Preventative anti-wrinkle injections work on the theory that starting regular anti-wrinkle injections prior to the appearance of wrinkles (usually in one’s late twenties) will actually prevent the onset of said fine lines & wrinkles. The ideal age to start for each person, however, is variable and depends on a variety of factors including genetics, use of skincare actives, use of sunscreen & time spent outdoors.
Anti-wrinkle injections are composed of a natural, purified protein. When injected into specific facial muscles, the muscles causing wrinkles are relaxed, reducing dynamic lines and creating a younger, softer, and more natural-looking appearance. Anti-wrinkle injections inhibit the transmission of neurotransmitters from the nerve to the muscle and stop the muscle from contracting and forming wrinkles. They also stop the constant compression of your skin, preventing the permanent “etching” of wrinkles in the areas treated.
Anti-Wrinkle Injection procedures are well established and well understood, so the treatment is considered suitable and safe for anyone over 18 years of age who is looking to reverse or prevent lines and wrinkles, or to achieve a range of other outcomes (such as jaw slimming) by relaxing muscles in the face.
The cost of the procedure depends on the area being treated and how much of the product is needed to achieve the results you’re after. Check out our price list for pricing and packages. Don’t Worry We have both AfterPay and ZipPay available.
Don’t worry: these procedures aren’t especially painful. Like any injection, there’s a small sting when the needle pierces the skin, but this sensation is typically short and not too intense. Any pain is confined to the injection site and is over before you know it. You may also experience mild discomfort in the 24 hours following the treatment because of swelling, but there is no ongoing discomfort or pain.
Each Anti-Wrinkle Injection is quick, straightforward and does not put the body under stress, so multiple areas can be treated simultaneously, saving you time and money.
The benefits of Anti-Wrinkle Injections can last from 3 – 4 months before lines slowly begin to return. The more treatments you have, the longer the effects last and the slower new wrinkles form, so you can look forward to fewer treatments over time.
It takes 2 – 3 days for Anti-Wrinkle Treatments to begin working, and 7 – 14 days for them to reach their full effects. There may be some redness and swelling immediately after the treatment, but this will subside within 24 hours and does not make the treatment less effective.
It varies from person to person, but in general, Anti-Wrinkle Injections last from 3 – 4 months. We recommend visiting every 3 months to maintain optimal results. Over time, you may need to visit less often.
Anti-Wrinkle lip flips involve putting small amounts of anti-Wrinkle injections around the upper border of the lip. This causes a relaxation of the muscle that purses the lip which in turn increases the height of the lip. Anti-Wrinkle lip flips can also help with undesirable smoker’s lines and so improve the appearance of wrinkling around the lip. The main advantage of anti-wrinkle lip flips is that they are typically cheaper and easier to do than filler lip flips. The disadvantage of anti-wrinkle lip flips is that results may vary from person to person and results typically do not last as long as fillers.
Five injection points either side on the top of your jaw can be extremely beneficial for chronic teeth grinders, for those with TMJ issues and for those wanting their jawline to have a slimmer appearance.
Baby botox is essentially smaller doses of the toxin, used mainly by younger patients, with the aim of prevention rather than treatment of wrinkles.
The idea is that injecting smaller amounts of antiwrinkle around the eyes, forehead and eyebrows helps to prevent the formation of fine lines or wrinkles, or at the very least, slows down the development of them.
The changes are much more subtle than the dramatic outcomes of a regular anti-wrinkle treatment.
IPL is a non-invasive treatment technique for hair removal and skin rejuvenation treatments, including skin clearing, redness reduction and skin tone correction.
Dermal Filler injections are the non-surgical way to boost the volume and hydration of your facial features, restoring a more youthful appearance. They can be used to shape lips and lift cheeks, correct asymmetry, and fill and firm deep folds and facial wrinkles, including marionette lines and smile lines. It is also useful for treating dark circles and hollows under the eyes, resulting in a fresher, brighter appearance. We use a soft injectable gel which closely resembles the natural proteins that exist in the body. Our Dermal Filler treatments are an effortless and affordable way to instantly restore volume and rejuvenate your face.
The length of time your treatment will last depends on the type of Dermal Filler and area being treated. Some Dermal Fillers can last for 6 – 12 months, while others can last years.
