Anti-wrinkle treatment is a non-surgical treatment that may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and expression wrinkles caused by muscle movement. An appointment for a comprehensive consultation and facial rejuvenation assessment is the first step for clients to explore whether anti-wrinkle treatment may align with their individual needs and goals.
At our centrally located Melbourne clinic, anti-ageing wrinkle treatments are offered as part of our non-surgical facial rejuvenation services. These treatments are often selected for areas such as frown lines or crow’s feet, and some individuals may notice changes over several days.
The procedure involves the use of purified proteins, which are carefully administered into specific facial muscles. Interrupting the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions may result in a more relaxed facial appearance.
Anti-ageing wrinkle treatments work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles that cause expression lines. This is achieved by blocking the nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract, softening expression lines and reducing the frequency of repeated muscle contractions.
By reducing repeated muscle movement, the skin may appear smoother and is less likely to develop deeper lines in the future. The effect is temporary and usually lasts between 3 to 5 months, although individual results can vary depending on metabolism, muscle activity, and treatment area.
What is the difference between dermal filler and muscle-relaxing treatments? Anti-wrinkle facial treatments relax the muscles which form wrinkles, especially those commonly occurring as:

Most healthy adults looking to reduce signs of ageing, like frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead wrinkles, may be suitable for non-surgical wrinkle treatments depending on their individual health, skin condition, and aesthetic preferences. These procedures may be appropriate for:

A consultation is required to assess medical history, skin concerns, and overall suitability for the procedure.
Muscle relaxant treatments may be used to address concerns such as facial slimming or teeth grinding (Bruxism). This treatment typically involves administering the product into the masseter muscles (the jaw muscles responsible for clenching) to reduce their activity. As a result, some individuals may report changes in jawline appearance over time.
This option is sometimes chosen by clients with broader facial features, including those with strong jaw muscles. Results vary depending on muscle size and the number of sessions recommended by the practitioner.

Some clients describe the sensation as a slight scratch or pinprick, though individual experience may vary. Extremely fine syringes are used to administer the relaxant to reduce discomfort.
Over time, some individuals may notice changes in expression lines as the treated muscles relax. The results of these treatments take effect gradually over the following few days, with the full effect becoming evident within 7 to 10 days.

When performed by a trained professional, these treatments may offer certain aesthetic benefits, including:
● Relaxation of targeted facial muscles

● An option for those seeking non-surgical facial enhancement
Getting anti-wrinkle treatments typically involves minimal downtime. However, you can expect certain after-effects such as redness and mild swelling which will subside with time. There may also be some temporary bruising at the site of the treatment.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Some may benefit from an anti-wrinkle treatment, while others may require a combination of skin rejuvenation treatments depending on their skin type and goals.
This depends on the individual’s skin, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. A clinician can advise the most appropriate anti-ageing strategy following an assessment.
Daily sunscreen, moisturisers with peptides, and products containing retinol or hyaluronic acid can help support smoother skin alongside in-clinic treatments.
A consultation with one of the MLAC Cosmetic Nurses is the first step when considering anti-wrinkle treatment. We will discuss your medical history and alternative options prior to planning the appropriate treatment.
