What are anti-wrinkle treatments?
Wrinkles are a normal part of your body’s aging process and don’t necessarily need treatment. However, if your skin is damaged or prematurely aged and you don’t like how your wrinkles look, there are a range of anti-wrinkle treatment options available to cosmetically improve your appearance. Treatment types include injectables, dermal fillers, skin peels, LED light therapy, and more. Me Clinic is the trusted leader in anti-wrinkle treatments in Australia.
What areas can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections
The most common areas requested for anti-wrinkle injections and other anti-wrinkle procedures are unwanted dynamic lines around the eyes and on the forehead. Me Clinic anti-wrinkle procedures are also in demand with clients who want to improve the appearance of lines around the mouth, nose, chin, jawline and neck.
Cosmetic treatments & procedures
Cosmetic injections and other skincare procedures can improve the appearance of all areas of the face and neck. These simple and almost painless treatments can eliminate vertical lines and expression lines caused by muscle movement, squinting and frowning, and create a more youthful appearance. Common anti-wrinkle treatments include:
- Anti-wrinkle injections
- Dermal fillers
- Collagen Induction treatments
- LED light therapy
- High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
- Intense Pulsed Light Rejuvenation
Get younger-looking skin with Factor4 treatments
Factor 4 anti-wrinkle treatment is a state-of-the-art anti-ageing treatment that uses the body’s own growth factors to stimulate collagen and elastin production and more supple skin. This treatment improves the appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines, bunny lines, smile lines, frown lines, forehead lines, facial creases and scarring, while also improving skin texture and skin tone. It can also reduce excessive sweating, improve a gummy smile, and target the upper and lower face and masseter muscles to restore your natural facial expressions.
Fine lines & wrinkles
- Stimulates deeper skin layers to produce increased amounts of collagen and elastin
- Increases dermis thickness and smooths out the skin
- Is very effective for treating fine lines around the eyes
Skin tone & texture
- Increases collagen production and corrects textural irregularities
- Regenerated and revived skin appears more plump, hydrated, and glowing
- Can be used on the face, neck, décolletage and back of the hands
Scarring
- Collagen remodelling for improved tone and appearance of scarring
- Improves the appearance of acne scarring when combined with skin needling
Longevity of anti-wrinkle treatments
The effects of anti-wrinkle treatments generally last between 3-6 months, dependent on the type of treatment undertaken. The longevity of the results can vary between patients. For example, muscle relaxant anti-wrinkle injections work to quickly reduce the visible signs of ageing, although natural ageing processes will continue post-treatment.
Preparing for anti-wrinkle injections
You should avoid all vigorous physical activity and avoid alcohol intake for 24 hours prior to anti-wrinkle treatment. This will reduce the risk of bruising. You should also avoid Aspirin, Vitamin E, and blood thinners that are not prescribed for a medical condition. Anti-wrinkle procedures are a favourite with first-time patients at Me Clinic.
Anti-wrinkle treatments can be undertaken alongside other facial enhancement procedures such as a brow lift or lip filler treatment.
What to expect during anti-wrinkle treatments
There are various anti-wrinkle procedures performed at Me Clinic. For now, we will focus on anti-wrinkle injections. This procedure involves a hand-held injector and a series of small injections into targeted areas to relax the facial muscles. This procedure is relatively pain-free, although you may experience a mild stinging sensation.
A Me Clinic registered nurse or Doctor will map out the treatment area to ensure injection accuracy, and ice packs or topical anaesthetics can be used to numb the injection area. The procedure is quick and can even be undertaken during your lunch break. Discomfort will resolve soon after the treatment is completed.
Everything you need to know post-anti-wrinkle treatments
Unwanted side effects associated with anti-wrinkle treatments are rare, although you might notice tiny bumps at the injection site. These bumps should settle and disappear within half an hour after your treatment. Makeup can be applied straight after the treatment and you will be able to resume regular activities with zero downtime with a few exceptions. Speak to your Me Clinic clinician about aftercare, and for the next six hours after treatment you should:
- Reframe from strenuous exercise
- Avoid alcohol consumption
- Avoid applying pressure to the treated area
- Avoid rubbing the treated area or wearing glasses, hats or helmets.

How long does anti-wrinkle treatment take to work?
Some types of anti-wrinkle injections and treatments provide immediate results. Other treatments work at lower dermis skin levels to stimulate collagen and skin elastin production and growth, with great ongoing results.
Is the anti-wrinkle treatment expensive?
Anti-wrinkle treatments are fast day surgery treatments that can be performed on-site at a Me Clinic near you. These treatments are a cost-effective way to dramatically and quickly remove facial lines and improve skin tone and texture.
