FAQ
ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS SAFE?

All cosmetic procedures carry risks, which is why a thorough consultation with is required before commencing treatment. I ensure that you are provided with all the necessary medical information and acquire your consent before proceeding. You are also welcome to ask any questions you may have during this time to make sure you are making the right decision.
WHAT IS THE BEST TREATMENT FOR DEEP WRINKLES?
It depends on whether they are static or dynamic wrinkles. Static wrinkles are lines that exist even when your face is at rest, while active wrinkles are lines that appear only when you move your facial muscles. Anti-wrinkle injections are best suited for active wrinkles, such as those that appear when you smile (crow’s feet) or raise your eyebrows (forehead lines).
Otherwise, static wrinkles, or more severe and deeper wrinkles usually require a combination of treatment options for the best outcomes. This may include dermal fillers, thread lifts, laser treatments or skin needling. There are many factors in play when it comes to treating loose or saggy skin, and what works for someone else may be different to what works for you.
ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS RIGHT FOR ME?
It’s a personal choice, but everyone can benefit from anti-wrinkle injections, as they not only help to eradicate existing lines but prevent future ones from forming! Many patients choose to get anti-wrinkle injections for prevention and maintenance purposes before their skin condition worsens. This can help avoid having to undergo more intense treatment methods down the track as the skin continues to age and deteriorate.
There are more than 10 areas of the face and neck that you can administer anti-wrinkle injections to in order to erase lines and slim the face, which is one of the reasons why injectable wrinkle relaxers are such a popular treatment. In addition, it is quick and affordable to do compared to some other anti-ageing treatments.
WILL I SEE RESULTS STRAIGHT AWAY?
It takes roughly 2 weeks for the full effect of your wrinkle relaxers to manifest, however you might start to see some results in the first few days. It all depends on each individual, as there are variations in biology between each person.
HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST?
The effects are not permanent, and generally last an average of 3 to 4 months, although this may vary between patients. The more often you get the treatment done, the longer the results can last (in some cases up to 6 months.)
WHAT DOES TREATMENT INVOLVE?
Anti-wrinkle injections are administered using a very fine needle which some describe as the sensation of a small pin-prick or mosquito sting. The dosage required varies from client to client and on each individual’s desired look that they wish to achieve. The treatment itself is quick and safe with minimal discomfort. The actual injecting process will only take about 5-10 minutes. The rest of your appointment time involves a thorough medical assessment, treatment planning and education regarding post procedure care.
WHAT AREAS CAN I HAVE TREATED WITH ANTI WRINKLE MEDICATIONS?
Anti-wrinkle medications are most commonly used to treat lines on the forehead, frown (between the brows) and crows feet. However I believe should be used to balance out the entire face. Lip lines, gummy smile, teeth clenching/ grinding and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) are all other indications for treatment with anti wrinkle medications.
