Droopy eyelids, medically known as ptosis, can affect one or both eyes and often result in a tired or aged appearance. This condition can be caused by various factors, including ageing, genetics, or certain medical conditions.
At FACEMED, we offer a range of effective treatments for droopy eyelids, including the use of muscle relaxants, to help restore a youthful and refreshed look. If you are experiencing droopy eyelids and are interested in learning more about muscle relaxant treatments, please contact us to schedule a consultation.
Droopy eyelids can be caused by several factors:
As we age, the muscles that support the eyelids can weaken, leading to sagging.
Some people are genetically predisposed to developing droopy eyelids.
Certain medical conditions, such as myasthenia gravis or diabetes, can contribute to droopy eyelids.
Trauma to the eye or surrounding areas can result in droopy eyelids.
Damage to the nerves controlling the eyelid muscles can also cause ptosis.
At FACEMED, we utilise muscle relaxants as a non-surgical treatment option for droopy eyelids. Muscle relaxants work by temporarily paralysing the muscles responsible for the drooping, allowing the eyelids to lift and create a more alert and youthful appearance. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and has little to no downtime, making it an ideal solution for many patients.

Muscle relaxants are injectable treatments that temporarily weaken the muscles responsible for causing droopy eyelids. By inhibiting the muscle activity, the eyelids can lift, reducing the appearance of sagging.
The muscle relaxant treatment typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the extent of the condition and the specific requirements of the patient.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort throughout the treatment.
Results from muscle relaxant treatments can be seen within a few days to a week after the procedure. The effects generally last for three to six months, after which repeat treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired appearance.
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including slight bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified professional.
Monica is extremely skilled at what she does, every procedure I have had has made me look natural, refreshed and more youthful. She is very professional and gives me confidence in her abilities. The clinic is absolutely spotless and run efficiently. I have been seeing her for several years and would highly recommend her services.
To say I’m pleased with the service is an understatement, outstanding patient care and a first class service. Doctor George and Team are by far the best dental team I’ve experienced. The FACEMED facility is of the highest standard and I highly recommend that anyone looking for any dental treatment to look no further than here.
Monica is truly amazing. The results are phenomenal and very natural. Monica spends time assessing your particular facial structure and physiology and treats accordingly, always being careful to produce the best results – she provides a bespoke service and her years of experience are priceless – I travel an hour to go to her! Would highly recommend and will never go anywhere else!
I hadn’t been to the dentist for year as i’ve always been too scared!! I plucked up the courage after Dr Ketan Sheth treated my 9 and 11 year old children and they were fine. Can honestly say now I don’t know why I didn’t go sooner. Dr Ketan Sheth is a fantastic dentist and all the staff and the surgery as a whole there is 5 star! Thank you for all your help and see you in 6 months.
I have been using FACEMED for a number of years now for natural, painless Botox injections. A few years ago I decided to also have Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery. The clinic has its own operating theatre for the Consultant Plastic Surgeon to perform surgery, the results were perfect. FACEMED is immaculately clean, the staff are professional and helpful and Monica is an absolute expert in her field.
I love my experience when visiting FACEMED. Such a relaxing, professional atmosphere. Furthermore, I look forward to seeing the results of my treatments, of which I am never in doubt. I totally recommend FACEMED for truly excellent results.
