Lines and Wrinkles Sydney

A variety of non-surgical treatments are available to target lines and wrinkles, with one of the most popular options being muscle relaxant injections. This technique involves the use of tiny, ultra-fine needles to inject a small amount of muscle relaxant into the areas of concern. Discomfort is minimal, but a cold compress can be applied to ease any discomfort if necessary. The entire procedure is quick, typically taking just a few minutes. Results start to appear within two to three days as the treated muscles begin to relax and facial lines are reduced, with the full effect visible within one to two weeks.

Lines and wrinkles are primarily caused by the repeated contraction of facial muscles. These muscle relaxant products work by blocking neurotransmitters, preventing the muscles from contracting, which leads to a noticeable reduction in lines and wrinkles. For instance, these injections can be used to relax muscles around the eyes, effectively diminishing the appearance of crow’s feet.

It’s worth noting that static lines—those that are present even when the face is at rest—do not show immediate improvement. However, with continued treatments, the skin that is typically creased has the chance to rest and repair, often resulting in a noticeable improvement in static lines over time.

Commonly treated areas include frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Additionally, these products can be used to achieve a brow lift by reshaping or elevating the brow’s position for a more refreshed appearance.
