Medically-backed expertise
Based on a facial assessment and areas of concern, our Medical Team of Doctors and Registered Nurses will review your treatment priorities and create a tailored treatment plan for you.
How it works
Wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process. With age, our skin gets thinner, drier and we lose elastin. The ability of our skin to protect itself is reduced as we age. Eventually, wrinkles, creases, and lines form on our skin.
Continuous muscle contraction is also another major contributor to facial wrinkles. Continuous muscle movement causes 'dynamic wrinkles' which only appear when the muscle is used.
Over time, if untreated, these wrinkles can become 'static wrinkles' which means they become permanently etched in our skin.
Whilst the face is in motion the lines that appear are known as dynamic wrinkles, however, repeated movement over time forms deeper lines and folds known as static wrinkles.
Anti-Wrinkle Injectables work to prevent the formation of static wrinkles by stopping the signal between the nerve and muscle.
The decreased movement in the muscle places less stress on the skin helping you maintain a fresh and youthful appearance. This treatment is most effective when used as a preventative measure.
Anti-Wrinkle Injectables are made from a purified protein that temporarily causes facial muscles to relax, softening lines and wrinkles and reducing the severity of visible wrinkles.
Individual results may vary. A consultation before the first treatment is required, so please notify us of any health conditions or medical history during this appointment. This information will ensure your individual needs are assessed and that appropriate guidance is given.
Results
While Cosmetic Injectables are a relatively time-friendly and convenient treatment, it can take anywhere from 2-7 days for you to see a difference, with the full effect visible after two weeks. Something to remember when you’re timing your treatment for a special event.
Side Effects
Depending on the sensitivity of your skin and any medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood thinners) you may be taking, there is the chance of temporary, minor side effects including
- Mild swelling at or around the injection site
- Mild tenderness or bruising at or around the injection site
- Tiny red dots at the injection site
- A mild headache, depending on the treatment area
Benefits of Anti Wrinkle Injections
Soften & Prevent
You don’t have to have wrinkles to know you don’t want them in your future. While their main purpose is to improve or temporarily remove existing lines, Anti-Wrinkle Injectables can be used as a preventative measure to help soften the expression lines that form when your face moves and put the formation of future lines on pause.
Look More Rested
With both age and repetitive muscle movement, lines settle into the face and are visible even at rest. It’s these static, 24/7 lines that can make your face look tired and fatigued. By softening those lines and wrinkles in the skin, your face looks fresher, more youthful, and relaxed.
Shape & Symmetry
Anti-Wrinkle Injectables can do more than just reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles; they can also be used to lift certain parts of the face and balance asymmetrical features.
Not Just For Wrinkles
Wrinkle Injectables can also be used to treat non-cosmetic areas. Some added benefits of treating targeted muscles can include a reduction in excessive sweating (in areas such as the underarms).

Brow Lift
Your brows can sometimes appear uneven or asymmetrical. Muscle relaxing anti-wrinkle injections can increase facial symmetry and in certain cases provide a brow lift.
Chin
As we age our chin muscle pulls upward forming a line between the bottom lip and chin in an arch. This muscle can be relaxed using anti-wrinkle injections taking pressure off the chin and causing the line to soften.

Crow's Feet
Also referred to as 'smile lines' or 'character lines'. These lines appear on the outside corners of the eyes.
See Before and After
Forehead Lines
Forehead lines are horizontal lines that form through the repetitive use of your eyebrows. Over time, these dynamic wrinkles form permanent lines.
See Before and After
Frown Lines
Frown lines are the vertical lines between your eyes and are also known as your ‘glabella lines’. Repeated muscle movement and contraction leads to permanent static wrinkles.
See Before and After
Jaw Re-Shaping
Facial re-shaping is a treatment used on the lower face muscle known as the ‘masseter’, or the muscle of the jaw. The masseter muscle is used for chewing and if overactive, can cause teeth grinding. This muscle can cause the appearance of a square jaw, and whilst this may be appealing to the male face, many woman are seeking a softer more feminine look. With the use of anti-wrinkle treatments we can reduce the bulk of this muscle and in turn reduce the appearance of the a square jaw, giving the face a more oval appearance. This treatment may also reduce the severity of teeth grinding.
Bunny Lines
Also known as nose lines, can appear from the constant scrunching of the nose muscle. They appear as horizontal wrinkles which form across the ridge of the nose.
See Before and After
Vertical Lip Lines
Vertical lip lines appear on the top and bottom lip. They can be defined lines that become apparent with any movement of the mouth.

Vaccines and Cosmetic Injections
For Cosmetic Injectable treatments, we advise you to wait a minimum of 7 days before or after receiving any vaccination.
If you have any concerns, we advise you to seek medical advice prior to your treatment. -
Do anti-wrinkle cosmetic injectables hurt?
Everyone experiences pain differently and has different pain thresholds. However, when it comes to Anti-Wrinkle Cosmetic Injectables, most clients compare the sensation of the face injections to a quick prick. There is a slight pinching feeling, but it only lasts for a few seconds.
At Laser Clinics Canada, Anti-Wrinkle treatments require no anaesthetic. However, a topical anaesthetic can be used if needed. Please obtain this from your Pharmacist prior to your treatment.
-
I am booked in for cosmetic injectables. Do I need to do anything beforehand?
Avoid vigorous physical activity or any large intakes of alcohol for 24 hours as this increases the risk of bruising. Aspirin and Vitamin E should not be taken one week before the treatment.
-
How many units will I need to get rid of my frown lines and crow’s feet?
To determine the correct dosage, we advise you to book a complimentary consultation with one of our experienced Cosmetic Injectors at your nearest Laser Clinics location.
-
What is Lip Flip?
As a part of your usual frown and crow's feet injections, lip flips are a few extra units that act to evert the lip. Usually, the top lip is our focus, we work with the muscle around your mouth to pop your lip a little to show a little more of the wet part of your lip.
This treatment is simple and can be added to any anti-wrinkle treatment. It lasts approx. 6-8 weeks and offers a subtle change to the lip. This is a great first step to try before deciding on our premium lip filler products. -
Can I get cosmetic injectable treatments while pregnant?
No. Your safety is our main concern and for this reason, we do not treat clients who are pregnant. We advise against all cosmetic injectable treatments whilst pregnant simply out of precaution and due to the lack of information available on cosmetic injectable treatment effects on the fetus.
-
How long do Anti-Wrinkle Cosmetic Injectables results last?
Anti-Wrinkle treatments begin to work 2-3 days after the treatment and reach their full effect within 7-14 days. The effects can typically last for up to 3-4 months depending on the individual.
-
How frequently should you have Anti-Wrinkle Cosmetic Injectables?
It is recommended to repeat the treatment before the muscle movements return to normal which is typically 3-4 months. This way there is an overlap in results and a continued softening effect.
-
What Anti-Wrinkle products do you use?
For legal reasons, we are unable to publish the brand names of prescription medicines such as Anti-Wrinkle and Dermal Fillers. At your complimentary consultation, your Cosmetic injector can freely talk about which market-leading brand is suitable for you.
