Post Reading Information
Anti Wrinkle Injections are a prescribed product used to weaken or relax muscles that
contribute to fine lines, wrinkles and unwanted facial expressions. It is also used in
several medical conditions such as excessive sweating, jaw clenching, chronic muscle
tension headaches, belpharospasm and many others.
It takes 3-5 days before the effects begin to show and usually last 3-5 months but this
period can be shorter or longer, after which time, further treatment is appropriate to
sustain this effect.
It is essential to follow to post treatment instructions to minimise the risk of an
adverse reaction.
Please note, we provide complimentary follow-up appointments 2 weeks post treatment, however if additional product is required, this will incur a $20 fee.
As anti-wrinkle product is administered as an injection, it may result in minimal bleeding, temporary
bruising, redness and swelling in the area. In very rare cases the product can cause
temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow which can last between 3-6 weeks.
If you experience any adverse reactions or side effects, please contact the clinic that performed your service.
Upon completing your appointment, you will have been emailed a copy of your Consultation form and a receipt with the details of your appointment including the products used, Nurse who performed your treatment as well as the Prescribing Doctor.
