When it comes to achieving a youthful, refreshed appearance in Victoria, non-surgical cosmetic treatments like anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers have become increasingly popular. Due to Australian regulations, the specific brand names of these products cannot be advertised, but they sound similar to “Sport” and “Ox.”

Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified form of botulinum toxin to relax targeted facial muscles responsible for expression lines such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. By temporarily blocking nerve signals, these injections smooth out the overlying skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The treatment is quick—typically taking just 10 to 15 minutes—with minimal discomfort. Results begin to appear within a few days and generally last three to four months, after which a maintenance treatment may be needed.

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are made from substances like hyaluronic acid and are injected beneath the skin to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth fine lines. They work by replenishing lost volume, stimulating collagen production, and hydrating the treated area—offering an immediate rejuvenating effect. Depending on the area being treated, the procedure can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. Some mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves quickly. Results are visible immediately and can last from six months up to two years or more, depending on the product used.
