Anti Wrinkle Injections Adelaide

Wrinkle Reduction Treatments are produced by a bacterium, and it was first used in humans for the treatment of strabismus (“crossed-eyes”) in 1978. It is now used to treat a number of medical conditions including cerebral palsy, migraine, excessive sweating, wry neck, back and facial muscle spasms as well as the treatment of facial wrinkles.

Wrinkle Reduction Treatments are one of the most widely researched medicines in the world with twenty approved indications in more than seventy-five countries. Wrinkle Reduction Treatments are a simple, quick and minimally invasive treatment that delivers fast, visible results.

Frown lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows), crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes) and forehead lines (wrinkles on the forehead) appear because of persistent small muscle contractions. Wrinkles that are caused by persistent small muscle contractions can be treated with Injectable Muscle Relaxants

Medically, you would be cleared for treatment if you’re in good health, are not pregnant or nursing and have no history of neuromuscular disease, such as multiple sclerosis. You’re an excellent candidate for Wrinkle Reduction Treatments if you’re concerned with frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, droopy eyebrows, smoker’s lines, bunny lines, widened jawline and excessive sweating.

Suitable candidates are over the age of 18, and there is no age limit outlining when it is ‘too late’ to receive treatment.

Ultimately, your consultation at Cosmos Clinic Adelaide will determine whether you are a good candidate for treatment with Wrinkle Reduction Treatments.

Wrinkle Reduction Treatments are minimally invasive and pose small and temporary side effects. The injections will only affect specific muscles and won’t be absorbed by the bloodstream.

The minor side effects or complications after treatment include:

• The chance of swelling, bumps, or slight redness, however these symptoms should subside within hours or days
• Minor bruising or temporary discolouration
• The need for revision treatment should the muscles need to be weakened further
• Droopy eyelids, or ptosis, that normally resolves naturally after several weeks
• Heavy brows or a droopy forehead, that is preventable by attending a clinic that has experienced cosmetic injectors

Many people who are new to Wrinkle Reduction Treatments are concerned about looking ‘frozen,’ or unnatural. This concern is largely unfounded because current injection techniques are much more advanced than they were before. When administering neuromodulators, your injector will only treat the muscles that cause wrinkles, or that give the face a tired or droopy appearance. You’ll still be able to smile, laugh, and express yourself naturally.

A droopy eyelid, medically named ptosis, can happen when the Wrinkle Reduction Treatment travels too close to the eye. It usually becomes noticeable one to three weeks after treatment and can last three to four weeks on average. It tends to go away on its own without requiring treatment.

To prevent this from happening, we recommend following your post-care instructions very carefully. The main way to avoid a droopy eyelid is to avoid touching or rubbing the area immediately after treatment and to avoid bending over or laying down for four hours.

By treating the muscle with Wrinkle Reduction Treatments, it will weaken the muscle over time. This means that the lines will not be as bad when the Wrinkle Reduction Treatment wears off. Also when the lines are relaxed, collagen remodelling repairs the damaged collagen beneath the wrinkle line and “fills in” those lines. This effect becomes more apparent with repeated injections and in many cases causes the lines to disappear over time.

Recent clinical trials show promising results in the next generation of Wrinkle Reduction Treatments lasting at least 6 months in duration.

True allergic reactions to Wrinkle Reduction Treatments have not been observed. Patients with neuromuscular disorders such as myesthenia gravis should not be treated with Wrinkle Reduction Treatments. No side effects from Wrinkle Reduction Treatments have been reported when pregnant or nursing women have been inadvertently treated, although safety during pregnancy or lactation (breastfeeding) has not been firmly established.

It is not absorbed by the blood stream and only affects the muscles injected. Wrinkle Reduction Treatments are eliminated from the body in a few days but the machinery required for the nerve impulse to travel to the muscle is disabled for three to four months. No serious or long-term health hazards have been attributed to the use of Wrinkle Reduction Treatments, even after years of use and millions of injections. However, some mild transient side effects can occur. These include:

• Mild swelling or redness at the injection site, which will settle within a few hours
• Bruising at the injection site can occur but is not common. This can be avoided by the application of ice packs prior to the injection and by carefully inspecting the area to be injected for blood vessels. The bruising settles in two to six days and can be covered with makeup. Smile lines are an area typically affected by bruising
• Occasionally, the injected muscles will not be weakened enough and touch up injections will be needed for correction after two weeks
• Drooping of the upper eyelid, which can last up to three weeks, is rare. This may be treated with eye drops until it resolves by itself, typically after a few days
• Drooping of the forehead can occur if too much of the Wrinkle Reduction Treatment is put in this area
