Smooth away fine lines and wrinkles with professional anti-wrinkle treatments at Core Aesthetics. Our qualified cosmetic nurses specialise in precision injection techniques that deliver natural-looking results, helping you achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance without compromising your facial expressions.
Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in Australia, trusted by thousands for their proven effectiveness in reducing the appearance of forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. At our Oakliegh clinic, we use only high quality products and follow strict safety protocols to ensure optimal outcomes for every client.
Whether you're noticing your first fine lines or seeking to maintain results from previous treatments, our personalised approach ensures you receive the right treatment intensity for your unique needs and aesthetic goals.
Anti-wrinkle treatments use purified proteins to temporarily relax specific facial muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles. These are the lines that form when you smile, frown, or squint. By reducing muscle activity in targeted areas, these treatments smooth existing lines and prevent new wrinkles from forming.
The treatment works by blocking nerve signals to the injected muscles, causing them to relax. This relaxation softens the appearance of wrinkles and creates a smoother, more youthful complexion. The effect is temporary, typically lasting 3-4 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns to normal.

Initial Consultation (30 minutes)
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and expectations. Our cosmetic nurse will assess your facial anatomy, explain how the treatment works, and answer all your questions. We'll create a customised treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Treatment Session (15-20 minutes)
On treatment day, we'll cleanse the treatment areas and mark precise injection points. Using ultra fine needles, we'll administer small amounts of product into targeted facial muscles. Most clients describe the sensation as a small pinch or pressure. No anaesthetic is typically required, though we can apply numbing cream if you're concerned about discomfort.
Immediate Aftercare
You can return to normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying down, or massaging the treated areas for 4 hours. Minor redness or swelling at injection sites typically resolves within an hour.
Results Timeline
You'll begin noticing smoother skin within 3-5 days, with full results visible after 10-14 days. Results typically last 3-4 months, though this varies based on individual metabolism and muscle strength.
Follow-Up Review (2 weeks)
We offer complimentary follow up appointments to assess your results and make any necessary adjustments.
Anti-wrinkle treatments are suitable for adults aged 18 and over who are concerned about dynamic facial wrinkles.

Initial improvements appear within 3-5 days, with full results visible after 10-14 days.

How much does treatment cost?
Pricing varies based on treatment areas and units required. We provide detailed quotes during your consultation.
Can I exercise after anti-wrinkle injections?
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment. Exercise increases blood flow and may cause the product to migrate or increase bruising risk.
When can I wear makeup after treatment?
Wait at least 4 hours before applying makeup to injection sites. This allows injection points to close and reduces infection risk.
What should I avoid after anti-wrinkle injections?
For 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, excessive heat (saunas, hot yoga), and massaging treated areas. For 2 weeks, avoid facials, facial massages, and other facial treatments.
