Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular aesthetic procedures in Australia today. This simple procedure is mainly used to smooth wrinkles that have formed over time as a result of facial expressions like frowning, squinting, smiling, and other expressions we tend to make day after day. The treatment works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, causing them to relax. As a result, your expressions soften and the wrinkles are greatly reduced.
Anti-Wrinkle injections can help an adult patient of any age improve his or her appearance, not only imparting a more youthful look but also alleviating an overly concerned look, helping you look better refreshed or even more pleasant.
The most commonly treated areas are those where muscle activity influences facial features, such as the following:
-
Glabellar lines (a.k.a. elevens or frown lines)
-
Wrinkles around the eyes, such as crow's feet
-
Forehead creases
-
Corners of the mouth

A cobblestoned appearance to the chin

Does Plasma treatment hurt?Plasma pen treatment is uncomfortable. We recommend you come to your appointment pre-numbed with a topical numbing cream.
