Muscle relaxants aren’t just for wrinkles , we also use these for non cosmetic procedures such as hyperhidrosis (or excessive sweating usually in the underarms palms or soles).

And we also treat some patients for headaches. Although headache is an accepted side effect for a small number of people from the muscle relaxant for frowns, many more of our patients tell us that as the tension goes from their forehead so do their migraines and headaches.

Also we can reduce the bulk of our masseter muscle which we use for chewing or clenching our jaw and can lead to TMJ or jaw pain or teeth grinding. Reducing this muscle with our muscle relaxants for these indication is not a cosmetic procedure but some women with large masseter muscle bulk have a square jaw and we can soften their jaw line to a more feminine straighter line by using the muscle relaxant in this case as a cosmetic procedure.

But most people still want their cosmetic procedure muscle relaxant for reducing wrinkles and browlifts and stopping their frown and crows feet. Also some use it for reducing the DAO muscle which turn down the corner of the mouth and or contributes to marionettes lines.

We can even use our muscle relaxant injections to reduce the neck strap muscles and this also lifts the face.

Again we usually combine this cosmetic procedure with other cosmetic procedures for rejuvenation such as laser, filler, suture lift, neck liposuction, and also some of our beauty treatments in our new Medi Day Spa.

Dr Lanzer often finds that muscle relaxants immediately after an erbium face resurfacing enhances the result and the length of the result.

Facial Relaxant May Cure Baldness, Doctor Says

Tuesday, June 23, 2009

Could Facial Relaxants cure baldness? One Beverly Hills doctor thinks it could.
Balding men may be offered a cure for their thinning heads — injections of Facial Relaxants.
The toxic chemicals are generally used to smooth out wrinkles, but doctors have discovered it can regrow hair too.
The treatment was discovered by accident — Dr. Simon Ourian in Beverly Hills, Calif., was trying to cure his mother’s headaches. Facial Relaxants is used off-label to treat migraines, and Ourian’s mother, a cancer victim, was going through chemotherapy.
After injecting Facial Relaxants into her scalp, Ourian was stunned to see his mother’s hair regrow. Facial Relaxants dilate the blood vessels, which allows nutrients into the hair shaft and stimulates new growth.
Ourian tested his theory on volunteers for three years, and although the treatment needs repeated injections, he has a “dramatic” difference.
“I was happily surprised,” Ourian said. “As hair loss is a significant source of insecurity, there was no shortage of volunteers.”

Dr Lanzer warns this is purely speculative at the moment and there is no proven data yet.
