Anti-wrinkle injections Sydney North Shore

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 Skill in Anti-wrinkle Injections: Why Come to a Plastic Surgery Practice?

  • The skill in administering anti-wrinkle injections for facial rejuvenation is based on a precise understanding of the underlying anatomy of facial muscles.
  • In a plastic surgery practice the surgeon him/herself may perform the anti-wrinkle injections or they may be performed by experienced practice nurses working in the practice. Nurses working with a plastic surgeon have received direct training from both the surgeon as well as industry leaders to allow them with the skill, knowledge and experience that allows a surgeon to trust them with their patient and reputation

  • Furthermore being a plastic surgery practice, we will only suggest anti-wrinkle treatment if it’s the right thing for you – for instance if your wrinkles are the result of loose skin, you may require a different treatment or surgical procedure, in which case spending time and money on anti-wrinkle injections may not be worthwhile.

What are the Benefits of Anti-wrinkle Injections?

  • Reduce the Appearance of Aging

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.

  • Correct Brow Ptosis

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.

  • Reduce Migraine Pain

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.

  • Eliminate Excessive Sweating

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.

  • Stop Excessive Eye Twitching

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.

How quickly will I notice the effects?
  • Effects begin after 2-3 days and can take up to 3weeks for full effect. They last 3 to 4 months. The duration depends on location of the injections, the muscles being targeted, and the patient’s overall metabolism, as well as if maintenance dosing is given – we recommend that patients are regularly reviewed and a top up dose applied to restore effects.
  • In general we will ask patients to return at the 2 week mark, to evaluate the effects, and it is typical for dosing to be added at this stage to produce desired results, rather than a large dose at the first sitting.
  • Thereafter we suggest a return to clinic at 3 – 4 month mark for assessment and retreatment.

Brow Lift

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.

Lip Flip

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.

Face Slimming

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.
