Anti Wrinkle Injections Melbourne

Anti-wrinkle injections block the receptors that the brain sends to the muscles telling them to contract. Therefore, these injections relax the muscles and prevent the skin from wrinkling. This softens the visible look of lines for a tighter and smoother appearance.

The effects of anti-wrinkle injections typically last for 3-4 months. However, they can last longer with ongoing treatment. Factors such as which area is being treated, how your skin reacts to the treatment, and the amount of time you spend in the sun can impact results.

Anti-wrinkle injections are primarily used in the face. These are the most common areas of the face that we treat: 

• Forehead lines
• Around the eyes – Crows feet
• Eyebrow lifts
• Jaw reshaping/ Jaw slimming
• Laugh/ Frown Lines

Results will become visible within 7 days after treatment, with full effects showing after 14 days.

The procedure is only a 15-minute process where small amounts of the anti-wrinkle product are injected into your face. There is very little downtime involved and you are able to resume your daily activities immediately after treatment.

You may experience some tenderness, redness, and swelling at the injection site. However, this is very normal and will subside within 24 hours or up to a few days. An aftercare guide will be provided after the session.

Yes, anti-wrinkle injections can be used for facial slimming. As anti-wrinkles work by relaxing facial muscles, the doctor will specifically target the thick and bulky facial muscles to acheive a slimmer appearance of the face. Please note that this is not a solution to losing weight. Facial slimming does not target the fats in the face. Instead, it relaxes the muscles found underneath the fats for a leaner appearance.
