Consultations for wrinkles
Depending on the strength of your muscles, natural expressions, congenital asymmetries and skin quality, we all have different facial expression pattenrs. rinkle treatments can be designed to achieve safe and natural-looking results.

Despite the name implying these treatments are only for wrinkles, these treatments are also used for a wide range of other treatments including:
- helping to lift the lower face (by reducing the pull of the muscles that pull down in the lower face and chin)
- to treat teeth grinding/clenching (bruxism)
- to improve chronic migraines
- to slim the face
- for calf slimming
What wrinkles can be improved?
These treatments form the foundation of cosmetic injectables. They are most commonly used to improve the wrinkles of:
- the frown area (between the eyebrows when we look angry)
- the forehead area (the lines when we raise our eyebrows)
- the 'crow's feet' areas (the lines around the eyes)
But we can also treat other wrinkles of the face including:
- 'bunny' lines (lines of the bridge of the nose when you frown or laugh)
- downturned corners of the mouth
- dimply chin
By law in Australia, we cannot advertise the brand names of any medicines, including the brand of any injectable products used. So you'll usually see these types of treatments generically referred to as 'anti-wrinkle injections'. Dr Jake is a national & international trainer in these treatments.
Even though we calling it an 'anti-wrinkle treatment', these treatments are incredibly versatile and are used for other treatments including excessive sweating treatments, chronic migraine treatments and teeth grinding/teeth clenching (bruxism) treatments.

Full face indications
Most commonly the wrinkles of the frown, forehead and 'crow's feet' areas are treated. But several other areas of the face including the chin, corners of the mouth, 'lip flip' & neck bands can be treated to improve symptoms of dimpling, lip shape or sagging.
Outstanding satisfaction
Wrinkle treatments are the world's number one non-surgical treatment. Clinical studies consistently report outstanding patient satisfaction when wrinkles are reduced.
Excellent longevity
Dr Jake Sloane will suggest treatments that last on average 3-4 months. Therefore most patients will benefit from 3 or 4 consultations per year to achieve a stunning and consistent look.
Downtime & aftercare
-
After your first consultation has been performed, consultations are quick and with minimal downtime.
-
You'll experience some mild redness and 'swellings' at injection site - this is just the produce injected under the skin and these will disappear within 10-20 minutes.
-
As with any needle treatments that penetrate the skin, bruising is possible but in Dr Jake's hands is fairly uncommon. Bruises are most common around the eyes and can be hidden with makeup in the event that you develop one.
