Medical Anti Wrinkle Injections at Sun & Skin Medical Centre

Sun & Skin Medical Centre offers anti-wrinkle injections, performed by fully qualified doctors at our Mount Eliza clinic.

Cosmetic anti- wrinkle injections are a popular choice with patients who want to soften lines and relax wrinkles, to achieve fresher, more youthful look to the skin. There is no downtime, so simply with a few injections, the skin can appear younger, refreshed and renewed.

At Sun & Skin Medical Centre, the products that we use for anti wrinkle injection are approved by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration), so you can be sure that you are being treated with safe, quality products.

Anti wrinkle injections, or products for injection rather, are commercially prepared medical products that are derived from Clostridium botulinum toxin. These products are carefully injected into the skin in the areas of concern, targeting specific muscles to relax them and reduce facial wrinkling.

Medical anti wrinkle injections generally need to be repeated every 3-4 months, as their effects wear off over time. The timeframe that you require between injections is dependent on the dose that is administered, the strength of the muscle, and also your body’s metabolism. Your skin doctor will be able to offer specific treatment advice for you and your skin.

Medical anti wrinkle injections can be used for cosmetic purposes, as well as for medical purposes. Cosmetic indications for these injections can include:

• Frown Lines: (glabellar area, between the eyebrows, above the nose) vertical frown lines can be smoothed
• Worry Lines: Smoothing away horizontal lines across the forehead
• Crows’ Feet: the small wrinkles around the outer corners of the eyes can be smoothed and rejuvenated, creating a brighter appearance
• Platysmal bands: (the two bands of muscle that run down the sides of the neck) can be smoothed and lifted, combating the crepe-like skin that can form there with ageing
• Gummy Smile: used to allow the upper lip to come down and better cover the gums, reducing the amount of gum tissue that shows when smiling
• Lip Flip: Soften upper lip lines and create more projection without the use of lip filler, to create a fuller looking lip
• Chin Smoothing: open pores and dimples on the skin can be minimized, improving the overall skin texture
• Corners of the Mouth: with age, the corners of the mouth turn down, making the face appear glum. Antiwrinkle injections can be used to inject into the muscles that cause the downward turning, lifting the mouth corners and restoring a fresher appearance
• Brow Lifting
• Facial Slimming.

Anti wrinkle injections can also be used for medical applications such as:

• Treating areas of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
• Relief from TMJ (temporomandibular dysfunction),Teeth Grinding
• Headache/migraine relief
• Improving the asymmetry in facial palsy.

There are typically no or very minimal side effects with anti wrinkle injections, and no downtime. In some cases, a small amount of bruising may develop over the treated area (this is more common for injections performed around the eyes), but this subsides within a couple of days, and can be easily covered with mineral makeup if required.

At the time of treatment, some redness and slight swelling in the area is normal, but usually subsides within the hour, some people may experience a mild headache for few hours that usually subsides within few hours.
