Anti Wrinkle Treatment in Cairns

Wrinkles develop as we age due to the breakdown of supporting structures such as collagen and elastin fibres.

Also sun exposure, smoking, and even facial expressions contribute to the formation of wrinkles.

The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines) and beside the eyes (crow's feet) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. If you're angry or annoyed, for example, you knit your brows together. Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, cause a pleating of the overlying skin, and then, as anyone can see, you're frowning.

After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men's, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent.

Fortunately, there are many ways to effectively reduce these lines and other wrinkles. Treatment with anti-wrinkle injections* can visibly smooth and soften mild to severe frown and smile lines. An improvement can be seen within days and may last up to 6 months, although results may vary.

If you have been considering anti-wrinkle injections, schedule a consultation with Dr Ling. We can then determine together whether you are a good candidate and discuss all possible outcomes with you.
