Harmonise Expressions

Relax & Express the best version of you.

Lines and wrinkles tell a story as we age. Expression lines become stronger, deeper, more noticeable and pronounced over time. It’s our choice in what story we want to tell.

Muscle relaxing therapy, or anti wrinkle injections, is a popular and effective solution for facial wrinkles that appear on expression.

Whilst some lines are typical of the usual ageing over time. Areas subject to more movement and creasing, such as the crow’s feet, forehead and frown lines, can pre maturely age the face and negatively effect expressions, making an individual look tired, angry or sad.

By carefully and strategically relaxing muscles, the expressions that cause unfavourable lines, and expressions, do not contract as strong. This results in expressions that are aligned more positively and authentically with you. Lines are softened and negative expressions are neutralised.

The treatment is to reduce movement; by relaxing muscles. This reduces lines from appearing preventively and reduces the likelihood of them worsening.

Our approach and intention is not to freeze and remove all expression, but to address disharmony, malalignment and disfunction, in muscle patterns, to help balance and reconfigure movements to express most harmoniously.

So it is important to note, that deep creases and lines that are present when muscles are not moving, means that relaxing muscles with anti-wrinkle, is unlikely to make a significant difference, without addressing the cause, and other contributing factors including, skin quality and volume loss.

Think different. 

The cause of a line, wrinkle, or crease is not only because of muscle movement.

If reducing lines and wrinkles is your reason for seeking treatment, it is worthwhile to consider all the layers involved in the resulting crease or wrinkle. 

You have 5 layers of your face, 1) the skin 2) the top layer of fat 3) the muscle 4) the deep fat  and 5) the bone.

As we and our faces change over time, it’s not just the muscles that change. 

The skin quality changes, less hydration, less collagen, less substance.

The volume of fat in the layers change, some areas gain fat and some areas lose fat. Like a deflating beach ball, as volume is lost, the ratio of skin to substance is reduced and therefore wrinkling is more apparent.

The structure of the bone changes, losing both density and volume, these are considered carefully to respect you and your face over time.

This is why is it important to consider you completely, assess all these different layers and address them all to truly reduce the signs of ageing and giving you the best natural outcomes.

Because the most common use of Botox is relaxing muscles, we can use this for individuals who grind and clench their teeth, we can relax the muscles involved in the action of unnecessary overuse of the jaw muscles. 

The 4 signs of grinding and clenching are:

1. Pain and tenderness in Headaches, neck, shoulders, and lower back, especially first thing in the morning.

2. Wear of teeth, sensitive teeth, excessive chipping and fracturing of dental fillings.

3. Large wider or squarer/rounder width of lower face.

4. Scalloping of the tongue, which is the indent of your teeth on the sides of you. tongue

More than relaxing muscles.

Botox can be used to relax the activity of sweating. By stopping the signals to reach the sweat glands, embarrassing excessive sweating can be managed. 

By injecting Botox around these sweat glands, underarms, hands and feet can be treated. The results may last from 6-9months.

In short, Botox relaxes muscles and reduces sweating, results usually last around 3-6 months, best to attend for a consultation to assess your needs, with a plan designed for you. Not suitable for individuals pregnant or nursing.
