What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are cosmetic injectable treatments designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily paralysing facial muscles. The active ingredient in most anti-wrinkle injections works by blocking the nerve signals to the muscles, which diminishes the movements that create expression lines.

Forehead lines
Frown Lines
Brow Lift
By using anti-wrinkle injections, it is possible to relax certain muscles around the eyes to help create an overall lift in the eyebrows. There are certain muscles that hold the eyebrows down, especially the muscles surrounding the eye, known as the orbilucalis oculi. With careful placement of anti-wrinkle injections into these muscles, the eyebrows are released from this downward pull, and the forehead muscles are left to lift the eyebrows up. This usually leads to an extra few millimetres in height.
Crows Feet
Bunny Lines
“Bunny lines” refer to the fine lines that appear diagonally on both side of your nose. They come from squinting your eyes and scrunching your nose- like a bunny would do. Like many types of facial wrinkles, bunny lines are caused by repeating certain facial expressions. These fines lines are treated with a couple of small injections of anti-wrinkle on both sides of the bridge of the nose. This will relax these muscles and result in smooth skin over the bridge of the nose.
Lip Lines
There are a number of ways to treat upper lip lines. Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to soften these lines. The way to treat is by injecting a small amount of anti-wrinkle into the upper lip (orbicularis oris muscle). It’s normally treated with 4 small injections across the upper lip. This in turn relaxes the muscle around your upper lip, which makes your lip “flip” upward a tiny bit and appears larger than normal. The lip flip is a popular procedure that makes your lips look fuller without increasing the volume of your lips.

The lip flip is a popular procedure that makes your lips look fuller without increasing the volume of your lips.
Chin Dimples
The appearance of dimples across the chin occur because the muscle underneath is contracting too much. To stop the dimples from forming, you must stop the contraction of the muscle. The treatment used is a few small anti-wrinkle injections into the chin muscle (the mentalis muscle). This relaxes the muscle and softens the skin, helping the dimpled appearance to disappear.

The treatment used is a few small anti-wrinkle injections into the chin muscle (the mentalis muscle). This relaxes the muscle and softens the skin, helping the dimpled appearance to disappear.
Facial Slimming
Facial Slimming and Tooth Grinding (Bruxism)
Bruxism is the term given to grinding teeth. It can be very distressing for patients and cause wear of the teeth and headaches. Patients often complain of morning headaches because they have been tensing and grinding their teeth at night. Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to treat teeth grinding and in turn can slim the face. This is a very popular treatment at Face Plus Medispa. The treatment for bruxism is injecting anti-wrinkle into the angle of the jaw (the masseter muscle). These injections relax the muscle of the jaw area and create a more slim jawline.
Downturned Smile
The muscles that turn down the corners of the mouth are called the DAO (Depressor Anguilla Oris). When you inject anti-wrinkle into the DAO muscles, it relaxes the areas, in turn ceasing to pull your mouth downwards. You will be able to start seeing results in 3-4 days and full affects in 2 weeks time.
Gummy Smile
Do you feel like there is an excessive amount of gum showing when you smile? A gummy smile is nothing to be embarrassed about, but if it concerns you it can easily be treated with anti-wrinkle. Gum show can be excessive if your upper lip moves too high when you smile. The levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle connects the middle corner of the eye to the upper lip and works to lift the upper lip and enables you to snarl. Small amounts of anti-wrinkle injections can be placed into this muscle to reduce gum show. This treatment is relatively quick and non-invasive.
Excessive Sweating

Procedure
How are anti-wrinkle injections in Sydney
carried out at FacePlus Aesthetics?
If you decide to have your anti-wrinkle injections in Sydney with us at FacePlus Aesthetics, this is what you can expect:
Consultation

Procedure
The process of administering anti-wrinkle injections is remarkably swift, often requiring less than 15 minutes. It involves the use of small needles to deliver the natural substance into specific areas. While many of our clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, we also offer the option of using a numbing cream for added comfort.
Results and recovery
Anti-wrinkle treatments are generally well tolerated. You will notice the product taking effect 2-4 days after the procedure, and full effect will be visible 2 weeks after the treatment. The most common side effects include local irritation or redness and mild to moderate swelling. Although rare, bruising can occur.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any more questions about our anti-wrinkle injections in Sydney or any of our services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime, you can find our FAQs below that may provide the additional information you’re looking for.
Are anti-wrinkle injections worth it?
Many individuals find anti-wrinkle injections worth the investment due to their efficacy in reducing the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, such as bunny lines and crow’s feet. Anti-wrinkle injectables offer a non-surgical solution to ageing signs with minimal downtime, making them an attractive option for those seeking anti-ageing interventions.
Are anti-wrinkle injections in Sydney safe?
Anti-wrinkle injections, when administered by a qualified professional, are considered safe. The anti-wrinkle product used has been subject to rigorous testing and approval by health authorities for both cosmetic and medical use. It’s essential to have anti-wrinkle injection treatments performed by a certified practitioner to ensure safety and efficacy.
How long do the effects of anti-wrinkle injections last?
The effects of anti-wrinkle injections typically last between three to six months. Over time, as muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles reappear, and the treatment needs to be repeated. Regular anti-wrinkle injection treatments can lead to longer-lasting results as the facial muscles being treated may ‘learn’ to relax.
Will I still be able to make facial expressions after anti-wrinkle injections?
Yes, when anti-wrinkle injectables are correctly administered, patients can maintain a range of facial expressions. Anti-wrinkle injection treatments target specific muscles responsible for expression lines while leaving untreated muscles free to move, allowing for natural expressions without the creasing of the skin that contributes to frown lines and other wrinkles.
What's the difference between anti-wrinkle injections and dermal filler treatments?
While both are used in cosmetic treatments, anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers serve different purposes. Anti-wrinkle injections relax facial muscles to reduce the appearance of motion-related wrinkles, whereas dermal fillers are injected beneath the skin to add volume and contour the face.
