Revitalise Your Appearance with Wrinkle Injections in Brisbane

Overview

Injectable treatments can be used to relax the facial muscles or plump the skin in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including those located around the eyes, on the forehead, and in the creases near the nose.  At Brisbane Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, wrinkle injections are administered by Dr. Philip Richardson, an expert in a variety of rejuvenating treatments, including breast augmentation and breast lift surgery.

Collagen Wrinkle Injections

Collagen wrinkle injections provide a temporary solution for scar and wrinkle reduction or lip enhancement. A natural protein derived from cattle, collagen injections can cause allergic reactions in some people. For this reason, an allergy test is usually performed a month before treatment. Results typically last between six months and a year. However, some people absorb collagen into their skin rapidly, making the results less effective.

Other Treatments

There are a variety of injectable treatments for wrinkle reduction. One class of treatment, fillers, is comprised of effective hyaluronic acid-based wrinkle injections that fill in lines, wrinkles, and depressions. These can also be used to enhance the lips and add fullness to the contours of the face. The other type of wrinkle injections offered at our Brisbane practice works to relax the muscles, thereby fading wrinkles induced by repeated muscle movements. Since many of these treatments are not animal-based, allergy testing is not necessary before treatment. Therefore, injections can be performed immediately and the results are instantaneous. Redness, swelling, and itching are normal reactions and typically disappear within a few days.
