Wrinkle Reducing Treatments
Over time, repetitive facial movements such as frowning or squinting can create fine lines and wrinkles.
Our wrinkle reducing treatments use carefully administered botulinum toxin injections to relax overactive facial muscles, softening expression lines while preserving your natural range of motion.
Each treatment plan begins with a consultation to assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and determine the most suitable approach.
The procedure is quick, requires no downtime, and is performed by an AHPRA‑registered practitioner in a sterile clinical setting.

Aftercare and Considerations – Avoid rubbing the treated area and remain upright for 4 hours post‑procedure. Side effects may include temporary redness, tenderness, or minor bruising. More aftercare will be given and discussed on the day of treatment.

Results – Smoother skin around the eyes typically develops within a week, with full effect by two weeks. Results usually last 3–4 months.
Aftercare and Considerations – As with other facial areas, avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the treated site immediately after. Mild side effects such as slight swelling or bruising are possible but temporary. More aftercare will be given and discussed on the day of treatment.
