Wrinkle Reduction Treatments
How Do Wrinkle Reduction Treatments Works?
Wrinkles and lines naturally form as part of the aging process due to the continual contraction of facial muscles used for various expressions, such as frowning and squinting. Wrinkle reduction treatments involve injecting an active ingredient into targeted areas to relax these muscle contractions. This reduces excess movement, softening the appearance of lines and providing a rejuvenated look in line with your desired outcome.
What is Involved?
​
The process begins with a thorough, in-person assessment to discuss your specific concerns and desired results. During the treatment, a purified protein solution is precisely injected into specific facial muscles using a very fine needle, causing minimal discomfort. Each wrinkle reduction treatment takes approximately 15-20 minutes and delivers quick, satisfying results by relaxing muscle contractions and smoothing visible lines for 3 to 4 months.
​​
​
How long does it take to see Results?
​​
Results may start to appear within 3 days of treatment, with full effects visible after 2 weeks. You are encouraged to return for a 2-week review to ensure that optimal results have been achieved.
​​
​​​
How long will the Results Last?
​
Wrinkle reduction treatments typically last 3 to 4 months, although this varies by individual and is dose-dependent. Over time, effects will gradually diminish, and treatment intervals may vary from person to person.

How Much do Wrinkle Reduction Treatments Cost?
​
Costs vary based on the number of areas treated and the extent of each. Please contact the clinic to book a consultation to discuss personalised cost information suited to your aims and requirements.
​
Are There Side Effects?
​
Generally, wrinkle reduction treatments involve minimal downtime, though there may be slight bleeding, bruising, or redness at the injection site. Residual bruising may take a few days to subside. Rare side effects can occur based on individual response to the medication, such as:
-
Spocking (raised eyebrow): May require a dose adjustment, which can be addressed during the 2-week review.
-
Puffiness or “shelfing” around the eyes: Typically resolves over the 3-month period, and may indicate the need for a dose or placement adjustment.
-
Temporary asymmetry or drooping in areas like the lip or mouth: This can be assessed and managed at the 2-week follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
1. What happens during a consultation for wrinkle reduction?
Before any treatment is administered, you will have a thorough face-to-face clinical assessment with Jessi. This involves a review of your medical history, an examination of your facial expressions, and a discussion about your aesthetic goals. This step is a mandatory clinical protocol to ensure that any prescribed intervention is clinically indicated and suitable for your unique anatomy and health profile.
​
2. How long does the clinical process take and when will I see a change?
The actual clinical session typically takes about 15–20 minutes. While every individual responds differently, most clients begin to notice a softening of movement within 3 to 5 days. The full clinical effect of the prescribed solution is usually established by the 14-day mark, at which point a follow-up review is encouraged.
​
3. Are there any potential side effects or risks?
As with any medical procedure involving an entry point in the skin, there is a risk of minor localized swelling, redness, or bruising at the site of application. Less common effects, such as temporary asymmetry or localised heaviness, can occur. Our team will provide a comprehensive list of potential risks and aftercare instructions during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
​
4. Why is a maintenance plan recommended for these treatments?
The effects of the solutions used in wrinkle reduction are temporary, as the body naturally metabolises the product over time. Generally, the effects last between 3 to 4 months. To maintain a consistent appearance and prevent the return of deeper lines, our team can help you develop a long-term clinical management plan tailored to your lifestyle.
Disclaimer:
​
These treatments are temporary, so a maintenance plan is recommended to sustain results. Sessions should ideally be scheduled every 12 weeks.
