Anti-wrinkle Injection
Introduction
At Pymble Dermatology, we specialise in helping you achieve your aesthetic goals and enhance your natural beauty. If you are seeking a non-surgical solution to reduce wrinkles and achieve smoother, younger-looking skin, anti-wrinkle injections may be the perfect treatment for you.
What are Anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a popular cosmetic treatment which typically use a neurotoxic protein that temporarily paralyses muscles. When administered by a skilled injector, these injections can effectively reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crows feet, by relaxing the underlying facial muscles.
What areas can be treated?
- Forehead lines: Horizontal lines that appear on the forehead when raising the eyebrows.
- Frown lines: Vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called “11” or glabellar lines.
- Crows feet: Wrinkles that form at the outer corners of the eyes, typically due to smiling or squinting.
Benefits of Anti-wrinkle Cosmetic Enhancement
- Smoothens wrinkles and fine lines: Anti-wrinkle injections can effectively reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements.
- Prevents further wrinkles: Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily relax facial muscles, preventing the formation of new wrinkles and help maintain a youthful appearance.
- Non-surgical: Anti-wrinkle injections offer a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures, with little to no downtime required for recovery.
- Enhance your natural beauty with confidence: When administered by a skilled provider, anti-wrinkle injections can provide subtle, natural-looking enhancements that preserve your unique facial expressions, giving you confidence in your appearance

Are anti-wrinkle injections painful

Nonetheless, it is important to recognise that individuals vary in pain tolerance. We can apply a topical numbing agent to the treatment area if you are apprehensive about any potential discomfort.
How many units will I need?
Each individual’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals are unique, so anti-wrinkle treatment plans should be tailored accordingly. To create a personalised treatment plan, a qualified cosmetic injector will assess your facial features, muscle dynamics, and desired outcomes.
Can I combine anti-wrinkle injections with laser treatment?
Anti-wrinkle injections are often combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers or laser treatments, to address multiple signs of aging and achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
