Muscle Relaxing Injections
Advanced Neuromodulation for Face and Body
Muscle relaxing injections, often referred to as anti wrinkle injections or Botox, are the foundation of aesthetic medicine. By temporarily relaxing the specific muscles that cause dynamic lines and downward pull on the face, the skin is given a chance to smooth out, and the facial architecture is gently lifted. Dr Vix Manning uses advanced neuromodulation not just to soften lines, but to rebalance the face.
How it works
Dr Vix Manning offers a comprehensive range of advanced treatments, including upper face (frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet), lower face (softening marionette lines and downward pull), jaw clenching or masseters (relieving tension, teeth grinding, and slimming the lower face), gummy smile, downturned mouth corners, Nefertiti lift, and hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating.
Who it is for
Dr Vix Manning believes in a light, considered touch. The goal is to soften negative expressions, such as looking tired, angry, or sad, while preserving natural movement and character. She does not believe in a frozen face. Note: Dr Vix Manning does not offer trend driven treatments such as Traptox or Calf Tox, as weakening major functional muscles for purely aesthetic reasons goes against her medical principles and her foundations before decorations philosophy.
What to expect
It typically takes 3 to 5 days for the treatment to begin working, with the full effect visible at 14 days. Results usually last between 3 and 4 months, after which muscle movement will gradually return to normal. Hyperhidrosis treatment often lasts significantly longer, typically 6 to 9 months.
Dr Vix Manning's approach
Dr Vix Manning uses a precise, tailored dosing strategy to ensure you retain natural movement and expression, simply softening the lines that cause concern. Her focus is always on treatments that support long term health and structural integrity.
