Anti Wrinkle Injections Sydney

Improve or remove lines and creases
Anti-wrinkle injections with a natural result, models 01-3

The development of lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process but facial expressions can often leave the most noticeable and lasting lines across your face. Anti wrinkle injections treatment with natural results can be achieved at MUSE Clinic in Sydney, giving a more youthful and stress-free appearance.

Deep creases have the ability to make you appear tired, stern or older than you really are but anti wrinkle injections are designed to target the muscles that are responsible for creating these lines and creases.

Anti wrinkle injections are backed by science and research, offering patients a simple and effective way to treat the effects of the repetitive contraction of the facial muscles. A number of small injections are capable of producing long-lasting effects, with each session only lasting several minutes.

Using our thorough understanding of facial anatomy and proven injection techniques, we can help you achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance after just one session.

What to Expect

The average anti wrinkle injection session won’t last longer than 30 minutes, making it an ideal lunchtime treatment.

During your appointment, your skin will be cleaned and prepped before a series of small injections will be used on the areas you want to treat. A topical numbing agent can be applied should you be concerned about discomfort. Once the product is injected, it will gradually start relaxing the muscles of the face, which reduces the stress on your skin.

Anti wrinkle injections can improve or completely remove the lines and creases that have appeared as a result of repetitive muscle contraction but it will also prevent new lines from forming going forward. If the product is unable to completely remove existing creases, it will at least prevent them from becoming deeper by inhibiting ongoing contractions of the underlying muscles.

Most patients will require a top-up treatment every three to four months to maintain their results. However, with regular use, patients will eventually require fewer treatments to retain the effects of the anti wrinkle injections.

Ideal Candidates for Anti-Wrinkle Injections

To determine your suitability for treatment with anti wrinkle injections, you will need to have a consultation at MUSE Clinic in Sydney to assess your individual characteristics and discuss your desired results. Following a thorough analysis of your medical history and your skin, we will be able to determine whether you are an ideal candidate for anti-wrinkle injections. The severity of the lines and creases that you want to minimise will be taken into account before a personalised treatment plan can be finalised.

As a guide, patients should be in good physical and mental health, and have realistic expectations as to the results that anti-wrinkle treatment can achieve. Unfortunately, pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as patients with underlying nerve conditions, will not be able to undergo this treatment. Additionally, patients should not have any active skin injections in the treatment area.

The Anti-Wrinkle Procedure

Anti-wrinkle injections, or wrinkle relaxers, work by blocking the nerves impulses that control muscle contraction in the targeted area. Your treatment area will be thoroughly sterilized before treatment, and a topical numbing cream can be used to aid your comfort levels. Using a tiny needle, small amounts of the wrinkle relaxer will be precisely injected into the treatment area at a time.

The specific steps of the procedure will vary, depending on the goal of the treatment and the area that is being treated:

  • To treat fine lines and wrinkles, the wrinkle relaxer will be injected into the affected area to relax the muscles, preventing the muscle contraction that causes lines to show. To help determine the precise area that the wrinkle relaxer will need to be placed, your injector might ask you to frown, squint or make other facial expressions to allow full visibility of the lines.
  • If the purpose of your anti-wrinkle treatment is to treat a gummy smile, the wrinkle relaxers will be placed in the areas that will relax the smile, causing less gum to show. Usually, the injections are placed on either side of the nose to relax the muscle that pulls the top lip up too high.
  • If your treatment will be focused on slimming the calf muscles, the anti-wrinkle injections will be injected into the muscle to reduce the size. The amount of wrinkle relaxer used will depend on the size of the calf muscles.
  • To treat flared nostrils, winkle relaxer can be injected into the nostrils to soften and weaken the appearance of the flare.
  • To sculpt a wide jaw, anti-wrinkle injections can weaken the muscles around the jaw, creating a smaller jawline.
  • If you need to treat hyperhidrosis, small amounts of wrinkle relaxer can be injected into the affected area, such as the underarms, to inhibit the nerve signals that cause the glands to produce excessive amounts of sweat.

During your consultation at MUSE Clinic in Sydney, your injector can determine the specific procedure steps and explain your treatment plan so that you know what to expect.

Anti-Wrinkle Injection Recovery

After your anti-wrinkle treatment, you may notice some small red bumps on the treatment area, which should fade within about half an hour. You may also have some minor swelling or bruising that should subside within one week. During your consultation, your injector will provide you with some recovery instructions to make sure that you know how to care for the treatment area after your procedure.

To ensure an efficient recovery, you might be instructed to:

  • Try to move the muscles in the treated are within the first few hours after treatment
  • Try to sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling
  • Avoid rubbing the treatment area for eight hours
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for one day
  • Avoid excessive exposure to heat and sunlight for about three days
  • Avoid taking any types of blood thinning medication that will be identified during your consultation

Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Results

While the results of your anti wrinkle treatment will not be immediate, you will only need to wait five to seven days for the effects to become noticeable. Patients will gradually start to see a reduction in the lines and wrinkles on their face, with the full results of your treatment becoming visible after two weeks.

The effects of your anti wrinkle injections will last three to six months but this will depend on how much product was used and how your body reacts to the treatment. As the product begins to wear off, lines and wrinkles will slowly start to reappear, which is when the area will need to be treated again. With continuous use, patients can expect lines and creases to appear less severe, which means fewer anti-wrinkle injection treatments will be required.

FAQs

Can anti-wrinkle injections prevent future wrinkles from showing?

If patient’s undergo anti wrinkle treatment early, it can effectively work as a preventative measure. By relaxing the facial muscles, the treatment will stop the frequent muscle movements that cause lines to form in the first place, as well as softening the appearance of the wrinkles that are already visible.

Will anti-wrinkle treatment make me look frozen?

Known as anti-aging injections, wrinkle relaxers can relax these overactive muscles, softening the appearance of the noticeable lines in the targeted area.
