A patient perspective – Muscle relaxing treatment (1/3)

We have seen a huge rise in patients enquiring about and undergoing muscle-relaxing treatments since they were introduced in to the Dr Tanja Phillips Medical Aesthetic Clinic last year.

As we prepare to fully reopen our clinic on 12th April, which will see the return of ALL of our cosmetic treatments, we thought we’d talk to one of our patients to discuss their experience of a muscle-relaxing treatment and why it is such a popular choice. Hopefully their answers will help you decide whether or not this treatment is for you!

This 3 stage interview starts with stage 1, the stage we like to call…

TAKING THE LEAP

What made you want to get muscle-relaxing injections?

“I have been coming to see Dr Tanja for several different laser treatments over the past few years, so when I heard that the clinic would be offering these treatments I was really excited. I have always been conscious of wrinkles around my eyes and across my forehead. I did give muscle-relaxing injections a go about 5 years ago at another local clinic but I was really unhappy with the results. I found my lines didn’t reduce, they just moved to another area. It put me off for the longest time as I was so disappointed.”

What were you looking to achieve from this treatment?

“Muscle relaxing treatment* is still a bit of a taboo subject with my friends and family, so i wanted to make sure that it didn’t look obvious, fake or frozen. My husband still doesn’t know i have it done, its my little beauty secret!”

Did you do much research?

“Having had a muscle relaxing treatment in the past, I didn’t feel i needed to research the treatment process any more. What was important to me was finding a clinic that was reputable and a clinician that had a lot of experience. Although, when I contacted the Dr Tanja Phillips Medical Aesthetic Clinic to book in, I did ask to know the brand name of the injectable so I could go away and read about it.”

How did you find us?

“I have been visiting Dr Tanja for years now so she was my number 1 choice. It really was a no-brainer! My friend attends the clinic too and had undergone the treatment so it was great to see her results too.”

What appealed to you about our clinic?

“When I visited the clinic for my very first consultation i felt safe and confident knowing I was in a clinical environment, rather than a high street beauty salon. Have my muscle relaxing injections administered by a medical professional was also a huge bonus for me. Dr Tanja is highly experienced and has such a pleasant manner, I trusted her immediately.”

Tell us about your consultation…

“Booking in was a doddle. The consultation was very thorough with a full explanation of the treatment process, as well as aftercare and a discussion about my medical history. Dr Tanja even measured and marked my face before the treatment which I didn’t experience at the previous clinic. We also spoke about my desired look; I thought it was ‘one size fits all’ but Dr Tanja really listened to my needs and created a tailored treatment just for me!”
