What is wrinkle reduction

Wrinkle reduction is a non-surgical treatment that can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment involves using a prescription-only medicine, which temporarily relaxes the targeted muscles.

Wrinkle reduction treatments are often used to address areas such as:

  • Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
  • Surprise lines or forehead lines (expression lines)
  • Laugh lines or crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
  • Bunny lines (lines along the side of the nose)
  • Masseters (the chewing muscles in the jaw)
  • Nefertiti lines (the muscle bands in the neck)

Understanding the TGA restrictions

Due to TGA restrictions on advertising prescription schedule 4 products and medications in Australia, we are no longer able to use terminology to describe these products, show before and after photos of treatment results, or provide pricing information. For detailed information about non-surgical rejuvenation treatments including wrinkle reduction, please contact the clinic to book a consultation.

How wrinkle reduction works

A wrinkle reduction treatment works by using a purified protein that temporarily blocks the nerve signals to the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting as strongly. This reduction in muscle activity can help to soften the appearance of fines lines and wrinkles, whilst relaxing muscle strength and movement.

Having a wrinkle reduction treatment

Undergoing a wrinkle reduction treatment is a straightforward procedure that typically takes around 15-30 minutes. A general outline of what you can expect includes:

  • Consultation: During your consultation, our registered health practitioners will discuss your concerns and assess whether wrinkle reduction is suitable for you. This will involve discussing your medical history, any medications you are taking, and your treatment goals.
  • Treatment: If having wrinkle reduction is appropriate for you, the treatment will involve a series of small injections into the targeted areas. The injections are generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort.
  • Aftercare: After the treatment, you can usually resume most normal activities within 24-48 hours. It’s important to follow all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to help ensure the best results and minimise potential side effects.

Results from wrinkle reduction

You may start to notice the effects from a wrinkle reduction treatment after a few days, with the full results becoming visible within an average of two weeks. The effects typically last between 3 to 4 months depending on the individual. Regular follow-up treatments may be recommended to maintain the results achieved.

Risks of wrinkle reduction

You may experience some bruising, swelling, or redness following treatment. Serious health risks are rare, even with long-term use, and potential complications are always discussed during the consultation, including:

  • Mild swelling or redness at the injection site, which usually settles within hours.
  • Bruising at the injection site, which usually settles within 2 days to a week.
  • The injected muscles may not weaken enough, and a touch-up may be needed after two weeks.
  • Eyelid drooping which can be managed with eye drops if needed.

Suitability for wrinkle reduction

Undergoing wrinkle reduction may be an option for adults who wish to address specific facial lines, target unwanted wrinkles, and for muscle relaxation in the treatment areas. It’s important to always have a consultation with a qualified health practitioner who can assess your individual circumstances and determine whether wrinkle reduction treatments are appropriate for you.
