Anti-Wrinkle Injections
the
injection
Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought “When did that happen?!”. Believe it or not the aging process begins from mid 20s to early 30s… and that includes you. Anti-wrinkle injections are simple and quick. A minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that delivers dramatic results.
As your skin ages, it loses its elasticity. Constant movement of the brow muscles or repeated frowning and squinting can create lines and wrinkles.
Wrinkle-reducing injections work by preventing muscles from contracting. It prevents the release of a chemical, acetylcholine, which is necessary to allow nerve impulses to send messages to muscles.
A muscle relaxant is a solution that relaxes the overactive facial muscles that create crows feet, frown lines, forehead lines and other wrinkles, in order to leave your skin looking smooth and supple whilst helping fine lines to fade and disappear.
Patients with ‘Dynamic Wrinkles’ (fine lines formed from the use and movement of muscles) show most improvement with anti-wrinkle injections.
Forehead, Frown, eyebrow lifting, bunny lines and crows (around the eyes)
The upper face is the most common area treated with Anti-Wrinkle Injections. We show most expression with our muscles up here (eeeekkkk). Small injections are made directly into the muscles to relax them and therefore smooth out those unwanted fine lines. In the process of smoothing out these unwanted fine lines we can also perform an eyebrow lift by relaxing those muscles that pull your brows down and inwards!
Marionette Lines (drooping mouth corners), refining the chin area (pebble/dimpling chin), gummy smile & platysmal bands.
We can also develop a dimply or pebbly chin as we age which nobody wants. With the use of anti-wrinkle injections you can relax and smooth out these dimples. Most patients come in wanting bigger lips in the hope that it will disguise their gummy smile when really it could be as simple as TWO injection points to relax the elevator muscles that pull your top lip up – even making your lips look plumper J. The Platysmal Bands start from the base of your neck and run up the front, left and ride sides of your neck, all the way up to the jaw. The bands can cause a lot of tension in the neck when stressed and can also make the aging process worse by pulling down the lower face.
Excess sweating of the arms or hands.
There is nothing worse. You’re just out and about trying to have a good time on a warm summer night or maybe even at a Festival during the day, you look down and all you can see is big ole’ sweat patches. Ugh.. Who wants that right? “Meeee” Said no one ever! Quick and simple, come in and see one of our consultants to sort this out. A handful of injections under the arm – the result lasts up to 6 months – enough time to cover your summer AND your summer getaway!
Ouch. That aching jaw when you wake up in the morning, the migraines and the stress tension. Ain’t nobody got time for that!! Up to five injection points on both sides of your face to relax those strong masseter muscles. By relaxing these muscles, you no longer tense/clench/grind your teeth. Just ask your Dentist! In the process, you relieve any tension or migraine related headaches. AND a added bonus is – it slims your face! SLIMS YOUR FACE.

the
process
Anti Wrinkle Treatment is a simple and quick, minimally invasive non-surgical treatment that delivers dramatic results, leaving your face looking and feeling youthful again. At the Australian Cosmetic Institute, we're experts in proving natural looking results.
- The muscle relaxant is delivered by a few tiny injections directly into the facial muscles that cause expression such as the frown lines, around the eyes or your forehead. The product works by blocking the release of transmitters from the nerves that signal muscles to contract.
- It takes around 10-15 minutes depending on the areas being treated and you can leave immediately after treatment – meaning no one from work will know if you pop in on your lunch break 😉
- The treatment takes effect within a few days and lasts from 4-6 months.
- Treatments at ACI are TGA approved and we work in collaboration with one of Australia’s most reputable companies.
- In other words, we make you look fine as hell all while maintaining safe and efficient practice!
Australian Cosmetic Institute offers Anti-Wrinkle Injections at South Yarra Clinic in Melbourne from Monday-Saturday.
You can begin your Anti-Aging Process at the age of 18. As suggested, the ageing process begins from mid 20s, although many of our patients see these changes earlier. We suggest the earlier you treat them the better. Anti-Wrinkle Injections are used as a Preventative measure. We can smooth out and soften fine lines with the use of Anti-Wrinkle Injections BUT if you leave it too late and these fine lines become deep lines – that is when Filler becomes involved.
The anti wrinkle product used at ACI is supplied by one of the most reputable companies in Australia and worldwide! It has been used by Ophthalmologists and Neurologists for many years. The studies around Anti-Wrinkle Products are abundant. Not only is the product safe, our consultants are highly trained and educated regarding anatomy of the face and functions of the medication used.
Mostly, you go about your day as usual. However it is recommended avoiding alcohol and excessive exercise for the first 24 hours. Avoid extreme temperatures such as saunas or spas (due to sweating). Avoid massaging or touching the area for the first 24 hours as you may unintentionally move the product.
