Ever wish you could just stop the clock and preserve things as they are, whether it’s your job, your relationship or maybe your appearance? But what if, instead of stopping the clock, you could turn it back? Not just stop the visible signs of ageing in their tracks, but smooth them out so they’re much less noticeable? At our Melbourne clinics we offer anti ageing treatments that help to get rid of frown lines, reduce lip lines, remove forehead wrinkles, minimise the wrinkles under eyes, and much more. By administering non-invasive anti-wrinkle injections in the face, you can remove lines and wrinkles that add years to your appearance.
How Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a safe, effective and extremely popular wrinkle reduction treatment that can help take years off your face in just minutes.
They contain muscle relaxants made from a natural, purified protein which is injected into the face using very fine needles. These relaxants inhibit the nerve endings that cause the wrinkle-causing muscles in the face to contract, reducing their ability to do so. This helps to soften expression and age lines, resulting in a younger, softer and refreshed appearance.
Whether you opt for treatment around the nasolabial lines, want to get rid of smile lines, or want laugh line fillers to smooth out lip wrinkles, anti aging injections allow you to reduce the appearance of common signs of ageing.
About the Treatment
If you’re looking for a non-surgical, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that requires little to no recovery time, anti-wrinkle injections can deliver the results you’re looking for. Used for cosmetic purposes to treat everything from forehead wrinkles to lip lines, these injections can also be used to treat the likes of eye spasms, central nervous disorders, and more.
Smile Lines
Smile lines, also known as laugh lines or nasolabial folds, form as the muscles contract with every repeated smile or laugh. They form on the sides of the mouth and can finish up towards the nose. Smile lines are some of the deeper lines around the mouth, and while they indicate that you’re someone who smiles and laughs a lot, they can lead to an aged appearance. Through nasolabial folds treatment with anti-wrinkle injections, the muscles that contract when you smile or laugh are relaxed, thus reducing their ability to form wrinkles. Laugh line fillers also work with the skin’s natural elasticity to ‘push’ out the existing wrinkles, giving a much smoother, more youthful appearance.
Frown Lines
While many people might think that frown lines are the long forehead lines above the eyes, they are in fact the wrinkles that form between the eyes. Frown lines, as the name suggests, form when the muscles contract during the frowning motion. They can be exacerbated by sun damage to the skin, as ultraviolet rays can break down the collagen and elastin, thinning out the skin and significantly reducing its elasticity. Wondering how to get rid of frown lines? Anti-wrinkle injections into the affected area can provide the skin with the collagen it needs to smooth out the wrinkles and improve your appearance immensely.
Crow’s Feet
When we laugh, it shows not just in our mouths but also in our eyes. It makes sense then that just as we get laugh lines around our mouths, we also form lines at the outside corners of our eyes – commonly known as crow’s feet. Crow’s feet form as we start to lose elasticity in the skin around the eyes due to the reduction in the production of collagen and elastin. Crow’s feet wrinkle treatment injections allow you to replenish the substances that keep your skin smooth, reducing the appearance of wrinkles around your eyes and making you look and feel younger.
Forehead Lines
Forehead wrinkles are created every time we raise our eyebrows or frown, and are exacerbated by consistently neglecting to apply sun screen to the area. Forehead lines almost span the same distance from eyebrow to eyebrow and can be quite deep or minimal in size. Victorian Laser & Skin Clinic can help you to remove forehead wrinkles with anti-wrinkle injections that infuse the skin with the collagen and elastin for smoother, refreshed and more youthful skin.
Q & A
What areas can be treated?
The protein is injected into the face and neck area to reduce the appearance of frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet and neckbands.
What conditions can be treated?
Anti-wrinkle injections specifically treat dynamic wrinkles – those caused by facial muscle contraction – in the forehead, around the eyes, and in the neck area.
What are the advantages?
A safe treatment that has a proven track record spanning several years
Effective reduction in the appearance of facial and neckline wrinkles, usually within just 3-5 days
No downtime; you can leave the clinic and resume your normal day-to-day activities straight away
As muscle relaxants, they can also help to prevent future dynamic wrinkles appearing
How many treatments will I need?
The results from your treatment at our Melbourne clinics should last for approximately 3-4 months. People undergoing regular treatments may notice that these results last longer, as their facial muscles are retrained.
Does it hurt?
As the needles used are extremely fine and the treatment lasts just a few minutes (depending on the areas treated), any discomfort experienced is minimal, and can be eased with a cold pack if necessary.
Are there any side effects?
These injections are a safe anti-wrinkle treatment, so side effects are rare. If they do occur, they are slight and temporary. As with any injection, some minor bruising at the injection site may occur – but this is unlikely to be noticeable and can be easily disguised with makeup. Possible side effects also include headaches and a slight feeling of nausea.
Pre - Post Care
Pre-Treatment Care
Before your session, you will need a consultation to discuss your medical history and background so we can design a skin rejuvenation treatment plan that meets your needs. We do not treat pregnant or breastfeeding clients.
Post-Treatment Care
Avoid strenuous exercise or massaging the treated area for four hours immediately following treatment.
Recovery
Because anti-wrinkle injections are relatively painless and non-invasive, there is no downtime; you may leave the clinic and resume normal activities immediately following the procedure.
