As we age, our skin undergoes natural changes that can lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles. These changes are influenced by various factors, including repeated facial expressions, the gradual decrease of natural substances in our skin such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, as well as environmental factors like sun exposure, smoking, and stress.

 

Cosmetic injectable treatments have been used for aesthetic purposes for over two decades. These treatments were initially approved in Australia for medical conditions such as movement disorders of the eye and face in 1993, and in New Zealand for eye spasms and crossed eyes in 1991.

 

During a consultation, the experienced practitioners can discuss various cosmetic treatment options that may help address your concerns about facial lines and wrinkles. These treatments are generally quick, with the procedure itself often taking only 10-15 minutes following the initial consultation. Results typically begin to appear within 5-7 days, with full effects usually visible after about two weeks. The duration of results can vary, but many patients find the effects last for several months.

 

As with any medical procedure, there can be some temporary side effects, which may include mild discomfort during treatment, localised redness or swelling, and occasional headaches. In rare cases, there may be temporary effects on surrounding muscles, which typically resolve within a few days to weeks.

 

It's important to note that certain medical conditions and life stages, such as pregnancy or breastfeeding, may preclude individuals from receiving some cosmetic treatments. Our practitioners will conduct a thorough assessment during your consultation to ensure any recommended treatments are appropriate and safe for you.

 

We encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experienced team to discuss your individual concerns and explore the range of safe, effective treatment options available to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
