Wrinkle Treatments Sydney

Wrinkles aren't created equally, and nor does one wrinkle treatment treat all wrinkles. Sun exposure and smoking, facial movements and expressions, loss of facial volume from whatever cause, gravity and even sleeping all create different lines and wrinkles. Before deciding on the most appropriate wrinkle treatment for you our qualified doctors or specialised nurse injectors will review your history, assess your complexion and discuss your goals.

Injectable fillers

Injectable fillers are used to treat "static" wrinkles, that is those that are present when your face is at rest. They are placed just below the wrinkle or fold to "fill in" or "plump up" the depression.All fllers used at Heber Davis are made of complex sugars that occur naturally in our skin. As well, fillers restore more youthful facial contours and reshape the face by adding attractive volume where needed.

Injectable fillers are not only used to correct wrinkles but also  enhance and define lips, add volume and definition to the cheeks and reduce the appearance of dark hollows under the eyes. Injectable fillers are also used to soften and smooth some types of acne scars.


Muscle relaxant injections

Muscle relaxant injections treat "dynamic" wrinkles, that is, those caused by facial movement such as frowning and squinting. They relax the muscles that cause wrinkling and unwanted facial expressions to create a smoother, rejuvenated, but still natural look.

Muscle relaxants are most commonly used to treat frown lines, crows feet and forehead lines, but can also create an eyebrow lift, reduce a gummy smile,smoothe a dimpled chin, slim the jawline and stop the downward pull of muscles on the mouth and neck.

Muscle relaxants are also used to reduce teeth grinding and to treat underarm sweating.

The procedure is quick, well tolerated and involves no downtime. All normal activities can be resumed immediately.

Experience counts:  During 2011, Heber Davis performed over 2200 muscle relaxant treatments.  Temporary weakness  of an upper  eyelid is a recognised risk of muscle relaxant treatment of the upper face.  The worldwide incidence of this side effect is 3.2%. At Heber Davis the incidence in 2011 was  0.0005%.

Facial re-volumisation

One of the key markers of an ageing face is loss of youthful rounded volume.  This loss leaves the face looking flat, gaunt and tired, with excess wrinkles and folds.  Long lasting dermal fillers instantly restore youthful roundness to  ageing  features to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Volumising fillers also add a touch of "glamour" to enhance the natural beauty of younger faces.

Fillers are applied deeply to immediately add volume.  Re-volumisation is well tolerated, and delivers  high levels  of patient satisfaction.   Results are long lasting and may persist for up to two years.
