Anti-wrinkle products are made of a protein which is broken down naturally by the body. Ideally the effects of anti-wrinkle injections should last 3-4 months but it can vary depending on the strength of the muscle (the stronger the muscle the more anti-wrinkle ‘units’ you need) and how quickly your body breaks down the product.

We will give you a comprehensive patient sheet after your treatment.

The only thing that we recommend after anti-wrinkle injections is not to rub the area too much for a couple of hours after injection. We don’t want to spread the product inadvertently to areas where we don’t want it to go. Your anti-wrinkle injections are placed with precision in carefully selected areas so don’t rub it. We wouldn’t recommend having a facial on the day of having injections for the same reason.

Yes.

Yes, you can drink alcohol on the evening of injections.

Yes you can. There is no evidence to say that you can’t lie down or sleep after treatment.

On the day of treatment, after anti-wrinkle treatment, there is slight redness around the injection points but this settles after about 30 mins. When we treat the crow’s feet area you may notice tiny raised bumps for about 30 mins. This is where we have injected superficially under the skin in the crow’s feet area to reduce bruising. These little bumps are due to the small amount of fluids that we have injected and this will settle down within 30 minutes.

Please note that Australian law prevents us from using the names of anti-wrinkle and dermal filler products on the website. This is why we have to use the term ‘anti-wrinkle injections’ rather than the name of the brand. We also have to use the phrase ‘double chin injections’ rather than using the brand name.

An anti-wrinkle ‘unit’ is a measured amount of anti-wrinkle product. At Seville Medical Cosmetics we reconstitute a vial of anti-wrinkle product by adding 2.5ml of saline to 100 units.

A female face generally needs 15-25 units to the frown muscles, 5-10 units to the forehead and 6-12 units to the crow’s feet. ‘Bunny lines’ need 1-2 units each side. A neck lift can be achieved, in the right patient, using 10-20 units. Please note that these unit amounts are a guide only. You can discuss your tailored treatment with Dr Afsharipour or Dr Teoh at your appointment.

Please use these as a guide only. Also note that when we treat forehead in women we always recommend treating the frown at the same time to prevent the eyebrows from becoming heavy after treatment.

A male face typically needs approximately 50% more units than a female face but individual requirements can vary. Men tend to have stronger facial muscles which require more anti-wrinkle product to have the desired effect.

There are actually 3 anti-wrinkle brands currently on the market here in Australia. The frustration is that, by law, we are not allowed to mention brand names on websites

Dermal fillers help to replace this lost volume and thereby giving the face a more youthful appearance. Fillers last between 6-24 months depending on the dermal filler used and the amount injected but can vary from person to person.

The cost of dermal filler depends on the area treated. As a general rule you need to use thinner fillers in the lips and under the eyes and thicker fillers in the areas where you want more lift (lower face and cheeks).

At Seville Medical Cosmetics we charge from $550 – $880 for 1ml of dermal filler, depending on the filler used. At Seville Medical Cosmetics we use the premium dermal fillers available in Australia, which have TGA approval to be used for the type of the treatment we offer within our centre.
