Wrinkles and lines appear as we age due to a variety of factors, including repeated movements of the facial muscles.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a safe, non-invasive, and effective treatment to assist in reducing muscle activity, which can lead to the formation of wrinkles.
Anti-wrinkle solutions are made from a bacteria protein that is very safe to inject in small doses into muscles. The protein blocks the signal from the nerve endings to the muscles and reduces the strength of the muscle. This can then reduce the appearance of wrinkles and provides a more youthful appearance. They can also be used to restore shape and symmetry to your face to balance features and assist facial harmony.
Anti-wrinkle injections are performed by our extensively trained Registered Nurses after a thorough consultation to ensure the treatment is the correct treatment for you and tailored specifically for you.

You can resume normal activities straight after treatment. Some people may have some small red bumps for 5-15 minutes post treatment, or some people may end up with a little bruising.
We advise patients to not undertake strenuous exercise for 12 hours after treatment, and no facials or face massages for 2 weeks afterwards.
