Wrinkle Relaxer Injections Melbourne

That the treatment addresses one specific cause of ageing: muscle movement. It will soften lines created by expression but won't replace lost volume, lift loose skin or repair sun damage. A good consultation identifies which of these factors is actually driving your concern before recommending anything.

Not with appropriate dosing and placement. The frozen look comes from over-treating or treating the wrong muscles. Dr Rakib maps your individual muscle pattern and doses conservatively: the aim is that you look rested, not different, and a two-week review allows fine adjustment.

By muscle, not by template. Stronger muscles need more; smaller or expressive faces need less. Men typically need higher doses than women in the same area because of greater muscle mass. Your dose is set at assessment and refined over your first one or two treatments.

There's no fixed age: the question is whether dynamic lines are starting to persist at rest. Treating at that point, rather than years later, prevents lines etching in deeply. Starting earlier than that adds little; a consultation can tell you plainly if you'd benefit from waiting.

Muscle strength, metabolism, skin quality and how deeply lines were etched before starting all vary. Two patients having identical treatment can hold their result for different lengths of time. Your pattern becomes predictable after the first couple of treatments, and the plan adjusts to it.

Muscle activity returns to normal over a few months and lines gradually resume their previous pattern. You won't look worse than before, but the protective effect of reduced creasing stops, so lines continue their natural progression.
