CONSULTATIONS FOR REDUCING THE APPEARANCE OF WRINKLES

Cosmetic clinics in Australia are prohibited by law to advertise:

- the brand names of any medicines that may be used in a treatment

- the pricing of any medicines that may be used in a treatment

- explicit treatments, areas of concern or techniques that may be used

- before and after images that utilise medicines in the treatment

This also includes not being allowed to advertise the brands of any products to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Every face is special and will have different expressions, line patterns and wrinkle severity. The severity depends on a multitude of factors including your sex, your muscle strength, your skin quality, your smoking status, your degree of exposure to UV light over your lifetime and your genetics. A consultation for reducing the appearance of wrinkles will assess your own unique features and a bespoke plan will be designed for you.

WHAT WRINKLES ARE COMMONLY REDUCED?

In your consultation all of your features will be examined and discussed. But many patients are commonly concerned with wrinkles and expressions of the following areas:

the frown or 'glabella' area (the lines between the eyebrows when we look angry)
the forehead area (the horizontal lines seen when we raise our eyebrows)
the 'crow's feet' areas (the lines around the eyes when we smile)

Full face indications

The most common patient concerns are the frown, forehead and 'crow's feet' areas. But your entire face and expressions will be examined during your consultation for the most holistic results.

25 years of safety data

These are the most commonly performed non-surgical procedure globally and have a very well documented safety profile.

Expected longevity

Outcomes will last for 3-4 months on average. 3 or 4 consultations per year are therefore typical.

DOWNTIME & AFTERCARE

Any risks will be explained during your consent process, prior to any procedures being offered

After your first consultation has been performed, there is minimal downtime for the majority of patients. Apart from avoiding exercise, you can go about your usual daily activities.

You'll experience some mild redness immediately after. This is self-limiting and will resolve on it's own after 30 or so minutes.

As with any non-surgical intervention that utilises needles, bruising is a possible temporary outcome. In Dr Jake's hands this is fairly uncommon but bruises are most common around the eyes. They can hidden with makeup the follow day if necessary.

It's important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for up to 12 hours. This prevents the product from spreading to other muscles that we don't want to treat and reduces the chances of things like asymmetry or a droopy eye lid (ptosis).

Avoid exercise, strenuous activity or exposure to excessive heat for the first 24 hours.

Anti-wrinkle treatments take up to 14 days for the final effect to show but if you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms you can contact the clinic where you saw Dr Jake.
