Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

Due to updated TGA guidelines in 2024, we are unable to share specific details about medications, brands and price list online. To learn more, please schedule a complimentary consultation in our clinic.

Ageing is inevitable, but its effects can be postponed. In order to help you attain a more youthful appearance, anti-wrinkle injections provide a safe, non-surgical alternative for minimising deep wrinkles and fine lines. Deep, static wrinkles that form over time as a result of repeated muscle contractions are the target of these injections. We can successfully soften these lines and restore a more radiant appearance with anti-wrinkle treatments.

Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process and occur as our skin loses its elasticity and collagen. Over time, repeated facial movements such as smiling, frowning, or squinting cause the skin to fold and crease, leading to the formation of wrinkles. Sun exposure, smoking, and other lifestyle factors can accelerate the development of wrinkles by breaking down the skin’s natural collagen and elastin.