There’s no need to be nervous: discomfort is typically minimal and brief. We may use a local anaesthetic when required, depending on the area being treated.
Dermal Fillers are generally used for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and for adding volume and fullness to skin that has suffered a loss of volume. Dermal Fillers can be used for areas of the face including cheeks, chin, nasolabial folds, temples, corners of the mouth and – most commonly – to fill the lips.
Following Dermal Filler treatments, redness and swelling may last up to 24 hours. Some clients may experience bruising for up to 7 days, particularly around the mouth.
We use a soft injectable gel which closely resembles the natural substances that exist in the body to fill deeper lines, restore lost volume and enhance existing features.
An easy way to remember the difference between the treatments is to think of ‘fillers’ as injectable treatments that ‘add’ structure and volume to areas such as the cheeks, chin and lips, while ‘anti’-wrinkle treatments aim to ‘reduce’ wrinkles by relaxing and softening the muscle to smooth the appearance of the skin.
Dermal Fillers can last anywhere from 3 months to several years, after which the treatment can be repeated.
Common side effects can include redness, swelling, pain, bruising, itching and rash. These usually tend to occur around the injection site and can occur immediately and usually clear within 7-14 days.
While less common, you should be aware of the following RARE side effects: infection, leakage of the filler through the injection site, nodules around the injection site, which may need to be surgically removed, granulomas, a type of inflammatory reaction to the filler, movement of the filler from one area to another, injury to blood vessels, blindness, which occurs when the filler gets injected into an artery, blocking blood flow to the eyes, tissue death, again due to blocked blood flow
Dermal Filler treatments start from $410 with great value packages available. AfterPay and ZipPay options are available.
Want to get that problem area gone permanently with our fat dissolving injections.
The treatment is man made naturally occurring substance produced by your body to aid in the breakdown of dietary fat. In this case, though, it's injected into the submental fat layer around your love handles. Within minutes, the acid kills the cells through a process known as lysis; in the weeks that follow, your immune system will naturally (and permanently!) dispose of the cellular debris.
Most clients need one treatment but for fat that has been laying dormant for many years it may need two rounds.
PDO Mono Threads are made from an absorbable material called Polydioxanone. This material has been used in surgical operations for over 50 years with an excellent safety profile.
PDO Mono threads are carefully inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin to create an intensive collagen stimulation process. These dissolvable threads act as a scaffold for your bodies own natural collagen fibre production.
The threads slowly dissolve over 6 months, leaving behind a mesh network of collagen fibres that are responsible for visible skin tightening and rejuvenation that lasts out to 12-24 months.
PRP is a procedure that involves taking a sample of your blood and separating the platelets and plasma from the red blood cells.
PRP is then re-injecting it back into your skin to promote new skin cells, stimulate collagen production, repair cell damage and regenerate tissue growth.
We all have platelets in our blood. PRP is 3-step procedure that involves having your blood places into a machine that separates the platelets from the rest of your blood and re-injected into you (only the part of your blood that contains a high concentration of platelets).
Doctors use PRP to help athletes recover more quickly after an injury or for joint injuries. We can also use PRP as a treatment for hair loss. PRP may also speed up wound healing.
You would have a small amount of blood (about 2 to 4 tablespoons) drawn from your arm.
The test tube containing your blood would be placed in a medical device called a centrifuge, which separates your blood into layers. One of these layers contains a high concentration of platelets.
Blood injected: Your nurse injector injects the blood that contains the high concentration of platelets into your face or scalp, using a syringe or microneedling. To give you immediate results, your nurse injector may also inject as filler.
The entire procedure takes about 45 minutes to one hour.

Micro needling for acne scars works by penetrating the top layer of skin with tiny needles which induce an increase in collagen production where the micro-wounds are created. The excess collagen acts as a filler, smoothing out the skin around the scars and improving overall appearance.
Micro-needling is designed to create a safe healing response, this boosts your body to make new collagen and elastin production, which will leave your skin looking brighter, toned, help refine pores and reduction fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a youthful appearance.
With no harsh side effects and downtime, Micro-needling can be conducted for your face, neck, chest, hands, scar tissue to promote rapid firming and lifting of features.
