Wrinkle Reducing Treatments

Reduce Refine Release & Wrinkles

Wrinkle Treatments are prescription medications that reduce and release the movement that causes lines, wrinkles, or pulling in the skin. They can also lift and smooth areas over the face and neck.

We offer complimentary, obligation-free consultations with our experienced registered nurses to discuss your expectations, provide options and tailor a personalised treatment plan and quotation to suit your aesthetic goals, lifestyle and budget. We aim to deliver balanced, aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking results by fusing science, art, and expertise with professionalism and care.

Before & After Results

Please note that the client is contracting their muscles in both the before and after images. Anti-wrinkle injections stop the muscle from contracting as strongly, which in turn softens or smooths the wrinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are wrinkle treatments suitable for me?

Anti-wrinkle injections are muscle relaxant drugs in safe, small, therapeutic doses for cosmetic injections. If you are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant, breastfeeding or suffering from a nerve or muscle disease such as Eaton-Lambert Syndrome, Myasthenia Gravis or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), you cannot have Anti-Wrinkle Injections. As with any treatment you are about to commence, it is essential to discuss your health history with your practitioner to determine your suitability. Apart from these conditions, most people are suitable for Anti-Wrinkle treatment.

How exactly do wrinkle treatments work?

Anti-wrinkle injections are given in small quantities to specific muscles of the face to reduce the contraction movement that causes lines and wrinkles to form in the skin overlaying the muscle. Anti-wrinkle injections work by reducing or blocking the secretion of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter or chemical messenger in the brain. These chemical messengers typically allow the nerve impulses to travel along the nerve pathway to facial muscles, making the muscles contract. When injected into the muscle, the Botulinum protein attaches to the nerve endings and blocks the signal transmission to target muscles, causing relaxation and a smooth, fresh, youthful appearance.

Are there any side effects & what will I look like immediately after my treatment?

Like other injectable treatments, Botulinum Injections can have side effects, but these are mild and temporary. This may include any pain felt from the tiny injections, which is likened to a minor scratchy sensation. The injected area may be slightly puffy and red immediately after treatment but generally recovers literally within minutes. Sometimes, bruising can occur at the injection site. This typically resolves within a few days and can be easily covered using mineral makeup. A mild headache after treatment may be experienced by 9% of first-time users, but this side effect generally resolves within 24 hours. Less than 3% of people report generalised ‘flu-like’ symptoms during the onset phase, which quickly resolve within a day or two.

Muscle weakness, such as drooping eyelids or eyebrows, can occur in rare cases. This is not a side effect; it is dosing and placement-related, usually at the forehead or frown muscles. Our medical experts at the Cosmetic Studio Noosa take every precaution necessary to reduce this risk when administering anti-wrinkle treatments. If this unwanted side effect occurs in an infrequent event, it is important to know it is not permanent and will usually resolve within a few weeks.

Anti-wrinkle injections take approximately 2-7 days to take effect, so there won’t be any immediate change in your facial appearance. You can carry on with your normal daily activities afterwards. However, it is important to remember that during the onset phase (2-7 days), you can inadvertently disrupt the spread of the dosing and the treatment outcome by applying undue pressure to the treatment area. We suggest you do not wear swimming goggles if your eye area has been treated, refrain from heavily massaging the injected area when cleansing or moisturising, do not wear tight-fitting caps or hats over the forehead area and do not have a facial or a massage in the first few days following treatment. It is essential to follow these aftercare instructions to reduce the risk of unwanted side effects.

What happens during and how long does the procedure take?

The procedure itself takes approximately 5-10 minutes. However, at The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, we allow 45 minutes for consultation time to discuss your medical history, the results you would like to achieve, and all information related to the treatment. We tailor a personalised treatment plan for you and take time to answer any questions or concerns. As part of the treatment process, we take photos of the area (strictly for your and our digital records only) and obtain your consent. Before you leave, we will give you brochures and information on aftercare, with a follow-up appointment to review the treatment if it is your first time having this treatment.

How much will the treatment cost?

At The Cosmetic Studio, Noosa anti-wrinkle injections are priced per unit (dosage); therefore, the cost depends on how many units are needed to achieve the desired result. Different treatment areas also require different dosing, and the necessary dose for everyone may vary. For example, some people have a very deep, strong frowning muscle, while others have a weaker, smaller frowning complex – so the dose (how many units needed) and the cost can vary*.

