Wrinkle Reduction Treatment Perth

Treatment targets underlying muscles and they are relaxed by blocking the nerve pulses that tell the muscles to contract. Once the muscles can no longer contract, the skin flattens, eventually smoothing existing wrinkles as well as preventing the formation of new ones.

All treatments carry risk, our cosmetic practitioner will assess you to see suitability. To reduce any risks as much as possible, we perform the procedure carefully and gently. We are experienced in these procedures, and this further reduce the risks.

Wrinkle Reduction Treatment is generally safe as long as the treatment is done properly in a sterile environment as well as administered by a qualified health practitioner.

Nevertheless, there are small risks involved with this procedure which are usually temporary and restricted to the treated areas. They include bruising, drooping of the eyelids, headache, redness and muscle soreness.

The age at which to start wrinkle reduction treatment can vary greatly from person to person and you should take into account your skin and personal skin concerns when deciding.

As we get older, the repeated use of our facial muscles and loss of collagen and elastin in the skin means we form firm lines and creases when making facial expressions. With Wrinkle Reduction treatment, we can reduce expression lines and delay how long it takes for static or firm lines to form on our face.

Wrinkle reducing treatments can also be started once static lines have already formed and you are looking for facial rejuvenation and a fresher look.

The most commonly treated areas we treat with wrinkle reduction treatment are the lines across the forehead, crow’s feet (lines next to your eyes), and the glabella (frown lines between the eyes). Other areas that we can treat with wrinkle relaxer injections include:

• Eyebrow area
• Downturned mouth
• Bunny lines
• Vertical lip lines
• Mental crease
• Jawline/ Masseter

The treatment process of wrinkle reduction treatment at our Perth clinic takes about 10-15 minutes and has minimal to no downtime. Before the procedure, our qualified cosmetic doctor or nurses will assess and review the movement of your face muscles to determine the treatment areas.

Once assessed, the treatment areas will be marked and cleansed using antiseptic solutions. You may experience slight discomfort, like the sting of an ant for a few seconds. Numbing cream can be used before treatment if you have a low tolerance to discomfort.

Since the 1970s, the use of wrinkle reduction treatment, in the treatment of medical conditions outside of cosmetic treatments has been well documented and is supported by strong medical evidence of its effectiveness. Some conditions that can be treated include:

• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
• Cervical Dystonia
• Blepharospasm – uncontrollable blinking
• Strabismus – malaligned eyes
• Chronic Migraines
• Overactive Bladder
• Cerebral Palsy

Immediately after the wrinkle reduction treatment, there may be redness, swelling, tenderness and itching. Avoid scratching, massaging or picking around the treatment area. This is normal and generally disappears within a few hours. If the symptoms persist for more than 3 days, please contact us.
After receiving your wrinkle relaxer treatment at our Perth clinic, you should avoid the following activities:

• Do not drink alcohol or complete strenuous exercise as it may result in additional bruising
• Avoid exposure to intense heat that can affect the treated areas. This include sauna, sunbathing, tanning or sports under direct sunlight.
• Sunscreen and makeup can be applied, and the area can be gently washed with a gentle cleanser after 4 hours.

The results of the wrinkle reduction treatment you received at our West Perth clinic start to become evident after 2 to 3 days and reach its maximum effect in 2 weeks. Just as the results gradually kick in, the effect of the treatment will gradually fade as well. In general, the treatment can last somewhere between 3 to 5 months, depending on the individual and the location of treatment.

When the muscle regains its function over time, the wrinkles and lines will reappear again, though usually softer than before the treatment, and another treatment is required to maintain your desired results.

At The Lime Tree Clinic in Perth, we charge by the area for our wrinkle reduction treatment. We do not charge by the unit because we take pride in ensuring the treatment you receive achieves your desired results without cutting corners. Our cosmetic nurses will always ensure you receive the highest level of care and precision during your treatment and also are equipped with artistic finesse and take the time to understand your unique needs.

If the desired result is not achieved, we will review the treated areas at two weeks and top-up the treatment if required at no cost.
