The ageing process, facial expressions and individual behaviour influence the formation of wrinkles. In a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant, individual facial muscles are temporarily relaxed in order to soften expression lines.
Wrinkle treatment in Düsseldorf: consultation and treatment in one place
Consultation room
Your wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant takes place at Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, from the first consultation to the treatment, the specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery at Am Seestern 4. The treatment is outpatient and takes about 15 to 20 minutes; afterwards you can usually return directly to everyday life.
The clinic is on the left bank of the Rhine in Lörick, in the Am Seestern office district near the B7. The U77 runs directly from the main station to the Am Seestern stop, and there is free parking on the premises. This makes the clinic easy to reach from all over Düsseldorf, from Meerbusch, Neuss and the surrounding area, also for a later repeat of the treatment.
What is a muscle relaxant used for?
Expression lines, frown lines and forehead lines
Effect over several months
Short outpatient treatment
Facial expressions and wrinkle formation
Facial expressions are one of the defining features of a face and at the same time contribute to the formation of wrinkles. Wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes can be treated with a muscle relaxant. Today, the active ingredient is available in several preparations from different manufacturers that contain the same active ingredient.
How does a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant work?
A wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant usually takes only a few minutes. This inhibits the transmission of stimuli from the nerve to the muscle, so that muscle and skin relax. The full effect is visible after a few days and lasts for a few months. The treatment can usually be repeated.
Methods compared
Muscle relaxant, hyaluronic acid or threads?
Which treatment is suitable depends on whether a wrinkle is caused by facial expressions, by loss of volume or by the skin’s declining firmness.
01Muscle relaxantWrinkle treatment
A muscle relaxant inhibits the transmission of stimuli from the nerve to the muscle and in this way relaxes individual facial muscles in a targeted way. It is mainly an option for expression lines at the forehead and eyes; the natural facial expression is intended to be preserved.
Treatment durationabout 15 to 20 minutes
Typical areas
Forehead, frown line, crow’s feet
Effect
first effects after about 3 days, lasts about 3 to 6 months
Afterwards
usually straight back to everyday life
Costs
from €299
02Hyaluronic acidDermal fillers
Hyaluronic acid is placed in the middle to deep layers of the skin. It binds water, replenishes volume loss and slightly lifts the skin at the treated site. In this way, deeper wrinkles can be softened and volume, for example in the cheeks or chin, can be compensated for.
Treatment durationabout 15 to 45 minutes
Typical areas
Nasolabial fold, cheeks, chin, corners of the mouth, fine lines above the lip
Effect
visible immediately, lasts about 6 to 9 months
Afterwards
minor swelling or redness subsides after hours to days
Threads made of polylactic acid are placed in the fatty tissue of the subcutis through small punctures. Small hooks anchor them in the tissue, so sagging skin can be tightened and lifted without a skin incision. It can be combined with a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant.
Treatment durationabout 30 to 60 minutes
Typical areas
Eyebrows, cheeks, jaw and neck area, forehead
Anaesthesia
local
Afterwards
home the same day, back to everyday life after a few days
Our doctors inject the muscle relaxant with a very thin needle, so that you usually feel only a slight prick. A numbing ointment and cooling can ease the prick further.
Aims of a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant
Softening of existing expression lines, for example around the eyes, between nose and cheeks or around the corners of the mouth
Prevention of the deepening of expression lines
The natural facial expression is intended to be preserved
As a rule, no downtime after the treatment

Procedure for a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant
This is how a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant proceeds at Klinik am Seestern, from the consultation to the full effect:
Step 1
Beforehand
Consultation in Düsseldorf. In the consultation we discuss which wrinkles bother you and clarify whether anything argues against the treatment, for example a pregnancy. You can book your appointment online.
Step 2
Before the treatment
Cleansing and disinfecting the face. Before we treat the muscle areas in the face, the intended areas are cleansed and disinfected.
Step 3
15 to 20 minutes
The injection. The muscle relaxant is introduced with a very thin needle. This is done only at specific points, since the muscle only has to be reached at a few typical points. For a natural-looking result, what is decisive is how much of the active ingredient is introduced at which points. In doing so, your treating doctor takes your anatomical conditions and your wishes into account. With repeated treatment the muscles are increasingly weakened, and the desired effect can be achieved more easily.
Step 4
On the same day
After the treatment. After the treatment you can usually return directly to everyday life. The effect of the muscle relaxant sets in a few hours after the treatment and builds up over several days. The full effect shows after 14 days at the latest.
Step 5
After about 3 days
First effects. The first effects are visible after about three days; the full effect is reached after 14 days at the latest.
Step 6
3 to 6 months
The effect. The body breaks down the active ingredient over time, so the effect lasts about 3 to 6 months. With regular use, the treated muscle is weakened, and the intervals between treatments may become longer.
How should I behave after the treatment?
Do not rub or massage the treated areas during the first three to four hours after the treatment. On the day of treatment, refrain from exercise, sauna and sun exposure. Slight swelling subsides after a short time and can be covered with make-up until then. Postpone the treatment if you are pregnant or are currently taking antibiotics or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).
Which wrinkles can be treated with a muscle relaxant?
Muscle relaxants are a non-surgical treatment option, above all for expression lines. Our doctors at Klinik am Seestern use them for frown lines (glabellar lines) at the root of the nose, for horizontal forehead lines, for crow’s feet, for lateral and medial brow lifts, for fine lines around the mouth, lines on the bridge of the nose and downturned corners of the mouth.

