THE RESULTS
*Results will vary from patient to patient.
**All photos are of patients from Cosmos Aesthetics, and all ‘after’ images are taken on average 2-6 weeks post treatment.
THE PROCEDURE
Wrinkle reduction treatments work by blocking nerve impulses that control muscle movement. When injected into muscle tissue, the treatment relaxes the targeted muscles, typically within three days, reducing their ability to contract and form visible lines on the skin. The effects generally last between three to eight months, depending on the individual and the treatment area.
Procedure Details:
Note: Wrinkle reduction is less effective for creases that remain visible when the skin is stretched.
In addition to reducing facial lines, wrinkle reduction treatments can be used for:
Costs vary based on the treatment area, product quantity, and treatment time. The amount used is measured in units, with typical treatments requiring 10–20 units per area. Pricing is determined by the number of units used and the activity level of the patient’s muscles. Typically prices start from $165 for the first treatment area.
To receive a personalised cost estimate, schedule a consultation with a Cosmos Clinic doctor or nurse.

POST TREATMENT
Minor redness or small bumps at the injection site are common and typically subside within 15–30 minutes. Bruising, if present, generally fades within a few days to a week. Some patients may experience mild, short-term headaches, which often improve as the treatment’s muscle-relaxing effects take hold.
Wrinkle reduction results can last 3–8 months. For most patients, maintenance treatments are required 2–3 times a year to sustain results.
Suitable candidates for wrinkle reduction treatments include those seeking to reduce epidermal creases & dermal folds caused by muscle activity beneath the skin. Patients should be in good overall health, with realistic expectations for the results.
Who May Not Be Suitable:
A consultation at Cosmos Clinic in Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne or the Gold Coast will determine your suitability and address any concerns.
Wrinkle reduction treatments are generally safe and well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing no complications. However, mild and temporary side effects may occur, including:
Wrinkle relaxers only affect the treated muscles and are processed by the body within days. While effects on nerve impulses last 3–4 months, no long-term health hazards have been associated with their use.
For the best results and to minimise risks, ensure that treatments are administered by experienced professionals in a reputable clinic. If you have concerns or wish to learn more, consult your doctor or specialist.
Wrinkle relaxers are a purified protein derived from a bacterium, used to relax muscles responsible for the appearance of facial lines. Originally developed in 1978 to treat strabismus (crossed eyes), they have since been applied to a range of medical conditions, including:
Lines between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and on the forehead commonly develop due to repetitive muscle contractions over time.
As part of the natural ageing process, collagen and elastin production in the skin gradually decreases. This reduction leads to less firmness and elasticity, making these lines more noticeable.
Wrinkle reduction treatments promote collagen remodelling beneath the skin, aiding in the repair of damaged collagen in areas where lines have formed.
The injections required for wrinkle treatment are very small and should not cause any pain. Some patients can feel a small pinching or pricking sensation, but this should be very mild and tolerable. Since wrinkle reduction treatments work by relaxing the muscles, treatment can actually help with pain, as opposed to cause it.
Wrinkle reduction treatments causes muscle relaxation of the injected muscles, which can last from three to eight months. Experience with thousands of patients has shown that the vast majority using wrinkle relaxers on a regular basis will need treatments two or three times a year to maintain the improvement, or additional treatments about 12 to 16 weeks apart, depending on how quickly the results begin to subside per individual patient.