Because muscle contraction and movement are different in each person, we must see the area to assess and determine dosing and, therefore, cost. To do this, we must perform the assessment face-to-face in the consultation rather than over the phone. As mentioned earlier, the consultation is free and is an excellent opportunity to discuss all the options available and give you an accurate quote.

As the ingredients are prescribed medicines, we cannot name the product by its known brand name or list unit or syringe pricing, as per TGA advertising codes and our regulating body, AHPRA.

We offer consultations and assessments with our registered Nurses to determine how to achieve an optimal result for you.

How quickly will you see results?

Results vary from person to person, but you will be able to see the effects of the treatment within a week*. In most cases, you will notice that the treated area slowly relaxes the muscles in the first 3-4 days*. The onset is quick for some, and for others, it is slower. Because Botulinum Toxin is a muscle relaxant (commonly used medically to ease spastic muscle conditions like Cerebral Palsy), you generally do not feel pain or discomfort. Instead, it has the sensation of relaxation, the opposite of a cramping feeling. When this treatment is given in the frown or forehead area, it can often improve muscle tension and headaches.

Will I bruise?

There is a chance of bruising with any treatment that involves injection. We take every step to minimise bruising; however, bruising risks can be reduced, and we discuss these at the consultation. It is important to note that medications and supplements like Nurofen, Fish Oil, Aspirin, GinkoBilba and Vitamin E can thin your blood, increasing the chances of bruising. Please let your practitioner know what medications you are taking before your treatment. However, do not discontinue medication without consulting with your doctor first.

Will it hurt?

At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, we prioritise ensuring our clients feel comfortable while undergoing treatments. In most cases, you will not need pain relief from anti-wrinkle injections, which are likened to a tiny scratching sensation. For those who are highly anxious or have a needle phobia, we use a topical anaesthetic cream before the treatment to dull the sensation further and employ an array of effective distracting techniques. Making clients feel comfortable and confident whilst under our care is part of our expertise.

Why do I need a review appointment?

We must follow up on patients undergoing our anti-wrinkle injection treatments to assess whether the dose has the desired result. The treatment usually works as expected, but it may occasionally need adjusting with additional dosing to achieve complete relaxation. The Cosmetic Studio Noosa does not charge for dosing top-ups at the review appointment. Because anti-wrinkle treatments do not work immediately, we suggest you return approximately two weeks after the treatment so we can assess your post-treatment progress. This session is conducted free of charge and takes only a few minutes.

What is a unit?

A unit is the form of measurement used to measure anti-wrinkle medication, i.e. the dose. All facial muscles have a sliding scale of how many units will be used to relax movement. The scale can start at a minimal number of units for a slight contraction and increase to many units for a strong movement. How many units you will have depends on the strength of the contraction or how smooth and relaxed you want that area to be. For example, if you have an intense frown but only want it softened slightly, the dose can be calculated in lesser unit amounts to give you the desired result. Likewise, if you have an intense frown and prefer to be completely relaxed, the units can be increased within the sliding scale to achieve maximum relaxation.

What is a static wrinkle?

Static wrinkles form lines because the skin’s scaffolding-holding structures (collagen & elastin fibres) can no longer support the tissue. As a result, lines begin to develop. These weaknesses can develop into deeper creases or folds as the skin loses its elasticity. Static lines appear as a normal part of facial ageing; however, some people experience premature facial ageing if collagen stores have been adversely affected, causing collagen destruction from smoking, drug taking, sun baking, menopause, illnesses and stress. Sleep lines and creases are another static line that appears as we age. Generally speaking, static lines and wrinkles are treated with Dermal Fillers, which lift, fill, hydrate and restore collagen.

What is a dynamic wrinkle?

Dynamic wrinkles are lines that form from repetitive facial muscle movement. For example, people who work outdoors squint or frown often develop crinkles around their eyes or frown lines between their brows. In other cases, there is a genetic propensity to frown or smile strongly, which develops familial lines and wrinkles. Regardless of the cause, all dynamic lines are treated with Anti-Wrinkle Injections, which relax the overactive muscles. This, in turn, smooths the skin overlaying the muscle, creating a softer, more youthful appearance.

What causes wrinkles?

Many factors contribute to the development of wrinkles in the human face other than normal facial ageing. Family genetics, some hereditary conditions, poor health, stressors, environmental influences and some lifestyle choices all play a role in the premature onset, development and severity of wrinkles. Discussing your health, lifestyle and family history is an essential part of the treatment plan process to determine the best treatment for wrinkles, whether dynamic or static.