Paired with the use of your own PRP that is Micro-needle into your skin, this treatment is ideal for Enhancing, Plumping and Firming your skin.
Biostimulator Injections are an increasingly popular skin tightening cosmetic procedure that works by injecting a biocompatible synthetic substance that stimulates collagen production. Once collagen build-up has occurred, the biodegradable particles are absorbed by the body, leaving just the natural collagen support structure.
Skin ageing involves a loss of collagen and thinning of elastic fibres (elastin). Elastin and collagen form the ‘scaffolding’ of the face and as they diminish with age, we lose structure and elasticity in the skin resulting in facial laxity or ‘sagging’, fine lines, and wrinkles. Biostimulator Injections can help replenish the lost collagen and elastin.
Patients are left with healthy and natural looking more youthful skin. Fine lines, wrinkles and skin folds are improved. In addition, it may improve Acne Scars.
It can also be used to improve facial volume and treat lipoatrophy, which is facial wasting, or loss of facial fat.

Profhilo Injections Deeply Hydrate your Skin, Improve Skin Firmness & Glow
Profhilo is an advanced injectable anti-ageing treatment that increases skin hydration and improves skin firmness, resulting in healthier and smoother skin. This cosmetic treatment is given by injecting a stabilised form of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin. It’s effects boost hydration in the skin and also remodels the sagging skin.
Profhilo is not a dermal filler , it does not add fullness to the face.
Profhilo injections help to improve overall skin quality and acts as a inner skin booster which targets deeper skin lines. Here is common treatment areas Profhilo is used for:
Increase the firmness and elasticity of the skin
Improve skin hydration
Improve skin tone and texture
Restore glow and radiance to the skin
Tighten and lift the skin
Profhilo® is a unique skin remodelling treatment that works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin through the slow release of Hyaluronic Acid (HA).
Profhilo uses Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body to hydrate, firm and actually rebuild new, younger-looking skin cells.
This works on reversing the signs of ageing at a cellular level, stimulating new collagen and elastin cells, significantly improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and giving you firmer, more youthful skin on your face.
With dermal fillers, the results tend to be very localised because the gel only stays in the area in which it has been injected. However Hyaluronic Acid is different. Once injected it disperses evenly throughout the skin, so the effects are visible throughout your whole face, giving a much more even anti-ageing result.
As you age your body starts to produce less collagen and elastin – the cells that give your skin its structure and firmness. When these cells start to reduce, your skin can no longer hold its appearance and the first signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles, start to appear.
Profhilo works right at the root cause of the problem – stimulating collagen and elastin production and increasing the elasticity of your skin.
The Profhilo is injected just below the skin’s surface in only 2 sessions over a period of 4 weeks. It disperses quickly to boost and instantly hydrate your skin, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and resulting in improved skin texture.
Profhilo is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity. With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg / 2ml) it is not only amazing at boosting and hydrating the skin but it is also one of the most effective products out there for remodelling the ageing and sagging tissue.
An increasing popular non-surgical cosmetic dermatology technique, plasma skin rejuvenation offers effective results on a range of common skin concerns

- Lax, sagging skin
- Drooping eyelids (non-surgical blepharoplasty)
- Superficial and cystic acne
- Skin tags
- Moles and pigmented lesions
- Acne and atrophic scarring
- Hypertrophic scarring
- Cherry angiomas
Plasma treatments utilise a small electrical charge to deliver energy to the superficial skin cells, transitioning the targeted area from a solid to a gas state without damaging surrounding tissue, a process known as sublimation. Plasma treatments initiate a wound healing response in the skin, stimulating Fibroblast cells to produce more collagen and repair the skin.
During the natural aging process less collagen is produced, elastin fibers wear out and the dermal layer thins, resulting in wrinkling, sagging skin. Plasma Skin Rejuvenation treatments with the Plexr Plus are designed to stimulate cells to produce more collagen and repair the skin, resulting in plumper younger looking skin. Collagen continues to generate for 4-6 weeks after treatment, resulting in lifted and smoother skin.
Treatments with the Plexr Plus are designed to tighten the skin on the face body and neck, lift drooping eyelids and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Results are dramatic, with many clients achieving their desired result after a single treatment.
