Anti-Wrinkle Injections: They reduce wrinkles caused by the continual and uncontrollable contraction of some of the tiny muscles of the face, which wrinkle up the overlying skin.

The anti-wrinkle injection substance used is a modified form of a naturally occurring substance which blocks the signals muscles, which ultimately allows the skin to relax.

Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers are gels with a hyaluronic acid base (like a sugar gel), which can be injected into certain areas of your face to either correct wrinkles, fill in deep scars or non-surgically change the shape of certain parts of your face. Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the body, and over time the dermal filler breaks down via normal body processes.

How do they differ?

Anti-Wrinkle Injections- The principle behind these anti-wrinkle injections is quite different to that behind other wrinkle reduction treatments. Dermal Fillers work on replacing volume- that of lifting and filling in facial volume in order to fill out wrinkles.
Anti-wrinkle injections work on a biological basis; blocking the signal from the brain which tells your wrinkle-causing muscles to contra

Anti-Wrinkle Injections – Anti-wrinkle injections are particularly effective in treating a specific type of wrinkle. If you have deep frown lines or forehead or crow’s feet, anti-wrinkle injections may produce best results for you.

Dermal Fillers – The benefits of using dermal fillers include:

• Fillers can reliably treat wrinkles at depths that other methods cannot
• They are biocompatible and rarely cause reactions
• The fillers can be dissolved by injection if there are any problems
• They are non-invasive compared to surgical solutions

Anti-Wrinkle Injections – Any side effects that occur are temporary. The substance used for anti-wrinkle injections has been completely cleared by the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia, as well as the FDA in the US. BOTOX has been used for over 40 years therapeutically with minimal side effects.

Dermal Fillers – Ordinary side effects following dermal filler injections include swelling, redness, bruising and mild asymmetry as the inflammation settles down

Anti-Wrinkle Injections – You’ll need a single treatment every 4 months. There is no cumulative effect with anti-wrinkle injections. Repeated treatments will depend on the individual and our medical team will be able to advise the best time to make your next appointment.

Dermal Fillers – A single treatment every 9-12 months is needed.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections – The usual procedure for anti-wrinkle injections is:

You’ll speak with the doctor about your background and medical history at your initial consultation
Our doctors and nurses will formulate a treatment plan for your wrinkles
The doctor will map out the area to be treated by examining your ability to move certain facial muscles

A large number of small injections is made in an area targeted to the muscles which are causing your wrinkles, each to a specific depth and with a specific volume of fluid
The procedure takes around 10 minutes.

Dermal Fillers – The usual procedure for patients looking to lift and liven their face with dermal fillers is:
You’ll speak with the doctor or nurse about your background and medical history at your initial consultation
A treatment plan will be devised, which sets out how we can use dermal fillers (possibly in conjunction with other techniques and tools) to create the face that you want
At your dermal filler appointment:
The dermal filler product we use contains a local anaesthetic that makes the injection comfortable.
The area to be injected is marked out
The dermal fillers are injected, and we apply cold packs immediately afterwards.
ASI Mineral make-up completes the look and allows you to resume your daily activity.
The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes in total, depending on the size of the area to be treated.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections – Anti-wrinkle injections are administered using a very fine needle and a very small amount of liquid. Many people say they feel like a mosquito bite.

Without local anaesthesia, we would rate the pain of anti-wrinkle injections for hyperhidrosis treatment at around 0.5/10.

Dermal Fillers – Local anaesthesia can be used if necessary, although it isn’t needed for all patients.
Without local anaesthesia, we would rate the pain of dermal filler injections at around 2.5/10.
With local anaesthesia, we would rate the pain of dermal filler injections at around 0.5/10.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections – You can expect the full effect of your anti-wrinkle injections to be apparent after 3-7 days, and for the effect to last approximately 3-4 months.
Note forehead Botox treatment will only last approximately 6-8 weeks.

Dermal Fillers – Much of the difference you see after your initial dermal filler injection will be due to swelling; you should see the ‘real’ results after about 3 days. You’ll be able to return to work and wear makeup immediately afterwards, although we recommend you don’t commit yourself to any activities after your first-ever appointment.

Yes. Dermal rolling and IPL Skin Rejuvenation are great treatments if you’re looking for a complete facial overhaul. However, it is advised to wait two weeks after your procedure before IPL treatments.
