Our approach

What is neuromodulator treatment for anal-area muscle relaxation?

At DGB Clinic, intimate wellness includes concerns that are rarely discussed, even when they cause functional or sexual discomfort. Persistent tension in the muscles of the anal sphincter can lead to spasms, discomfort during sex or pain with bowel movements.


We offer targeted neuromodulator (botulinum toxin) injections to relax these muscles. This approach has been used in proctology for chronic anal fissures and may be considered to improve comfort for women and men.


By temporarily reducing muscle activity, the treatment allows the sphincter to relax gradually, easing tension and related pain.

Treatment goals

Targeted muscle relaxation for renewed intimate comfort

This treatment reduces excessive anal sphincter muscle activity to allow gradual, temporary and reversible relaxation.


The technique:

After topical numbing cream is applied, a physician trained in intimate aesthetics places neuromodulator injections in the anal sphincter muscles. The session is brief and does not require special bowel preparation.


Benefits:

  • May reduce anal-area tension and involuntary spasms.

  • May improve comfort during sexual activity involving the anal area.

  • May lessen pain and small tears associated with sphincter tension.

  • Temporary, reversible treatment designed to preserve normal sphincter function.

  • No surgery, hospital stay or social downtime.

effects & longevity

Expected results

Immediate effect

Muscle relaxation develops gradually over five to ten days as the neuromodulator takes effect.

Evolution :

The full effect is usually seen after two weeks. Mild local sensitivity may occur for 24 to 48 hours and generally resolves on its own. Relaxation develops gradually while overall sphincter function is preserved.

Duration:

Effects typically last three to four months, depending on metabolism and the degree of muscle tension. Proctology studies report overall success rates above 77% for this type of injection. Repeat sessions may help maintain comfort.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

What are the contraindications?

Main contraindications include a known allergy to botulinum toxin, active infection in the area, certain neuromuscular conditions and pregnancy. A medical consultation checks whether treatment is suitable.

Does it hurt?

Numbing cream helps make injections comfortable. Most patients feel slight pressure. The session takes less than 30 minutes and needs no sedation.

Is there a risk to bowel continence?

When used as directed, treatment should not affect bowel continence. The neuromodulator targets excess muscle tension without fully paralyzing the sphincter. Its effects are temporary and reversible.

Is this treatment suitable for women and men?

Yes. Anal sphincter relaxation with a neuromodulator may suit women or men with excess muscle tension causing discomfort or limitations during sex. An initial medical consultation checks whether it is appropriate.
