CONSULTATIONS FOR FINE LINES AND WRINKLES
At The Beauty Nurse, we provide personalised medical consultations to discuss concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles. During your consultation, our Registered Nurses will complete a thorough health assessment, review your goals, and discuss whether certain treatment options may be suitable for you. We focus on holistic treatment planning that considers both your skin health and overall wellbeing. All procedures involve risks, and outcomes vary between individuals. No treatment can be provided without a prescription and clinical authorisation following this consultation, and there is no obligation to proceed with treatment afterwards.
FAQ
WHAT ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS?
Anti-wrinkle injections are prescription-only medicines designed to temporarily relax specific facial muscles. This may assist in softening the appearance of lines caused by repeated facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. These treatments are non-surgical and must only be provided following a thorough medical consultation and prescription.
WHY IS A CONSULTATION IMPORTANT?
A consultation is essential to determine if this treatment is appropriate and safe for you. At The Beauty Nurse, all anti-wrinkle treatments are prescribed and authorised on-site by Nurse Practitioner Cassandra, ensuring clinical oversight, patient safety, and an approach tailored to your individual needs and medical history. This process allows time to discuss your goals, assess suitability, review potential risks, and provide clear information before you decide to proceed.
ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS SAFE?
When performed by a trained health professional, anti-wrinkle injections are generally considered low risk, however all medical procedures carry potential side effects. These may include localised bruising, swelling, headache, or temporary changes in muscle activity. Rare but more serious complications can occur. Your practitioner will discuss these in detail so you can make an informed decision.
WHICH AREAS CAN BE TREATED?
The most common treatment areas include frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. In some cases, treatment may also be considered for other concerns such as jaw clenching or excessive sweating, if clinically appropriate. Suitability is always assessed on an individual basis during your consultation.
WHEN WILL I NOTICE RESULTS?
Results vary between individuals. Some people notice changes within several days, with the full effect usually visible at around two weeks.
HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST?
The effect is temporary. Most people find results last approximately three to four months, although this differs between individuals. Ongoing treatments are required to maintain outcomes.
WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE INVOLVE?
Treatment involves a medical assessment, discussion of your goals, informed consent, and a series of small injections delivered with a fine needle into targeted muscles. The injection process is relatively quick, while the overall appointment allows adequate time for assessment, planning, and aftercare advice.
AM I SUITABLE FOR TREATMENT?
Suitability depends on your health, expectations, and assessment findings. Anti-wrinkle injections are not appropriate for everyone, and alternative options may sometimes be more suitable. Individuals under 18 years of age, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with certain medical conditions are not eligible for treatment.
