injected medicine works by temporarily reducing nerve signals to those muscles, which may decrease the intensity of muscle contractions in the treated areas.
Over time, the skin above repeatedly contracting muscles can develop dynamic lines — creases that appear during expression and, in some individuals, become more visible at rest. By temporarily reducing activity in these muscles, treatment may assist in softening the appearance of dynamic lines in suitable patients.
Results are temporary. The duration and degree of any response varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed. Maintenance treatments are often discussed during the consultation process, based on each patient’s response to prior treatment and their ongoing goals.
Treatment is not appropriate for everyone. Suitability is assessed during a formal consultation with a clinician at BeautyFULL CMC. Individual results vary.
Lines across the forehead may be associated with repeated upward movement of the frontalis muscle. Muscle relaxant treatment in this area is assessed on an individual basis, taking into account brow position and overall facial balance.
The glabellar region — the area between the brows — can develop lines associated with repeated corrugator muscle activity. Treatment in this area is commonly requested and assessed during consultation.
Fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes are often associated with the orbicularis oculi muscle. These may be assessed during consultation as part of a broader facial evaluation.
Lines across the bridge of the nose, caused by the nasalis muscle, may be considered for treatment as part of a broader facial assessment.
The depressor anguli oris muscle may contribute to a downturned appearance at the corners of the mouth. This area is assessed individually and treated where clinically appropriate.
Dimpling or texture changes in the chin area related to mentalis muscle activity may be discussed during consultation.
Muscle relaxant injections into the masseter muscles may be assessed for patients experiencing jaw tension, teeth grinding (bruxism), or TMJ discomfort. Individual responses to treatment vary.
Vertical bands on the neck associated with platysma muscle activity may be considered for treatment in suitable patients.
In some patients, trapezius muscle relaxant treatment is assessed for concerns related to shoulder tension or upper neck appearance. Suitability is determined at consultation.
At BeautyFULL CMC, every patient pathway begins with a formal consultation. This process is in place to ensure treatment is appropriate, safe, and aligned with each individual’s needs.
Your clinician will take a thorough medical history and discuss any current medications, health conditions, and prior treatments. This information is essential to determining suitability.
A clinical assessment of facial muscle movement and structure is conducted. Your clinician will discuss your areas of concern, what you are hoping to address, and what may be achievable based on your anatomy.
Potential risks, side effects, and limitations are discussed in full. Not all patients will be suitable for treatment. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and take time to consider your options before proceeding.
If treatment is deemed suitable and you wish to proceed, injections are administered using a very fine needle. The number of areas treated and the dosage used are tailored to the individual assessment.
Detailed aftercare instructions are provided following treatment. Where clinically indicated, a follow-up appointment may be recommended to review your response.

Muscle relaxant treatments involve the use of prescription medicines and carry potential risks. As with any injectable treatment, individual responses vary. It is important that patients make a fully informed decision before proceeding.
Possible side effects may include:
Serious complications are uncommon but can occur. Full disclosure of your medical history, current medications, and any known allergies is essential prior to treatment. Patients are encouraged to follow all aftercare instructions provided by their clinician.
If you experience any unusual or concerning symptoms following treatment, contact the clinic or seek medical attention promptly. In the case of a medical emergency, call 000 or attend your nearest emergency department.
For further information on cosmetic injectable treatments, refer to Better Health Victoria – Cosmetic Treatments: Injectables, Healthdirect Australia, and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). Practitioner registration can be verified via the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
The duration of results varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed. In general, effects are temporary, and the response experienced by one patient will not necessarily reflect the response of another. Factors including muscle strength, metabolism, and the areas treated can all influence how long results are maintained. Your clinician will discuss what to expect based on your individual assessment.
Changes, where they occur, are typically gradual rather than immediate. Any visible response may begin to become apparent within the days following treatment, with the full effect generally developing over a longer period. Individual responses vary. Your clinician will provide guidance specific to your situation during your consultation.

They must only be prescribed by a registered medical practitioner and administered by a qualified practitioner following a thorough assessment.

Patients are encouraged to disclose their full medical history and ask any questions they have before proceeding. Practitioner registration can be verified via AHPRA.
As outlined in the risks section above, potential side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, headache, and in some cases temporary muscle weakness or drooping. Serious complications are uncommon but possible. It is important to follow aftercare instructions provided by your clinician and to contact the clinic promptly if you notice anything concerning. A full explanation of risks is provided during your consultation before any treatment proceeds.
Combining treatments is discussed during your consultation. Some patients may be assessed for a combination of muscle relaxant and volume enhancement treatments as part of a broader facial assessment. Your clinician will discuss what may be appropriate for your individual situation and anatomy. No treatment is administered without a prior assessment of suitability.
The frequency of treatment varies between individuals and is not something that can be predetermined. Patients are reviewed on an individual basis, and any ongoing treatment schedule is discussed based on each person’s response and goals. Some patients may find that muscle activity changes over time with regular treatment, though individual responses differ and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Yes. A formal consultation is required prior to any muscle relaxant treatment at BeautyFULL CMC. This appointment allows your clinician to assess your medical history, discuss your concerns, review the relevant risks, and determine whether treatment is appropriate for you. Treatment is not administered without this prior assessment.
This depends on your individual circumstances and is assessed during consultation. Muscle relaxant injections into the masseter muscles are something that some patients discuss with clinicians in the context of jaw tension, bruxism, or TMJ discomfort. Whether this is appropriate for you is a clinical decision that can only be made following a thorough assessment by your practitioner.
