Eye lines and wrinkles are a common concern for both men and women. One of the most effective and popular treatments involves the use of muscle relaxant injections around the eye area. These injections help to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles while also opening up the eye area, which can lead to a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Additionally, this treatment can improve the look of heavy eyelids, providing a subtle lifting effect.
Dr Eddy Dona has been a specialist plastic surgeon since 2007, and is a member of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons. From your first clinic visit, and throughout your surgical journey, Dr Dona and his team will be there to make it as smooth as possible.

A variety of non-surgical treatments are available to target eye lines and wrinkles. We offer several options, including muscle relaxant injections that target specific areas of concern. These injections involve the use of ultra-fine needles to administer a small amount of product, minimizing discomfort. If needed, a cold compress can be applied to alleviate any discomfort during the procedure. The treatment itself takes just a few minutes, with results typically beginning to appear within two to three days as the targeted areas start to relax and facial lines soften. Full effects can usually be seen one to two weeks after treatment.
Eye lines and wrinkles develop mainly due to the repeated contraction of muscles around the eyes. Our treatment uses products that block neurotransmitters, preventing the muscles from contracting, which in turn leads to a visible reduction in crow’s feet and other wrinkles around the eyes.
Typically, after the initial few sessions, results from the treatment last approximately two to three months. With consistent treatments, however, the effects can extend over a longer period as the targeted muscles become retrained.
If you decide to stop the treatments, your muscles will gradually return to their normal function, and your wrinkles will revert to their original state—they will not worsen.
You can generally resume your normal activities shortly after the treatment. However, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and refrain from massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours post-treatment to ensure optimal results.
Following treatment, you may experience several common side effects, which should gradually resolve over time:
A mild headache may also occur; if needed, you can take paracetamol for relief.
You might begin to notice the effects of your treatment within two to four days, with the full effect taking up to 14 days to manifest. Additional treatments may be necessary to achieve your desired results.
If you experience any inflammatory reactions or side effects, please contact the clinic immediately at 1300 373 662. In some cases, further treatments, medications, or even surgery may be required.
For after-hours concerns, visit your local medical center or emergency department.
You can return to your normal activities, including driving, right after the treatment. However, please adhere to the following guidelines:
As part of your post-treatment care, you will receive both verbal and written instructions to guide you.
