Wrinkle Reducing Treatments Perth

What Are wrinkle relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers, are a minimally invasive, non surgical treatment that targets the muscles that are responsible for expression lines and wrinkles.

The wrinkle relaxer substance is a natural purified protein. We are unable to advertise the brand name due to the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations. Be rest assured that only the most widely recognised and researched brand is used at the clinic.

How are wrinkles formed?

1. Wrinkles can be caused by the repetitive muscle movement that occurs with facial expression. These are called dynamic lines. With consistent movement these wrinkles can become static lines that are always present as they are imprinted into the skin. Wrinkle relaxers can have a profound effect on expression lines.

2. As we age, we experience loss of volume to the face. This loss of support contributes to the descent of facial tissue and slowly lines and folds will appear. Dermal Fillers are an excellent non surgical treatment to address this.

3. Loss and damage to collagen and elastin within the skin, along with changes to our bone structure will also contribute to wrinkles.

Ageing skin is a natural phenomenon. Genetics and lifestyle also play a role as well as environmental factors like sunlight, smoking, illness and stress.

how do wrinkle relaxers work?

Treatment with wrinkle relaxers, target specific muscles and work by temporarily slowing down their movement.

Wrinkle relaxers will block the transmitting messages from the nerves to the treated muscle. It is this lack of communication that slows down the muscle movement and it can no longer contract.

Reduced muscle movement will result in a dramatic improvement to expression lines and wrinkles. Treatment is powerfully preventative as reduced muscle movement addresses the core cause of the wrinkles.

What can wrinkle relaxers Treat?

Wrinkle relaxers are effective wherever there are expression lines or areas of overactive muscle.

• Frown lines, forehead lines and lines around the eyes (crows feet).

• Bunny lines on the nose (creases that form when you scrunch up your nose).

• Eyebrows for an eyebrow lift and shaping.

• Lips, by relaxing and lifting the lip, sometimes called a lip flip.

• Gummy smile (when you show too much of the gum when smiling).

• Lines around the mouth and corners of the mouth. Can be caused by smoking or with pursing of the lips.

• Jawline Slimming / Teeth grinding (a dual treatment and effect).

• A dimpled chin or chin crease.

• Neck bands. Horizontal and vertical lines can be improved and a lifting effect can be obtained with treatment along the jaw.

Wrinkle relaxers are also used to treat several medical conditions such as:

• Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

• Chronic migraine.

• Cerebral palsy.

• Overactive bladder.

• Cervical dystonia.

What does wrinkle relaxer treatment involve?

Wrinkle relaxers are a non surgical treatment and do carry risks, but is a simple, straight forward and effective treatment.

• I will provided a thorough consultation at my Perth cosmetic clinic prior to any wrinkle relaxer treatments.

• Following a careful assessment, a tailored treatment plan will be provided.

• Photographs will be taken to track your results.

• The treatment area is cleansed thoroughly.

• The treatment involves a small injection into selected facial muscles using an exceptionally fine needle.

• Discomfort is generally minimal and brief, and no anaesthetic is usually required.

• Excluding the consultation time, the treatment generally takes around 15 minutes.

• You may return to work immediately if required.

how long do results last?

For most people, the effect will last 3-4 months in commonly treated areas, however this will vary for a few reasons such as:

• The dose that you have received. Higher doses may prolong the effects. Those seeking more natural results will find the treatment does not last as long.

• The area that was treated. Some areas cannot be treated with higher doses and therefore the effect will be shorter in duration.

• Other factors such as metabolism, illness or those who exercise vigorously may experience a reduced longevity of results.

The treated area will look its best approximately 2 weeks following treatment and then slowly return to its normal state of activity. It generally takes 5-6 weeks for the muscles to slowly start working again and this time will vary.

Repeated treatment with wrinkle relaxers is advisable. This way the muscle is in a constant state of relaxation and this is a powerful way to prevent the formation of wrinkles. Regular treatments may also produce longer lasting results as the muscles become weaker.

Longevity of wrinkle relaxer results will be discussed at your consultation.

how long does it take for wrinkle relaxers to work?

Results are not instant after wrinkle relaxers, they will evolve.

Results to the upper face evolve within 14 days and can take longer to take effect in some areas of the lower face.

What to expect after Anti Wrinkle Injections?

Following wrinkle relaxers there may be mild swelling and redness at the injection sites and occasionally bruising.

There are some general precautions that should be taken to reduce the risks of side effects and to obtain the best results. I will provide you with your aftercare instructions.

You will be requested to return to the clinic 2 weeks following your treatment to ensure that you are satisfied with your results and to assess the need for any dosage adjustments. It may take a few treatments to determine your perfect dose.

will i look natural after wrinkle relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers are often associated with producing a “frozen” or unnatural appearance.

However, many people simply wish for a more refreshed and natural rejuvenation. This is certainly achievable with wrinkle relaxers. Treatment can deliver a dramatic softening of wrinkles without eliminating all facial expression.

It is important to be treated by an experienced injector who is willing to understand your needs, who can judge the size of your muscles, deliver an appropriate dose and produce beautiful natural results.

I can work with you and tailor the treatment by adjusting the wrinkle relaxer placement and dosage to suit your treatment goals.

what are the risks of Anti Wrinkle Injections?

Wrinkle relaxers are a medical procedure and therefore carry some risk.

Injection related after effects can include slight redness and bruising.

Actual side effects are rare and if experienced, temporary;

• Drooping of the eyelids (applicable to frown & forehead)

• Flattening of the eyebrows (applicable to frown & forehead)

• Asymmetry of the treated area.

• Difficulty swallowing, whistling, speaking and asymmetrical smile (only applicable with certain mouth, neck or jaw treatments)

I have extensive experience and all measures will be taken with technique to minimise complications.

Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding or have an underlying neurological condition cannot be treated with wrinkle relaxers.
