Treatment to improve appearance of wrinkles
Due to new strict TGA regulations and guidelines the advertising of cosmetic injections or treatments that contain prescription only medications can no longer contain before and after images, claims about the medicines, no testimonials, no price lists, discounts or treatment incentives, no use of words such as antiwrinkle or dermal filler. As we work within these new guidelines and comply with the standards, we understand it can be frustrating as a consumer. If you would like to make an appointment and are unsure of what to book in for, please book for a consultation with treatment and we can provided full assessment with treatment at the time of your appointment.

We use wrinkle reduction treatments to help control excessive sweating over the body including the face.
We have two kinds of sweat glands. Eccrine sweat glands are the most numerous and are found all over the body. Their primary function is to regulate temperature. When the body feels like it’s getting a little too hot, the nervous system produces acetylcholine, which in turn is the chemical trigger for eccrine glands to start producing sweat.
On the other hand, we have apocrine sweat glands. These are much fewer in number, and are concentrated in the axillary (armpits), groin area, and breast area. Instead of responding to acetylcholine, they are triggered by noradrenaline. Noradrenaline is produced when the body feels strong emotions such as distress, fear, pain, and sexual stimulation. The sweat they produce is more viscous, and has a tendency to smell when in contact with bacteria.
Wrinkle reduction treatment has been used as a treatment for hyperhidrosis for over 25 years. Its safety and efficacy have long been established through numerous studies. Patients have consistently reported a significant decrease in sweat production and an increase in quality of life within 2 weeks of treatment.
