WRINKLE REDUCTION AT REFRESH MEDISPA

This treatment primarily addresses dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated facial movements such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. These wrinkles are commonly known as ‘expression lines’ and tend to appear as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and glabellar lines (between the eyebrows). Anti-wrinkle injections are particularly effective at softening and preventing the formation of these wrinkles, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Aside from treating facial wrinkles, anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to address various medical conditions, including migraines & excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). These injections can effectively relax overactive muscles or glands, providing relief and improving quality of life for individuals experiencing these conditions.
During the application of anti-wrinkle injections, the skin is cleansed, and the targeted areas are identified. Using a fine needle, the injections are precisely administered into specific facial muscles. By relaxing these muscles, the skin appears smoother and wrinkles are visibly reduced.
The procedure is relatively quick, taking around 10-15 minutes, and typically involves minimal discomfort, often likened to a pinprick.
Areas Treated
Expected Results
Anti-wrinkle injections typically yield smoother, younger-looking skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Results are natural and subtle, preserving facial expressions while softening dynamic wrinkles. Following treatment you can expect a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance that lasts for several months before gradually wearing off.
Suitable candidates for anti-wrinkle injections are individuals bothered by facial wrinkles and seeking a non-surgical solution. They should be in good overall health with realistic expectations about the treatment’s outcomes. Candidates may include those with dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions such as frowning or squinting.
Anti-wrinkle injections can be effectively combined with other cosmetic treatments to enhance overall results. Common complementary treatments include dermal fillers for volume restoration, and laser skin rejuvenation for additional wrinkle reduction – which are also available at Refresh Medispa. This combination approach can provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation tailored to individual needs.
Anti-wrinkle injections are generally safe when administered by qualified healthcare professionals. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare, making this treatment a low-risk option for reducing facial wrinkles.
Following anti-wrinkle injections, minimal downtime is expected, with most individuals able to resume normal activities immediately. However, it’s advised to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol consumption for the first 24 hours. Aftercare may involve avoiding any positions which involve the head being lower than the heart or touching the face to optimise results.
Results from anti-wrinkle injections typically last 3-4 months before gradually wearing off. Factors such as individual metabolism, muscle activity, and dosage may affect duration. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results. With continued sessions, some individuals may experience prolonged intervals between treatments.

Enquire NowThe initial consultation was very informative and confirmed my understanding of acne which I have had since the start of puberty. Having lived with it for years now, I finally decided to deal with it. I have been having a hydrafacial with LED and can already see the difference.
I have been to a number of clinics previously to improve my skin and have always been disappointed. At Refresh Medispa, things could not be more different. I felt this was a proper medical skin clinic. Initially I received an in depth skin analysis and then my aesthetician recommended a full skin regime with regular reviews. I have been following this religiously and am astounded as to how good my skin looks.
