Reducing the signs of ageing

Wrinkle reduction are extremely popular and are used to reduce ‘frown lines’ between the brows, the ‘crow’s feet’ at the corner of the eyes and other forehead lines. 

​

Botulinum toxin is used to relax the facial muscles that contribute to wrinkling, it is injected into specific areas using micro-needles reducing the formation of lines and wrinkles, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance.

There is usually a noticeable difference within seven days and continues to improve in the first two weeks. The effects generally last for three to four months at which point, repeat injections are required, but after repeat treatment, the effects last longer and repeat injections are required less frequently.

​

Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical treatment to help reduce the signs of ageing. They are injected under the skin to restore firmness and smoothness of the skin. 

​

Melbourne uses non-permanent fillers made from hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance within the body and therefore highly biocompatible and safe.

​

Treatments are commonly provided for lips, ‘nasolabial lines’ running from the nose to the mouth and the ‘marionettes lines’ around the corners of the mouth. It is possible to treat other fine lines with dermal fillers.

​

Effects of fillers can last from 6 – 8 months however this differs from person to person and from one area of the face to another.
