Always, our goal is to reach a patient’s potential for beauty, the best version of themselves they can be... not just chase lines, and make cheeks or lips larger just because we can.

At a younger age, facial features are typically supported by naturally high bone density, smooth skin, and well-distributed soft tissue. These characteristics contribute to a fresh and vibrant appearance without the need for intervention.
As we age, subtle changes in facial structure and soft tissue support can influence overall harmony. In clinical practice, a tailored approach that considers individual anatomy and outcomes is essential.
Treatments, appropriate and performed by qualified professionals, can support facial balance and restore a sense of vitality.
We encourage anyone considering aesthetic treatments to seek a professional consultation to explore options that are safe, evidence-based, and aligned with their personal goals.

In today’s Australia, with its heritage dating back through Christian roots for thousands of years, women particularly grow up with an unconscious belief that caring about our appearance is not an attractive, or positive trait.

The most common annoying aspects of muscle relaxant injections treatment are: Occasional tiny bruises, mild redness or swelling at injection sites lasting a few minutes or the need for a touch up at 2 weeks occasionally.

Of more concern

• Heavy eyebrows or lids (too much, or too low, or more sensitive than usual patient)
• Looking too frozen (too much)
• Asymmetry (usually settles with a touch up)
• Spread to adjacent muscles causing eye lid droop temporarily (less than 1/500) or uneven smile

More common annoying aspects include bruising and swelling.

Of more concern

• Vessel occlusion due to inadvertent product entering a blood vessel can result in skin necrosis if not promptly treated, and in extremely rare incidences, permanent loss of vision.
• Infection, rare but possible. All steps should be taken to choose a reputable clinic with appropriate sterile procedure.
• Later reactions, lumps/inflammation are uncommon but can be problematic, weeks to years later. More common with permanent and stimulatory type gels. Careful technique and sterility can help prevent this.

Muscle relaxant injections wear off in 3-4 months.
