When it comes to achieving a youthful, refreshed appearance in Geelong, non-surgical cosmetic treatments like anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers have become increasingly popular. Australian regulations prohibit the use of specific drug names for these injections. They sound similar to “Sport” and “Ox.” Anti-wrinkle injections, involve the use of a purified botulinum toxin to relax specific facial muscles responsible for wrinkles like crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. These injections temporarily block nerve signals, leading to smoother, wrinkle-free skin. The treatment is quick and usually takes only 10-15 minutes, with minimal discomfort. Results become noticeable within a few days and last for three to four months before a follow-up may be necessary.

On the other hand, dermal fillers consist of various substances like hyaluronic acid and are injected beneath the skin’s surface to add volume and plump areas while smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers work by replacing lost volume, stimulating collagen production, and hydrating the treated area, providing an immediate rejuvenating effect. The procedure can take between 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but is temporary. Results are instant, and their duration varies, typically lasting from six months to two years or more.
