Fine lines & Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are caused by the repetitive movement and contraction of our facial muscles. Initially, wrinkles are dynamic: they appear on the presence of muscle contraction and disappear when the muscle relaxes. These contractions enhance the way we express emotions on our face. Over time, these wrinkles become static, which means that they become present even without muscle movement or facial expression. Although fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process, they are not limited to older age. Habitual facial expressions, lifestyle risk factors and sun exposure are some of the reasons why these lines can also develop in younger adults.
How do Anti-Wrinkle Injections work?
Micro-doses of botulinum toxin type A are injected directly into the muscle. The substance act by blocking certain impulses (neurotransmitter) that causes the muscle to contract. Once these specific impulses are temporarily blocked, the muscle will relax and the skin will appear smoother. This effect lasts about 3-6 months and repeat doses are recommended once the toxin wears off.
What to expect
The injections are administered intramuscularly using a very fine and small needle. Pain is minimal and you may only feel like a little pinch or sting at the time of injection, This can be minimised with the use of ice packs. At the site of injection you may see tiny bumps that look like a mosquito bite this is normal and will subside quickly after the procedure is completed.
Why we trust it
Our anti-wrinkle injections are remarkably safe and are widely used across the globe. The substance used for our anti-ageing injections is called botulinum toxin type A and was approved by the The Therapeutic Goods Administration ( Australian drug regulatory agency) for medical use in 1999. In 2002, the injections were approved for cosmetic use. For your safety, it is fundamental that you receive these injections from a qualified and trained health care professional in a sterile and well-equipped medical facility.

The effect is temporary, and it varies from person to person. We cannot control the duration of treatment as this depends on the neurotoxin effect on the body rather than the injector.
In general, for most people it lasts roughly 3-6 months, being that the average for re-treatment is normally around the 4 months mark. Regular treatments are recommended to maintain the desired results and provide better long term and preventive results.
