Would they work for you?

Anti-wrinkle injections provide temporary relaxation and softening of the muscles of facial expressions. This provides a smoother, youthful appearance to the face and helps avert future expression lines from forming. Anti-wrinkle injections are very effective in areas like frown lines, crows’ feet, forehead lines, gummy smile, bunny lines, chin crease (Mentalis muscle crease), chin dimples (chin Peau D’Orange), relaxing hyperactive neckbands (Platysma muscle), jawline slimming (Masseter muscle), mouth corner lift (DAO muscle). Non-cosmetic benefits of anti-wrinkle injections include reducing migraines, cluster headaches and softening of chewing muscles to avert teeth-grinding. Answers to common questions include: Q. Will I look frozen or ducklike? A. No, the aim of anti-wrinkle treatment is to appear refreshed. When delivered by an experienced cosmetic doctor, the results seem natural, with appropriate facial expressions still intact. Q. Is there any downtime? A. There is minimal to no downtime. It’s well known as a “lunch-time procedure”. Most patients can get back to work or normal activities immediately after the treatment. Q. When will I see the results? A. The effects of the treatment will start to take effect within two to three days. The maximum effect is generally seen after two weeks.

It is recommended by us that you avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and massaging of the injected area for the first 24 hours. ca 1300 288 606//www.rejuvenative.com.au
