Anti-wrinkle injections are more commonly called by their commercial names, which we cannot name here due to
Australian law.
These are all types of botulinum toxin A (BoNTA) – which is a purified, medical preparation of a protein that is known to block transmission of signals that cause muscle contraction. This protein has been used for a long time in medicine to treat muscular spasms around the eye (blepharospasm), the neck (torticollis), and other areas (in the gut, bowel, gallbladder system).
In cosmetic medicine and cosmetic plastic surgery, BoNTA has an excellent application – it acts on the junction between the nerves and the muscles thereby preventing or helping to reduce the muscles in the treated area from temporarily contracting.
Therefore by careful titration, a gentle, pleasing relaxation of certain facial muscles can be achieved to bring about a smoothening of wrinkles especially those that occur with repeated facial movements, like frown or forehead lines. Only muscles treated will respond to BoNTA whilst remaining areas will still be able to animate.
The other medical application of these injections include excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
The primary reason most patients seek out treatment is to reduce the common signs of aging. Anti-wrinkle injections can help to fill in wrinkles and reduce the appearance of aging lines, making the patient appear younger. While not a permanent solution, it is a cost-effective and safe alternative to plastic surgery.
Brow ptosis or drooping brow is a common condition related to hereditary characteristics or side effects of certain surgeries. The condition causes the lowering of the periorbital soft tissue. Anti-wrinkle injections can help to lift the tissue back to a normal position.
While many patients misunderstand the use of anti-wrinkle in the treatment of migraines, it is necessary to understand that the injection will not eliminate the condition. However, it will reduce many of the significant side effects of the disorder. For example, anti-wrinkle injections can reduce nausea and sensitivity to light.
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating. Anti-wrinkle injections works by blocking or shielding the sweat glands in the areas most affected by the condition, like the armpits, feet or hands.
Excessive eye twitching is more common than you may think, and it can lead to vision problems and pain in patients. Anti-wrinkle injections helps to relax the muscles in the eyelid and reduce or stop the twitch.

Eyebrow lift with antiwrinkle is a safe, quick, relatively easy, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves the use of anti wrinkle injections to relax the muscles between the eyebrows, which smoothes out the furrow (frown) lines and at the same time, lift the brows by allowing the upper muscles of the forehead to have a greater pulling effect on them.
Results typically last about 3-4 months
Your injector may apply anaesthetic cream or ice to reduce discomfort. Small injections using a very fine needle are performed to the eye area into the muscles which causes the eyebrows to be lowered Overall, the treatment will only take a few minutes to complete.
Any swelling, bruising or tenderness should subside within 48h. You can see results within a week, but some people may not notice improvements until a month later.
Lip flip involves the precise placement of just a few units of anti wrinkle injections along the upper lip muscle, near the border, to relax and “flip” the lip to make more of the upper lip visible. This creates a fuller, plumper, but natural-appearing upper lip.
Results typically last about 3-4 months
Your injector may apply anaesthetic cream or ice to reduce discomfort. The procedure involves injecting a very small amount of anti wrinkle product into the muscle just above your top lip. This will relax the muscle around your mouth, which allows the top lip to gently ‘roll out’, creating the illusion of more volume, as well as stop your top lip moving up too far when you smile.
After your injections, you can immediately return to your normal activities.
Facial slimming is a popular procedure, involving the careful anti wrinkle injection into the sides of the jaw, causing enlarged muscles (technically called masseter muscles) to relax and slim. Once relaxed, the muscles shrink to a much smaller and more feminine size and shape.
Results typically last about 3-4 months
Your injector may apply anaesthetic cream or ice to reduce discomfort. Jawline Slimming treatment consists of a small number of tiny injections and will cause a minimum of discomfort. The procedure will not take more than a few minutes, and the pain level is low.
Any swelling, bruising or tenderness should subside within 48h. You can see results within a week, but some people may not notice improvements until a month later.
