The masseter muscle is a powerful muscle that forms part of our jawline and is essential for chewing. Enlargement of the masseter muscle is the result of continuous jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism). Many patients who grind their teeth experience headaches, earaches, face pain, fractured teeth, and pain in the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ).
By injecting this muscle with anti-wrinkle, not only does this achieve a slimming look in this area, but also reduces jaw clenching by relaxing the muscle.

Anti-wrinkle injections work to gradually decrease the frequency and severity of migraine headaches, and for many people it’s an effective treatment that improves their quality of life. Anti-wrinkle injections help relieve migraines by reducing the level of pain signals sent to the brain. The treatment involves a series of several small injections targeting the relevant muscles in your face, head and neck once every three months.

Anti-wrinkle injections are the go-to treatment at any modern cosmetic clinic. Here are some of the many reasons why anti-wrinkle injections have been chosen by millions of people worldwide:
Botulinum toxin (BoNT) is a neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and was first recognised by Justinus Kerner back in 1817 when he wrote an account of its effect on food. His notes on foodborne botulism correctly described the paralysis of skeletal muscles and other nerve functions such as sweating. Later in 1895, Clostridium botulinum was discovered in Belgium after an investigation by Evan Ermengem. Some 75 years later, the process of using it to commercial produce the toxin in controlled amounts lead to its use today in cosmetic medicine as the key ingredient for the best anti-wrinkle injections.
Without much scientific detail, botulinum toxin works by interrupting the brain messaging to the muscles. Various substances send signals to muscles asking them to contract, e.g. when we smile. The toxin works at a molecular level by blocking these chemical signals, causing them to stay relaxed. Anti-wrinkle injections can slow down the process of facial ageing. It is important to note that it only works on muscles and does not enter your bloodstream, so this treatment has no anti-ageing benefits for the rest of your body as you cannot absorb the toxin through oral ingestion or injection.
You can inject a toxin into almost anywhere! The most common places are where your muscles are overactive, which is what causes wrinkles. Think of your skin as a sheet of paper. Each day you can scrunch it up into a ball and then unfold it. Over time the unfolding becomes less effective, and the creases tend to remain despite trying. This analogy can be applied to your facial skin, too. Anti-wrinkle injections help stop that process. Common target areas for our anti-wrinkle injections in Shellharbour include frown lines (crows feet), forehead furrowing and laughter lines on the cheeks.
Just about anyone can benefit from anti-wrinkle injections. There are also many medical uses. For example, in movement disorders such as muscle spasticity conditions like cerebral palsy and pain management in neck pain, migraines or jaw clenching. Hyperhidrosis is a condition of excessive sweating that responds well to toxin injections.
Stephanie Quinn, a south coast physiotherapist and spinal hardware specialist, recently explained to Secret Skin its use in women’s health issues, such as treating dyspareunia caused by vaginismus — an involuntary tensing of the vagina. For cosmetic uses, you need to be over 18, not pregnant and/or breastfeeding or have any specific conditions that might interact with the treatment.
It is not unusual to have an anti-wrinkle injection every three months as the toxin will wear off and become less effective over time. Some patients only have a treatment once a year, and some have it every few months. For some, the frequency of their treatments depends on price, while for others, it may depend on time or personal preference. We understand that everyone is different, and we will work with you individually to set a schedule for anti-wrinkle injections that suits you.

The best anti-wrinkle injections in Shellharbour will offer results that last for around 3 to 6 months. As the body naturally breaks down the toxin in the injections, the effects will slowly fade, but it is up to you how often you choose to have anti-wrinkle injections.
Though most anti-wrinkle injectables use the same active ingredient, some have proven to be more effective than others. Our anti-wrinkle injections in Shellharbour are some of the best that our team has come across for fending off the effects and turning back time on ageing skin.
Anti-wrinkle injectables are possible for people of all ages as they are not only used to treat the effects of ageing. There are various medical conditions where anti-wrinkle injections can help lessen the effects and reduce pain, so the ages for those seeking anti-wrinkle injections in Shellharbour and around Australia can vary widely. If you desire anti-wrinkle injections for cosmetic purposes, you must be over the age of 18.
If you choose to cease having anti-wrinkle injections, the effects will eventually wear off. Your skin will return to its previous form with no damage done in the process. Whether you have repetitive anti-wrinkle injections in Shellharbour or want to try it once to see the effects, there will be no permanent damage to your skin.
With years of medical research behind these injections and Australian law dictating that licensed doctors and physicians can only administer them, there are minimal threats posed by anti-wrinkle injections. As with any medical procedure, there is always a degree of risk. But your doctor will discuss this with you during your initial consultation to ensure you are aware of any potential downsides associated with the non-invasive, non-surgical treatment.
