Anti-Wrinkle Injections – Soften Lines and Refresh Your Appearance

Anti-wrinkle injections are a widely used non-surgical cosmetic treatment that can assist in temporarily reducing the appearance of dynamic facial lines and wrinkles, such as those on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines). These treatments are suitable for individuals looking to achieve a smoother and more refreshed facial appearance, while maintaining their natural facial movements.

At our Melbourne clinic, anti-wrinkle treatments are administered by registered medical practitioners trained in cosmetic injectables.

Why We Don’t List Specific Treatments: Australian Advertising Guidelines prevent us from directly naming or promoting prescription-based cosmetic treatments online. This includes mentioning specific product names or using before-and-after images that could suggest the use of these products. As well as pricing, testemonials or reviews on our website. Many of those products available in Australia are prescription-only and require an in-person consultation with a qualified health practitioner.

How Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work

Anti-wrinkle products contain a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. This muscle relaxation helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions over time.

What to Expect

1. Consultation:
The process begins with a consultation with one of our doctors, who will assess your facial concerns, discuss your goals, and determine whether the treatment is appropriate for you.

2. Preparation:
The skin is cleaned before treatment. In some cases, a topical numbing cream may be applied to improve comfort.

3. Treatment:
A very fine needle is used to inject small amounts of the anti-wrinkle solution into specific muscles. The injections are usually well tolerated and take only a few minutes to perform.

4. Gradual Onset of Results:
Over the following 3 to 7 days, the treated muscles begin to relax, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles may become less prominent. The results typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, muscle activity, and the specific product used.

5. Maintenance:
Repeat treatments are usually required to maintain the desired effect. Your practitioner will provide guidance on when and how often to return for follow-up treatments.

Treatment Outcomes

While anti-wrinkle injections can reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, outcomes vary between individuals. The goal is typically to achieve a subtle and natural-looking result that preserves the ability to make normal facial expressions. As with all medical procedures, there are potential risks and side effects, which will be discussed during your consultation.
