How anti-wrinkle treatments are carried out at EST Clinic in Melbourne
If you choose to have your anti-wrinkle injections with us in Melbourne, this is what you can expect:
Consultation
At your initial consultation at one of our Melbourne clinics, you will meet with either a Specialist Plastic Surgeon or an experienced Cosmetic Nurse who will assess your facial features and spend time understanding your concerns.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions and address any concerns you may have before you decide to proceed with any treatments. Once you’ve decided what’s right for you, you’ll be provided with a personalised treatment plan suited to your individual needs.
Procedure
The procedure to administer the anti-wrinkle injections is very quick and can take less than 15 minutes. Tiny needles are used to inject the natural substance into the targeted areas. Most of our clients say that they find the procedure pain-free, however, a numbing cream can also be used to further minimise any possible discomfort.
Possible risks and side effects
Anti-wrinkle injections have been used for several decades for both cosmetic and reconstructive purposes. Like any medication, there is a risk of reactions but in general side effects are uncommon. Occasionally, there may be very small areas of bruising or swelling but generally, there is very minimal “downtime” associated with treatment.
Infections and other more serious complications are rare. It is important to undertake a thorough medical and aesthetic assessment with an EST Clinic specialist doctor prior to having any injectable or aesthetic treatment.

FAQs

The duration of the effect depends on the amount used, the number of courses of treatment applied and also previous treatments. In general, we would expect the effect to last between 3-6 months, although there is significant individual variation.
Anti-wrinkle injections can be considered at any age once you've reached adulthood. Legally, you must be over 18 years old. However, the decision to get these injections should not be solely based on age, but rather on individual needs, desired outcomes, and professional medical advice. Remember, prevention and a good skincare routine are also key in maintaining youthful skin.
There are a few things you should and shouldn't do before having anti-wrinkle injections such as cleanse your skin the morning of treatment and avoid any blood thinning medications or alcohol in the days before. At your initial consultation, you will be provided with all the pre and after-care instructions necessary so that you’re fully prepared for the treatment.
Anti-wrinkle injections typically take effect within a few days of the treatment, with the full effects becoming visible within a week. The results can last for about 3 to 6 months, depending on the type of injection used, the area being treated, and the individual's own metabolism. It's important to keep in mind that the effects of anti-wrinkle injections are not permanent and will eventually wear off.
Anti-wrinkle injections can produce a natural-looking result when performed by a qualified and skilled professional. However, it's important to have realistic expectations about the results and to be aware that the intended outcome of the treatment is not to completely eliminate wrinkles, but rather to reduce their appearance.
The most popular areas treated with anti-wrinkle injections include:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet
- Frown Lines
- Eyebrow lift
- Lip Flip
- Gummy Smile
- Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Our anti-wrinkle injections in Melbourne prevent muscle contraction, whereas dermal filler replaces lost volume. Anti-wrinkle injections are used to help prevent new wrinkles and reduce the appearance of old or emerging wrinkles. Dermal fillers are used to fill out depressed areas of the face, plump up cheeks or lips, and rejuvenate the skin.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
