ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS

With aging comes its visible signs that often leave people perturbed. The skin begins to lose its elasticity, wrinkles and facial lines formed due to repeated facial movements, the skin starts looking dull, and there is volume loss that further adds to the aging.

Muscle relaxants like anti-wrinkle injections block the muscles that play a part in the forming of wrinkles. The injection smooths out the skin that already has lines forming and prevents further creases or wrinkles.

The muscles that generally push your skin together are held back from doing so, making anti-aging injections at our Melbourne clinic both a preventive and corrective measure.

COMMONLY TREATED AREAS

• Frown lines
• Crows feet
• Forehead lines
• Smile lines
• Brows
• Corners of the mouth
• Nose
• Chin

Apart from these areas, anti-aging treatment can also be used to reduce gummy smiles, vertical neck bands, treat tension headaches and migraines, treat grinding teeth or clenching teeth, and to treat certain areas of the body that sweat excessively.

Every treatment at Cosmetic Skin Doctors (CSD) Clinic in Melbourne involves a detailed consultation that involves understanding your skin, the possible treatment options and areas to be covered, and ensuring that the patients get their desired outcomes.

Before the treatment begins, the skin is cleaned of possible pathogens and makeup with antiseptic. Once this is accomplished, the areas to be treated are identified and marked.

Using a fine needle, the injections are then injected into the areas marked using the accurate dosage and in a predetermined depth. With the needle quickly accomplishing the task, the discomfort patients would otherwise feel is greatly reduced.

Once the treatment is complete, the skin is cleaned with antiseptic once more to remove the markings and the blood.

While the side-effects do not always manifest, there may be some bruising in certain cases. You may also experience swelling and redness in the area treated, which lasts no longer than an hour. Puffy eyes are yet another side-effect.

Other side-effects are more common if the treatment is done incorrectly or if the injection is administered at the wrong place.

Most side-effects are temporary and vanish within a short period of time.

At CSD clinics our medical practitioner or registered nurse only use the best anti wrinkle product. Each person is different, but we generally see wrinkle injections lasting between 3-6 months depending on how strong the muscle is that has been treated. Periodic follow up treatments are recommended to help maintain the effects for a longer period of time.

We also offer dermal fillers which usually complement anti-wrinkle injections.

When you visit our CSD clinic in Armadale you will be in the hands of a qualified medical or nurse practitioner with a thorough understanding of the facial anatomy. They will determine exactly what is needed to achieve your desired outcome. Each client is different, and we pride ourselves in our expertise in creating natural wrinkle-free results for a fresher appearance.

It is important to know that this facial treatment does not work immediately. It is not until around 10 days after the treatment you will see maximum results, although you will start to see the first effects around 2 days after.

Most fine lines and wrinkles such as frown lines and crows feet are greatly improved with muscle relaxing injections. Smile lines can be treated with dermal filler. Prior to injecting, a numbing cream or ice is applied to the skin, to minimise discomfort. The effects of anti wrinkle injections are seen within 7-10 days.

After anti-wrinkle injections, it is possible to have some temporary swelling and bruising, which may last a few days. It is quite common around the eye area. If you use ice immediately after treatment, it may reduce bruising and swelling.
