There’s no specific age to start using age-prevention products. However, incorporating a good skincare routine and products with antioxidants and moisturizers in your twenties can help maintain healthy skin and potentially delay the onset of wrinkles. Many women are using age-prevention as a preventative and we recommend booking in for a personalised consultation to discuss if this is suitable for you.

Assessment: A qualified cosmetic expert will evaluate your condition and determine the severity and specific areas affected by hyperhidrosis.

Treatment plan: Based on the assessment, your cosmetic expert will develop a tailored treatment plan to your needs. This includes determining the number of treatments and the specific sites to be treated and advising of the cost of these treatments.

Procedure: Age-prevention treatments are administered directly into the skin using a very fine needle. The procedure is typically performed in the cosmetic clinic and does not require anaesthesia. The targeted areas for treatment may include the underarms, palms, feet, or other areas affected by excessive sweating.

Effectiveness: The age-prevention temporarily blocks the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands in the treated area. This reduces the production of sweat, providing relief from hyperhidrosis symptoms. The results usually become noticeable within a few days to a week after treatment.
Duration of effect: The effects of age-prevention treatments for hyperhidrosis can last for several months, but this can vary among individuals. As the effects wear off, the sweat glands gradually regain their function, and the symptoms may return. Repeat treatments are typically required to maintain the desired level of sweat reduction.

As all cosmetic treatments it is essential to have a consult with a qualified cosmetic expert who is skilled in the treatment of hyperhidrosis to determine if anti-wrinkle treatments are a suitable option for you.

The time to see results depends on the specific treatment and product used. Results may vary but typically in the first 1-3 days after the procedure, you will notice gradual muscle weakening in the treated area. Age-prevention reaches its full effects 2 weeks after your session.

Brow area: Age-prevention treatments can also be used to lift and shape the eyebrows. By undergoing age-prevention treatment in specific muscles, it’s possible to create a subtle brow lift and smooth out wrinkles in the brow area.

Nasolabial folds: These are the deep lines or creases that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Dermal fillers can be used to soften the appearance of nasolabial folds and restore volume in the area.

Chin: Age-prevention treatments can be used to address the appearance of horizontal lines, dimpling, or an “orange peel” texture on the chin.

Age-prevention can also be used to treat chronic migraines and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

It’s important to note that the specific treatment areas will vary depending on your individual requirements. It is essential to have a consultation to discuss your requirements and have a tailored plan for you.

Also, remember, it can take a few treatments to get the perfect result!

Avoid wearing make-up to your appointment, alternatively your cosmetic expert will remove any make-up before treatment to avoid the risk of infection while treating.

A topical numbing cream can be applied to the treatment area before the procedure. This can help minimise any discomfort or pain during the treatment process. Ice can also be used in conjunction with this to minimise any bruising and or swelling.
During the procedure, you may feel a slight prick or pinch. Some people also report a feeling of pressure or mild stinging sensation during the treatment. However, the discomfort is usually brief and tolerable for most individuals.

It’s important to note that any discomfort experienced during the treatment is typically temporary and subsides shortly after the procedure. Most people find the overall discomfort associated with volume enhancer treatments to be manageable and outweighed by the desired results.

If you have specific concerns about pain or discomfort, it’s best to discuss them with your cosmetic nurse. They can address your questions, provide recommendations for pain management, and help ensure your comfort during the procedure.

To help extend the life of your volume enhancer treatment and maintain optimal results, consider the following tips:

Follow aftercare instructions: You can find your post care instructions here. Follow these instructions carefully, which may include avoiding certain activities, applying ice packs, avoiding excessive heat or sun exposure, and avoiding certain skincare products or treatments for a period of time.

Protect your skin from the sun: UV rays can accelerate the breakdown of volume enhancer and contribute to premature ageing of the skin. Protect your skin by wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, seeking shade when the sun is strongest, and wearing protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses when exposed to the sun.

Maintain a good skincare routine: Use gentle cleansers and moisturisers suitable for your skin type. Avoid harsh or abrasive skincare products that can irritate the skin or potentially degrade the enhancer. Consider using products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides that can help support skin health and collagen production. Discuss options with our clinic staff.

Avoid excessive heat and extreme cold: Exposure to extreme heat, such as saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms, can potentially affect the longevity of volume enhancer. Similarly, extremely cold temperatures or icing the treated area excessively should be avoided.

Minimise facial movements: While volume enhancers are designed to withstand normal facial movements, excessive repetitive movements, such as frequent frowning or squinting, may cause the enhancer to break down faster. Be mindful of facial expressions and consider practices like facial exercises or stress reduction techniques to minimise unnecessary muscle movements.

Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle: Drinking an adequate amount of water and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help promote overall skin health and hydration, which can contribute to the longevity of volume enhancers.

Consider maintenance treatments: The effects of volume enhancer are not permanent, and the longevity can vary among individuals. To maintain the desired results, discuss with your cosmetic expert what frequency of treatments or touch-ups is recommended for you.

Volume enhancers are very versatile and there are a variety of types than are suitable for different areas. Some of the treatments using volume enhancers are:

• Making your facial features more symmetrical
• Plump cheeks
• Enhance and balance your lips with volume enhancer
• Smooth wrinkles and creases in your face
• Improve the appearance of recessed scars
• Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
• Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids (orbital rims)
• Add volume to sagging skin
• Straighten and balance noses

There are also alternatives to volume enhancers that you can discuss with your cosmetic expert.

We use a very effective topical numbing agent on the skin prior to the procedure. Biostimulator is mixed with lidocaine, so you will feel numb as the treatment is being done. Some areas are more sensitive, such as around the nose and lips. 

Each Biostimulator appointment typically runs for 40mins. Treatment time will depend on the size and depth of the treated area as well as the amount of product to be used. Biostimulator is at least a 2-3 state treatment, and sometimes requires one or two additional treatments to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments you will need depends on your age and skin type. The first two treatments need to be done within 4-6 weeks of each other.  

To achieve long lasting results, it is very important to have the first two treatments within 6 weeks. The results normally will show approximately 3 months after your last treatment (2-3 treatments), and it normally takes up to three or four months after the last treatment to see the final results which can then last for a significant period of around 12-15 months. 

Biostimulator is used to treat areas of the face that have become depressed due to uneven distribution of facial tissues and the loss of skin elasticity. Biostimulator makes the skin appear smoother and firmer, enabling it to regain its previous elasticity. It is an excellent treatment for the areas such as the nasal labial folds, corner of the mouth and cheeks as it adds volume to the cheeks around the nose area, the folds around the chin and the mouth. We do not put this product directly under the eyes or around the lips.

• Elevating cheekbones
• Nasolabial folds (nose to mouth)
• Defining the jawline
• Hollow temples
• Backs of hands
• Arms
• Tops of legs

The cost of your Biostimulator treatment will vary depending on the areas you want treated. Prices start from $880 per treatment.
