Anti Wrinkle

We hear of the need to 'age gracefully' and why not do just that; have the ability to age gracefully and look the best we can possibly look without the need for surgery. We all want what is best for our skin in terms of creams and limiting sun exposure, so why not support our facial muscles as well.

Wrinkles and lines occur over time due to the contraction of voluntary muscles of facial expression. These are the muscles that allow us to smile, laugh, frown, squint, raise our eyebrows, scrunch up our nose and eyes, pout, and make a sad face. These lines are known as dynamic lines, they only appear with movement. With repeated movement we know these lines can remain at rest. These are known as static lines. Sun exposure, age and sleeping habits can worsen these lines. The lines become bothersome as it makes people appear stressed, anxious, worried, tired looking and harsh.

At least there is a solution at hand. The world's number one non-surgical cosmetic procedure; anti-wrinkle injections. They have been safely performed in Australia for over 20 years. It is registered for use for frown lines and crows feet (lines around the eyes) cosmetically as well as medically based underarm sweating; cerebral palsy in children to reduce spasticity and contractures and neck muscle spasms, and there is a wealth of safety data and evidence of its great results.

Anti-wrinkle injections act on dynamic lines, leading to a relaxation of the muscles that create them. Inconspicuously your appearance becomes softer and more youthful, with a smoothing out of the lines without creating a frozen, expressionless face. The impact is breathtaking!

This simple and quick treatment requires no anesthetic, no preparatory creams or sedation. We use a very fine needle to administer the solution, injected directly into the muscle. The feeling is invariably described as an insect sting at worst and only for a brief few seconds. It may leave some transient redness, and there are the occasional minor side effects, but for the majority of clients it is the most desirable and achievable 'lunchtime' procedure whose results speak for themselves. Effects take 3 - 4 days to kick in and last on average 4 months, but this may be longer with repeated treatments.

And just a word of warning, anti-wrinkle injections can become addictive!

Not only can we use the solution on wrinkles, but as alluded to earlier it is fantastic for excess sweat reduction in underarms, hands and feet, as well as teeth grinding and TMJ pain and does have some benefits with tension headaches and migraine.
