I want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles
This treatment, crafted from a neuromuscular blocking agent, works wonders in reducing the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, you know, those little creases between the brows that seem to pop up when we’re lost in thought or concentrating too hard.
Administered by our expert Registered Nurses or Doctors, this prescription injection targets dynamic wrinkles – those expression lines that show up when we’re smiling, frowning, or squinting. Say goodbye to those “11’s” and crow’s feet, and hello to a more relaxed, refreshed look.
Now, it’s important to note that while our age-prevention treatment is a game-changer for dynamic wrinkles, it won’t do much for those fine lines and wrinkles caused by ageing and sagging skin.

Oh, and did we mention the versatility of this treatment? Beyond its cosmetic benefits, it can also work wonders for teeth grinding, migraines, and even balancing out a gummy smile. So, whether you’re looking to smooth out those lines or seeking relief from other pesky issues, our age-prevention treatment is here to support you on your journey to age amazingly.
Age-Prevention Solution FAQs
Are age-prevention treatments safe?
The most common side effects of age-prevention treatments are headaches, treatment site pain, treatment site skin reaction, bruising or nausea.
At what age should I start using age-prevention products?
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.
Can age-prevention treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)?
Here’s how age-prevention treatments are used to treat hyperhidrosis:
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.
How long do the effects of age-prevention treatments last?
How long does it take to see results from age-prevention treatments?
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.
What areas can you treat with age-prevention?
Forehead: Age-prevention treatments can address horizontal forehead lines, as well as vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows (also known as frown lines or glabellar lines).
Crow’s feet: These are the lines that radiate from the outer corners of the eyes. Age-prevention treatments, can help reduce the appearance of crow’s feet by relaxing the underlying muscles.
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.
Balance a Gummy Smile
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!
What should I do to prepare for my age-prevention treatment?
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.
I want more volume in my lips and cheeks
Over time, the lips may lose their defined border and volume, leaving them appearing flat and lacklustre. Our lip treatment is designed to redefine the cupid’s bow and replenish lost volume, enhancing the natural beauty of your lips for a more youthful and pouty appearance.
Not only is this treatment cost-effective, but there is minimal downtime, making it a favourite choice among those embarking on their Age Amazingly Journey.
Volume Enhancer FAQs
Are there any side effects when having a cosmetic enhancement?
Administration-related reactions: After administration, you may experience some temporary administration-related reactions, such as redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the site. These usually resolve within a few days to a week.
Allergic reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions can occur. Symptoms may include itching, rash, hives, or even anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction). Inform your cosmetic nurse or doctor about any known allergies or sensitivities before the treatment.
Infection: There is a small risk of infection at the administration site. It’s essential to ensure that the treatment is performed in a sterile environment and that proper post-treatment care instructions are followed to minimise the risk of infection.
Granulomas: In some cases, small lumps or nodules called granulomas may develop at the administration site. These can be treated by your cosmetic nurse or doctor and may require additional intervention or removal. Ensure you contact the clinic if you notice anything unusual or have any questions.
Vascular complications: In rare instances, volume enhancers can inadvertently be put into a blood vessel, leading to complications. This can cause tissue damage, skin discoloration, or, in severe cases, necrosis (tissue death). It is crucial to choose a qualified cosmetic nurse or doctor who has a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and administration techniques to minimise the risk of such complications.
Asymmetry or irregularities: In rare cases, volume enhancers may result in asymmetry or unevenness in the treated area. Proper administration technique and careful assessment can help reduce this risk.
It’s important to discuss these potential side effects with your cosmetic nurse or doctor and address any concerns you may have before undergoing the treatment.
Does a volume enhancer treatment hurt?
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.
How long do volume enhancers last?
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.