The muscle relaxant inhibits the release of messenger substances at the nerve endings. As a result, the treated muscles are temporarily relaxed. The body breaks down the active ingredient over time, so the effect lasts about 3 to 6 months. With regular use, the treated muscle is weakened, and the intervals between treatments may become longer.
Is a muscle relaxant toxic to my body?
The muscle relaxants used at Klinik am Seestern are proteins. The doses used in aesthetic treatment are far below the amount that would be dangerous for the body. We brief you on possible side effects before the treatment.
How safe is a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant?

Like any treatment, however, this one can also have side effects, for example slight swelling at the injection sites. We discuss this with you in the medical briefing.

We do not use a muscle relaxant during pregnancy, in the case of a local infection at the injection site, or in the case of a known hypersensitivity to any of the components.
When does a wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant take effect?

I am a lipoedema and lymphoedema patient and have been trying to find help for about 10 years. Here it was no problem at all! I was called in quickly, was well looked after, my questions were answered very professionally, and I was able to leave the practice in tears of joy! Many thanks for the support so far.

I had my appointment at the practice for a consultation about my lipoedema, and I really want to leave a review even though I haven't had any surgery there yet. The reason is that this was the first time I felt truly taken seriously during an examination of my lipoedema. Dr. Witt was very friendly and professional from the start, and at the same time incredibly pleasant and humane. He took an exceptional amount of time, examined me very thoroughly and answered all my questions in detail. He is incredibly respectful and explains realistically what could be done and how the whole process would work. I found it particularly positive that at no point did a hectic or unpleasant mood arise. You never had the feeling of being “brushed off” or being under time pressure. Instead, the whole atmosphere was calm, relaxed and trusting. Dr. Witt was very committed, photos were taken of the affected areas and every possible treatment was explained in an understandable way. Dr. Witt explained everything in detail, yet never came across as complicated or distant. Although he is an absolute specialist in his field, I felt at all times that I could speak openly and ask any question. It felt more as if I had been a patient there for a long time. It was also particularly important to me that I never felt pushed towards an operation. It is still not at all clear whether I will have my operation at all, and yet I was taken incredibly seriously and treated with respect. That is exactly what built so much trust in me. I would also very much like to mention the lady at reception, Marris, in a positive way. She was super polite, had a very pleasant and calm manner and immediately gave me a good feeling. Although it was almost 5 p.m. and the end of the working day was approaching, she was incredibly friendly to me and did not seem at all annoyed or stressed. It is precisely such little things that make a huge difference to me personally and reinforced my positive overall impression of the practice. The practice itself is also absolutely impressive. It is extremely modern, high-quality and stylishly furnished. You feel more as if you are entering a luxury hotel than a traditional doctor's practice. Everything seems very well thought out, calm and professional. The organisation around the appointment was also excellent. Even before the appointment, communication was always very friendly, quick and professional. Questions were answered immediately and the whole process seemed perfectly organised. I was also allowed to park in the clinic's car park, which was an enormous relief since everything in the area was completely full. Although it was already later in the afternoon, Dr. Witt even personally saw to it that enquiries were made internally about my question regarding costs. Shortly after I had left the practice, I already received all the information by email. That too simply shows how professionally and attentively they work there. Overall, an exceptionally positive experience, of a kind you unfortunately only rarely have in the medical field. Absolutely fabulous.

Everything was great, just one small remark..... I didn't get any dinner/bread in the evening. The most important thing for me was the operation, or rather everything around it.

I was welcomed and advised incredibly kindly. The consultation takes place on an equal footing and without medical jargon, and what I like best is that they paid attention to what the best treatment is for my concern, and not to what would earn the practice the most money. I took a week to think it over, but actually the decision to choose the clinic was made much sooner.

I had a consultation and felt taken seriously and understood. They took a lot of time for me, and the examination and the conversation were very thorough. In the end, the treatment is too expensive for me, so I won't be able to have it done.

I was welcomed very nicely. The doctor was also very nice and answered all my questions. She also showed understanding that one does not decide straight away.
