The appointment will begin with a thorough facial assessment,  which includes treatment planning. Once we have decided on the ideal treatment strategy to achieve the results you want, a very fine needle is used to make small injections, administered with little to no discomfort. There is little to no downtime after the procedure. You will start to see results from 3 days up to 2 weeks after the procedure. We will then check-in with you to ensure a perfect result. Sometimes a minor adjustment is needed to balance everything nicely and because all of our treatments are customised to you, we do recommend that new clients attend a check up visit.

Unfortunately not everyone will be a candidate for injectables. We do not recommend injectables for any pregnant or breastfeeding women. We cannot perform injectables where there is active infection at the injection site or systemically. We urge caution and recommend discussing your suitability in advance if you have any allergies, autoimmune, neuromuscular or underlying medical conditions. 

Please ensure that you are feeling fit & well on the day of your treatment. Treatment cannot be performed if you are feeling unwell or have had a recent illness including flu. 

We do not recommend having any other skin, beauty or aesthetic treatments in the two weeks before a peel (includes brow treatments). Please ensure that you are feeling fit & well. Treatment cannot be performed if you are feeling unwell or have had a recent illness including flu.

Nil - mild

None. This is an ideal lunchtime treatment. You will have some very small discreet bumps for approximately 20 minutes but otherwise treatment is undetectable. 

Initial results are typically seen after 1 week but final results are not seen until 2 weeks post treatment. This is also the time when we recommend that new clients return to the clinic for a complimentary review to evaluate results and make any adjustments.

The effect of wrinkle relaxers is temporary and how long they last depends on the individual client. For most people, the results last between 3-4 months however runners or those who train regularly may metabolise wrinkle relaxers at a faster rate. 

Pharmacologically, wrinkle relaxers start to be broken down by the body from week 7-8 post treatment. At this stage, you may notice a gradual increase in muscle activity though you will not be back to baseline until at least week 12-16 (3-4 months). 

The good news is that with repeated doses the lines and wrinkles often appear less severe because the muscles being treated are being trained to relax. Wrinkle relaxer treatment is best taken as a course with repeat treatments approximately every 4-6 months. This helps to ensure that results are always progressive and natural. 

Dynamic facial lines (e.g. frown lines, horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines)

Gummy smiles

Lip flip

Teeth grinding

Masseter hypertrophy

Facial Slimming

Neck bands

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in the armpits)

Wrinkle relaxers work by blocking the nerve impulse to specific muscles. This reduces the muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form. We can also use wrinkle relaxers to create better facial balance and symmetry as well as reducing the downward pull of certain muscles on the face and neck which can cause us to look sad, angry or tired. The best approach is often to sprinkle a small amount of wrinkle relaxer into various muscles throughout the face to give an overall freshness.

Yes, they can help prevent the formation of new dynamic lines and stop dynamic lines that have already formed from deepening.  Please ensure that you are feeling fit & well. Treatment cannot be performed if you are feeling unwell or have had a recent illness including flu.

The rationale for starting wrinkle relaxer treatment early is to prevent the development of deep lines or wrinkles. The average woman begins to show the early signs of ageing around the age of 28. The first signs of ageing in women tend to be the new lines around the eyes, around the mouth as well as the ‘elevens’ - frown lines between the brows.
