Anti-Wrinkle Injection Treatments


Your Treatment

You have been treated with an anti-wrinkle injection of botulinum toxin A, a naturally occurring purified protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum, which is a Prescription only Medication (POMs). Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks nerve signals, resulting in weakening of the muscle action, and improvement in the appearance of lines of facial expression. They are licensed for the temporary improvement in moderate to severe upper facial lines - crow’s feet (outer corners of the eyes), glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows), horizontal forehead lines and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). They are also off-label used to treat: gummy smiles, bunny lines, lip lines, jawline, platysmal bands (neck), masseter muscle (jaw slimming and teeth grinding), brow lift and chin dimpling.

Follow up Information

  • Treatment effect will take effect 10 -14 days after your treatment (up to 6 weeks for Masseter Muscle - Jaw slimming/Teeth grinding treatment)*

  • Please return in 2 weeks time for a follow up review appointment**

  • Treatment with Botulinum Toxin is temporary. To maintain the effect, treatment is recommended every 3-4 months (4-6 months for Masseter - Jaw slimming/Teeth grinding treatment).

  • Please contact the clinic immediately if you experience any unexpected side effects or have any concerns regarding your treatment.

    *The effects/benefits of a botulinum toxin treatment reach their maximum about 2 weeks following treatment. Therefore, treatment result is assessed at this point. There may still be some undesired movement, lines or asymmetry that needs to be corrected, so a complimentary ‘top up’ treatment can be given to achieve the best possible clinical correction to the treated area(s), based on the musculature of your face.

    ** Due to the risk of anti-body formation, which can result in treatment resistance, review appointments for Botulinum Toxin treatment adjustments cannot be made later than 2 weeks following treatment, and subsequent treatment appointment cannot be sooner than 3 months.
