General Questions for Anti Wrinkle Treatment
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
This is a difficult question to answer, as the law in Australia forbids the use of any product or prescription drug named on public websites. Anti-wrinkle injections are a purified natural product / toxin that is placed into or just beneath the skin with tiny injections. It acts to temporarily block the message getting from the nerve to the muscles, so the muscles do not work as hard. This stops them from constantly creasing the skin, allowing lines and wrinkles to improve.
Anti-wrinkle injections are the most common cosmetic medical treatment performed today because they are quick, relatively safe, and very effective. It is important that your injector is very experienced in anti-wrinkle injections so that you get the best results with the lowest dose.
How much do anti-wrinkle injections cost?
Probably not as much as you may think. The price obviously varies depending on the areas treated and the dose which needs to be used, which can differ from patient to patient. Most of our patients spend about $200 to $500 every 3 to 6 months. This works out at about $20 to $50 dollars a week. Not too much for a treatment that is proven to make a visible difference to the signs of ageing.
Do anti-wrinkle injections hurt?
Very little in most cases. We use tiny needles, and most of the injection points are only 0.01 to 0.05ml, pricked just beneath the skin’s surface. Very often, some of the injections are not felt at all. Some can cause a small prick sensation. I always say anti-wrinkle injections wouldn’t be the most popular cosmetic treatment in the world today if they were painful.
What areas can I treat with anti-wrinkle Injections?
The main areas treated are:
- Frown lines – the “angry lines”, “number 11” or “cranky lines” between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines – the horizontal lines across the forehead
- Crow’s feet – the smile lines radiating out from the eyes
- Brows – clever placement can often give a nice temporary brow lift effect
Anti-wrinkle treatments can also address:
- Bunny lines – on the sides of the nose
- Headache and migraines
- Chin relaxation
- Vertical lip lines or “smoker’s lines”
- The masseter muscle – to help prevent teeth grinding, jaw clenching, TMJ (jaw joint) pain, & also to slim & feminise the jawline.
- Gummy smiles – anti-wrinkle injections can stop the top lip lifting too high and showing the gums when you smile
- “Lip flip” – to give a subtly increased lip size
- The lifting of the corner of the mouth to treat marionette lines
- Vertical neck bands
- Excessive sweating in the armpits or other areas

Anti Wrinkle Treatment FAQs
What are the side effects of Anti-Wrinkle injections – are they safe?
Generally, these treatments are considered very safe. Very rarely, they can result in a tiny bruise, generally only the size of a pencil end. On rare occasions, an unwanted effect can occur on a neighbouring muscle, causing eyebrow or eye-lid heaviness or similar. With careful placement and conservative doses, we hardly ever see this effect at Envisage Clinic. On extremely rare occasions, patients may experience a headache or similar minor effects after treatment.
How long do the results of anti-wrinkle injections last?
This varies, depending on the site injected, the dose, and the individual. Generally, results take a few days to become apparent, and last for 3 to 5 months.
What is the best age to start anti-wrinkle injections?
This is actually not an easy question to answer. Certainly, if expression lines are starting to become permanently etched onto the face, this is a sign that anti-wrinkle injections could and should be considered. Some prefer to start before lines become permanent, and anti-wrinkle injections are certainly a powerfully preventative—often even at a low dose, at this time.
Am I too old for anti-wrinkle injections?
I doubt it. Many of our patients are in their 60s and 70s or even older, and they still get good results from anti-wrinkle injections.
Are anti-wrinkle injections good for both men and women?
Yes, but often treatments need to be done differently for men. For example, men naturally have a flatter eyebrow shape, compared to a female arch shape. Anti-wrinkle injections to the forehead need to be done in a way that preserves this natural difference between the sexes. Men also often have stronger facial muscles and may need a higher dose. Softening frown lines and crow’s feet does not make a man look less “manly” but can make them look less angry all the time and maybe a bit more youthful.
Does Envisage Clinic have any special offers for anti-wrinkle injections?
We always offer a new patient introductory special of $150 for the first area (frown lines or crow’s feet) and a free, no-obligation consultation and assessment. All of our practitioners have been using anti-wrinkle injections for many years, and treatments are performed by or overseen by Dr Christopher Leat – who has over 25 years’ experience with anti-wrinkle injections.
