1. What’s being injected into the muscle?
A purified protein that is used to relax muscles. There are various brand names however, they all work well and can cause the muscles to relax and diminish the appearance of wrinkles.
2. What areas of the face give the best results when it comes to using muscle relaxing injectables?
By far the most popular in my clinic is crow’s feet and the vertical frown lines of the forehead. The horizontal forehead lines, although popular, can be more tricky to resolve as people age. Muscle relaxants such can also be used in the masseter muscle of the jaw to slim the lower face, this is a really popular treatment at my clinic.
It can also be used for the Depressor Anguli Oris muscle (the muscle that pulls down the corners of the mouth). Treating this muscle with muscle relaxing injectables makes the mouth less droopy. It can be used in the lip lines to give a slightly fuller appearance and in the brow area for a brow lift. It can also be used in the neck for what is known as a “Nefertiti lift”, where it’s injected into the platysmal bands to soften this area.
3.WILL I LOOK FROZEN OR FAKE?

They inject only the best product into specific muscles that soften and reduce lines, while maintaining mobility and expression.

4. ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS SAFE?
Client safety is paramount. We will only treat people aged over 18 and will only use anti-wrinkle injections of the highest quality. The type of muscle relaxant we use is a naturally occurring substance that has been safely used for over two decades. It has been scientifically proven to be safe and effective.
Our anti-wrinkle injections are also only ever administered by our team of highly skilled doctors and nurses, each of whom are masters of their craft with years of experience in the non-invasive medical aesthetics industry. We adhere to the industry’s highest regulations and value the time and effort taken to treat each client individually.
5. What brand of injections will you be using and why?
There are several different brands of wrinkle-relaxing injections licensed for use in Australia. It is important to ask what brand or brands your cosmetic doctor uses and why they have chosen those particular brands.
If you have chosen to have a dermal filler treatment to smooth away your fine lines and wrinkles, it’s equally important to find out which brand or brands the practitioner intends to use and why. Asking the doctor at what depth they plan to inject the fillers can also be revealing because it will show the extent of their knowledge. If you’re seeking lip enhancement, check whether your doctor plans to use a dermal filler specially formulated for the lips.
6. What side effects are possible with this product and how do they differ from other products?
The reported side effects are comparable but we would always recommend asking your cosmetic doctor for their insights.
We use leading dermal filler brands and are familiar with any contraindications for treatment and potential side effects, which we always discuss during the initial consultation.
7. Do these wrinkle injections have a good safety record?
Leading wrinkle injections brands all have an excellent safety record, which your doctor should be willing to discuss with you before your treatment. Like any cosmetic medical product, we would always advise you to seek treatment from a qualified, experienced and fully registered cosmetic medical doctor.
8. What experience do you have of using wrinkle injections?
With events like Injectable parties in the media, you’d be forgiven for thinking that anyone can administer wrinkle injections but this isn’t the case. We would always caution you to find out as much as possible about the practitioner you’re thinking of choosing for your treatment. How many years’ experience do they have? How many patients have they treated? Where and when did they train? Do they teach other doctors or have they ever acted in a consultative role? These are all good indicators of experience.
9. WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Results can take up to 10 days to be fully visible; but some people begin to notice a difference within 48 hours. We recommend clients have their treatment a fortnight before any special events, to ensure their best results are on show.
10. What are patients most embarrassed about?
Questions concerning bodily functions—like pooping, burping, discharge, and bad breath—were among the answers. Sexual history and eating behaviors can be very personal, they told us, making them also hard for people to share. Just remember that health experts are not here to judge you; they only want to help you get to the bottom of everything . . . and help you get well again.
