Anti-Wrinkle Consultation

If you would like to improve the look of your skin by reducing wrinkles or preventing further wrinkles from forming, consider coming in for a facial aesthetics consultation. During the consultation, our medical professional will be able to assess your skin, discuss your expectations and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the various treatments we offer. If you are a suitable candidate, we are able to prescribe and administer anti-wrinkle procedures, among other treatments.

Anti-wrinkle procedures treatments block signals from the nerves to the muscles. The treated muscle can no longer contract, thereby allowing lines and wrinkles to relax and become less visible.

Anti-wrinkle treatments are administered using very fine, sterile disposable syringes. This ensures minimal discomfort during treatment.

Treatments generally take just minutes per area around the face, and other than mild redness, there are generally no give away signs that treatment has been performed, so you can go about your day as normal after treatment.

Results generally take 10 days – 2 weeks to take effect and a complimentary review is offered 2 weeks after treatment.

Are anti-wrinkle treatments safe?

When anti-wrinkle treatments are administered by a medically trained practitioner, there are no serious risks and most patients experience no side-effects whatsoever. Occasionally, a small bruise may occur at the site of the procedures which disappears within days, and mild headaches lasting a few hours in very few cases. In rare cases, a reversible condition known as ptosis causing heaviness of the eyelids may occur. However, proper regard to dosages and location of procedures in susceptible muscles should avoid this condition.

Where can anti-wrinkle treatments be used?

Anti-wrinkle treatments can be used anywhere there is an undesirable pull on the skin of the face or neck, such as:

• Forehead and frown lines
• Eyebrow lift
• The “bunny lines” around the nose
• Crow’s feet/sift lines around the eye area
• Vertical lip lines around the mouth known as “smoker’s lines”
• Indentation of the chin caused by the activity of the mentalis muscle
• Necklines (neck lift)
• Smile lift
• Jowls around the jawline
• Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
