Anti-Wrinkle Injections in Perth

Lines around the eyes, forehead lines or wrinkles caused by laughing, frowning, smoking or worrying become more common with age. Anti-wrinkle injections can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles by inhibiting the nerves that cause facial muscle contraction. By understanding the complex interaction of the many facial muscles, certain muscle fibres can be precisely targeted to achieve specific outcomes. Some patients may seek the treatment for eyebrow elevation, correction of down-turning at the corners of the mouth and correction of certain facial asymmetries.

Dr Quinn offers a personalised treatment program for the temporary relief of frown lines in people between the ages of 18 to 65. After one treatment, many patients see results within a couple of days that can last up to four months.

Suitable candidates are individuals who:

• Do not qualify or want facelift (rhytidectomy) surgery.
• Are generally in good health.
• Have no counteracting medical conditions.
• Are experiencing facial wrinkles in the forehead area.

At your consultation with Dr Paul Quinn, he will thoroughly go over all factors on this treatment; including whether or not anti-wrinkle injections are a suitable treatment for the minimisation of your noticeable signs of ageing as well as what you can expect from the treatment.

What are the benefits?

Anti-wrinkle injections can:

• Let patients return to normal activities with no downtime.
• Accommodate a patient’s busy schedule.
• Treat most cases of wrinkles.
• Target specific areas of concern.
• Make results that can last for several months (results vary from patient to patient).

What does the procedure involve?

Dr Quinn will determine where to inject the anti-wrinkle injections by analysing your ability to move specific muscles in your brow and eye area. The size, location and use of the muscles that form eye wrinkles (‘crows feet’) or a wrinkled brow differ markedly among individuals.

No anaesthetic is required, but it is possible to numb the area with a cold pack or anaesthetic cream if preferred. A series of fine injections will be administered while you relax in a reclining chair. Most patients compare the sensation to a pin-prick.

Treatment for severe underarm sweating

Severe underarm sweating that is not adequately managed with deodorants may be controlled by a series of tiny injections administered to the entire underarm area. By temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands, the severe sweating may be inhibited.

Treatment for eyebrow shaping

A welcome side effect of our anti-wrinkle treatment is the ability to adjust the shape of eyebrows. Careful placement of the tiny injections above and below the brows enables the surgeon to create a rounded, arched or flared brow shape, depending on patient desires.

Duration

The procedure takes approximately ten minutes. There’s no recovery time needed, and normal activities can be resumed immediately. You may notice an difference in facial lines within days following treatment that can last up to four months. We recommend a treatment every four to five months to help maintain the results. If treatment is discontinued, the treated areas will gradually look like they did before treatment.
