Wrinkles & Lines
As we age, our skin naturally develops fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in the areas that experience frequent muscle movement such as the forehead, around the eyes and between the brows. Our clinic offers a popular non-surgical treatment that helps reduce the appearance of lines, providing a smoother, more refined appearance. Cosmetic aesthetics can also be used as a preventative measure to help soften the lines that expressions and movements of the facial muscles create.
This treatment involves a prescription only product and a thorough medical history and consultation is required to determine suitability for treatment.
Benefits
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Quick and minimally invasive
- Natural looking results - appearing more refreshed
- Long lasting effects, typically for several months
While the treatments can assist in reducing noticeable lines, the treatments can also be used to shape, reduce muscle strength, balance or create symmetry of the face.
If the area is specifically targeted, symptoms may be able to be reduced for the following concerns:
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
- Gummy smile
- Headaches and migraines
- Hay fever
- Teeth clenching or grinding
- TMJ
- Masseter muscle size

The treatment is generally minimally invasive, quick, and involves minimal downtime, with few post-treatment symptoms. Depending on the skins sensitivity and medications that are taken, some temporary and minor symptoms may be experienced such as:

- Bruising and tenderness to the area
- A mild headache depending on the area treated
- Small red dots at the injection site
Patients should avoid blood thinning medications, NSAID's, Vitamin E and fish oil (unless prescribed and required), for 1 week prior to treatment.
