Anti Wrinkle Injections Gold Coast

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

Side effects are minimal, and many patients can enjoy their results of wrinkle relaxer treatment without experiencing any complications. Muscle relaxer injections will only affect the targeted muscles and will not be absorbed by the bloodstream. However, with any treatment that requires cosmetic injectables comes a low risk of minor and temporary side effects. These may include:

• Minor swelling, small bumps, or redness that should disappear within either hours or few days
• Minor bruising or discolouration
• The need for a touch up or correction, if the treated muscles need to be weakened more
• Droopy eyelids, or ptosis, can occur but will normally resolve naturally after several weeks. Discomfort can be managed by applying eye drops until the side effect subsides

Our clinic in the Gold Coast has been successfully treating local and international visitors for over ten years. In fact, our team at Cosmos takes neuromodulator injections very seriously to ensure safety, effectiveness, and that each patient is 100% happy with their results.

You are a good candidate for Wrinkle Reduction Treatments if you have dynamic wrinkles or a tired appearance in the frown, forehead, eyebrows, crow’s feet, smoker’s line, or bunny line areas. Other areas that can benefit from neuromodulator injections are a wide or square jaw and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

Medically, you would be cleared for treatment if you are in good health, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no history of neuromuscular disease, such as multiple sclerosis.

The effects normally last three to six months, before the treatment must be repeated to maintain the results. If you choose to stop getting Wrinkle Reduction Treatments at any point, the treated areas will simply return to normal without any permanent changes.

The short-lived nature of Wrinkle Reduction Treatments is another major advantage of this procedure over more permanent anti-aging techniques.

There is no right or wrong age to start getting Wrinkle Reduction Treatments, provided that you are over the age of 18 and in good health. Twin studies show that Wrinkle Reduction Treatments help to prevent lines, wrinkles and overall skin ageing. By the same token, you’re never too old to start as treating dynamic lines and wrinkles can soften them considerably and even fade them altogether over time.

Wrinkle Reduction Treatments prevent the muscle movement that eventually causes wrinkling. The medication is most commonly administered in the frown area, forehead and around the eyes. Volume Enhancement Treatments, on the other hand, are designed to add volume, correct depressions and contour areas of face such as cheeks, under the eyes, nasolabial folds, jawline and chin. Anti-Wrinkles Injections can be used together with fillers to revitalise and rejuvenate the face.

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
