Wrinkle Correction

Wrinkle-relaxing treatments offer a safe, quick, and reliable way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, with minimal downtime, giving you a youthful, refreshed look.

From birth, your face has been expressing emotions through yawning, crying, and smiling. Over time, repetitive muscle movements lead to creases, often appearing between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and across the forehead, which can create a tired, angry, or sad appearance.

Anti-wrinkle treatments use a purified protein to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines on your face. When it’s delivered in small amounts, it temporarily reduces the movement of these muscles, which smooths out the skin and softens the appearance of wrinkles, helping restore a more youthful, relaxed expression, and may even reduce your tendency to frown.

Which areas can be treated?

Commonly treated areas include vertical lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Anti-wrinkle treatments can also be used to lift the eyebrows, prevent the corners of the mouth from drooping, reduce gummy smiles by lowering the upper lip, and diminish neck bands. They can refine and slim the jawline by reducing muscle bulk, smoothing the cobbled appearance of the chin, and erasing horizontal lines above the chin.

It’s possible to keep wrinkles away, and in some cases, eliminate them, resulting in softened and smoother skin for a refreshed appearance. If you’re concerned about lines and wrinkles on your face, schedule a consultation with us to explore the personalised wrinkle treatments we can offer you.

Consultation and Treatment

Wrinkle-relaxing treatments are proven to be safe and effective. Before treatment, you will be provided with detailed consent and medical history forms which you will be asked to read and sign before treatment, and the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. We refrain from treating patients for wrinkle reduction applications if they are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a neurological disease.

A small amount of botulinum toxin will be delivered to the targeted muscle using an ultra-fine needle. Topical anaesthetic cream is not usually required before application as there is very little discomfort.

The results of a treatment begin to appear from 4-14 days. Generally, after 3-4 months, the effects will begin to fade and facial features will gradually return to their former state. Repeated treatments progressively weaken the targeted muscles and can lead to more prolonged duration and less frequent treatments. Maintenance treatments are necessary to keep the effect for long periods.

Clients should avoid alcoholic beverages and anti-inflammatory medications before treatment. For the best results, schedule an appointment at least 2 weeks before any special events.

Aftercare

After your treatment, we will go over aftercare guidance to ensure you get the best results and avoid any unwanted side effects.

You can immediately return to your regular activities, drive yourself home, or go back to work. However, exercise should be avoided for 4 hours, and the treated area should not be massaged for 24 hours. It is safe to fly post-treatment, though we usually suggest waiting 48 hours before embarking on long-haul flights.

We recommend scheduling a follow-up review 2-3 weeks after your first treatment, though follow-ups are typically not necessary for subsequent sessions.
