Wrinkle treatment at Aecera uses TGA-compliant techniques and prescription-only medications that work to temporarily reduce the activity of targeted facial muscles responsible for dynamic lines and wrinkles. These treatments are used to address areas such as frown lines, forehead lines, and the lines at the corners of the eyes, and can also be tailored for subtle facial balancing and preventative skin health maintenance.
All treatments are performed following a personalised consultation. The focus is on subtle, tailored outcomes that respect facial movement and individual characteristics.
What can it treat?
Wrinkle treatment is most effective for dynamic lines formed by repeated facial muscle contraction. Common areas include frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes. It is also used for brow positioning, jaw contouring, and neck bands. The specific treatment areas will be discussed and agreed at consultation.
What does the treatment feel like?
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, taking approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Patients typically describe the sensation as a brief, mild sting as the medicine is delivered to each treatment site via a very fine gauge needle.
How long does the treatment last?
The effect generally persists for between three to four months, depending on the individual, the area treated, and muscle activity. Regular treatment at appropriate intervals supports longer-lasting improvement over time
About the medication
The medicine used in this treatment is a prescription-only product regulated by the TGA. Because it is a prescription medicine, detailed information about the specific product is discussed privately at the consultation, allowing the practitioner to tailor information to your skin, your treatment areas, and your goals.
When will changes be visible?
Changes develop gradually over several days. Initial changes are typically visible within three to five days, with full effect seen at around 10 to 14 days following treatment.
What aftercare is required?
Specific aftercare instructions will be provided at your appointment. General guidance includes remaining upright for several hours following treatment and avoiding vigorous exercise on the day of treatment. The practitioner will provide detailed instructions specific to your treatment.
Your Consultation
All wrinkle treatment consultations are conducted under dermatologist supervision. Time is given for questions, and a separate appointment is scheduled for treatment so that the patient can reflect before proceeding. There is no obligation to proceed at the consultation.
