Uncover Your Youthful Appearance

Anti-aging treatments are designed to subtly rejuvenate your face and soften wrinkles using a special product that helps muscles relax and reduce fine lines caused by everyday facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, and squinting.*

It is worth mentioning that anti-aging treatments have also been used to treat various medical conditions for many years, such as migraine pain, TMJ pain, and excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis). They were formally approved for cosmetic applications in Australia in 2002.

*Individual results may vary.

Using a tiny needle, the cosmetic doctor or our highly qualified injector nurse administers drops of the solution into the muscles that create the wrinkle (not into the wrinkle itself). When injected, the solution blocks the nerve impulse from reaching that area. This relaxes and loosens the muscle, which gradually softens the wrinkle or sometimes even makes it disappear.* The muscle spasms or movements that cause wrinkling also stop or are greatly reduced after this treatment.*

Each session at our Kew clinic in Melbourne takes approximately 30 minutes, and you will usually see results within three to seven days after your treatment.*

You can expect a further benefit after one to two weeks post-procedure, with effects lasting for several months.*

If your facial expressions are beginning to cause premature wrinkles and your skin is starting to naturally lose collagen, our solutions may be right for you. Although this solution is designed to help reduce static wrinkles, they are most effective for superficial wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions.*

Common treatment areas include:

›  Crow’s feet* – Fine lines around the eye area that can be made worse by excessive squinting and sun exposure.
›  Frown lines* – Lines that appear on the brow due to excessive frowning.
›  Forehead lines* – Lines caused by contraction of the forehead muscles, such as when raising the eyebrows.
›  Smoker’s lines* – Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and lips.
›  Necklines* – Wrinkles on the neck caused by aging and sun damage.
›  Bunny lines* – Lines that appear on the sides of the nose when smiling.

These treatments may also be effective for:

›  Cheek slimming*
›  Jaw slimming*
›  Teeth grinding*
›  Migraines*
›  Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)*

These injections are not safe if you are pregnant.

Patients who receive injections at our Melbourne clinic report very little pain, mainly because the needles used are very fine and thin (i.e., micro-needles). However, you may experience some discomfort during the procedure, often described as ‘heavy pressure’.

Because the treatment requires no sedative or anesthetic, you will be able to resume normal activities immediately afterward.

Although complications are rare, some people may occasionally experience the following short-term effects for one to two weeks after receiving treatment:

›  Localised pain
›  Headache
›  Tenderness or bruising
›  Droopy eyelid or eyebrow (very rare)

The likelihood of these adverse effects may increase if you are on antibiotics or other medications. That’s why full disclosure and consultation with our professional cosmetic physician are so important before undergoing treatment.

Please note these injections are NOT safe for pregnant women as they may harm the placenta.

The benefits last approximately four to seven months, depending on each individual. The effects wear off very gradually, at which point you may return for another treatment.

Shopping around for the cheapest injections is unwise and not recommended, as the final results depend on the skill of the cosmetic specialist who performs the procedure.

The specific amount you pay will depend on several factors, including:

›  Area/s you are treating, i.e., whether you’re getting under-eye treatments or treatments for wrinkles of the forehead**
›  Number of areas you want to be treated
›  The muscle mass of those areas
