Anti Wrinkle Treatment
Smooth lines and wrinkles
with anti-wrinkle treatments from ICCM
Looking for effective, affordable anti-wrinkle treatments in Sydney?
Anti-wrinkle muscle relaxant treatments are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world. They relax facial muscles, restricting their ability to function as normal, thus smoothing out wrinkles and creating a smoother, more youthful and relaxed appearance. Additionally, they are effective, affordable, convenient, and there is no downtime associated with this non-invasive treatment.
Generally, anti-wrinkle treatments are particularly useful in reducing or eliminating “dynamic” lines of the upper face, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. For treatment of more permanent “static” lines please visit our page on cosmetic fillers.
Which areas are anti-wrinkle treatments most useful for?
Anti-wrinkle treatments are extremely effective for the treatments of:
- Frown lines
- Crows’ feet
- Forehead lines
- Excess sweating (underarms, hands and feet)
- Facial slimming
- Bunny lines (lines on top of the nose)
- Chin creases
Strategically placed anti-wrinkle treatments can also relax the muscles in the jaw to create a slimmer jaw line and reduce or stop the downward pull of the lip depressor muscles.
Anti-wrinkle treatments are also used in a variety of medical conditions, including treatment of migraines and tension headaches, teeth grinding, and excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms.
The initial consultation may take between 15-20 minutes. After consent is obtained, the procedure itself takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes only. A follow-up appointment would not normally be required.
The treatment will start to take effect usually within two to three days with the maximum effect usually achieved in 7-14 days.

Anti-wrinkle treatment FAQs
Generally, there are few side effects associated with anti-wrinkle treatments and these are usually transient in nature.
Minor swelling and redness at the treatment site usually resolves within the first few minutes. Some people may experience mild, short-term bruising, which is easily covered with makeup. Mild headaches after the treatment have also been reported, but this can be treated with oral painkillers like Panadol.
In rare cases, the anti-wrinkle treatment medication can spread beyond the desired muscle when injected in the frown region and may cause temporary drooping of the upper eyelid. This is extremely rare in the hands of an experienced doctor and is treatable with topical eye drops in most cases. It usually resolves within a few weeks.
Most clients return to work or normal activities immediately following our anti-wrinkle treatments. However, it is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting and massaging of the injected area for 24 hours.
The aim of anti-wrinkle treatment is to look refreshed and not to look “frozen” or “stunned.” In the hands of an experienced injector, the results look natural with appropriate facial expressions.
Our anti-wrinkle treatments start at $4.50 per unit.

Risks and complications of cosmetic surgery
These risks, while concerning, are generally rare and can be mitigated through careful planning, following pre- and post-operative care instructions, and working with qualified and experienced medical practitioners, like those at ICCM. But it can still be beneficial to understand potential risks that can occur, so you can discuss these risks before proceeding with any treatment.
Bruising and Swelling
Bruising and swelling are common side effects of surgery as the body responds to tissue trauma. While these symptoms typically subside within a few weeks, severe bruising can cause discomfort and prolong recovery. In some cases, significant swelling might indicate underlying issues such as fluid accumulation or infection, requiring further medical attention.
Pain
Pain is an expected part of recovery from any surgery, but its intensity and duration can vary. While most pain can be managed with prescribed medications, some patients may experience prolonged or severe pain, which could indicate complications such as nerve damage or infection. Chronic pain is a less common, but more serious, concern that might persist long after the typical recovery period.
Undesirable Cosmetic Outcome
An undesirable cosmetic outcome occurs when the results of the surgery do not meet the patient’s expectations, or the aesthetic goals outlined before the procedure. This could be due to asymmetry, unnatural appearance, or a failure to achieve the desired contour or shape. In some cases, additional procedures, known as revision surgeries, may be needed to correct these issues.
Nerve Damage
Nerve damage is a risk in many cosmetic procedures, especially those that involve cutting near nerves. This can lead to numbness, tingling, or even loss of sensation in the affected area. While some nerve damage may be temporary and improve over time, permanent nerve injury can result in lasting changes in sensation or function.
The information on the website is for general guidance only and cannot be used as a basis to make a surgical decision, an initial consultation with our doctor is required to help patients make an informed decision before proceeding with any surgical procedure. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek the opinion of an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
