Anti-wrinkle Injections & Dermal Fillers

The most evident form of skin ageing is the presence of wrinkles on the face. Wrinkles are hard to miss and can impact your facial appearance. At Bioscor, we recommend dermal fillers and injections to minimise wrinkles, reverse the effect of aging, and bring a healthy glow to your skin.

We have years of clinical practice in administering anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers to patients across Melbourne. With the right treatment, we can help smoothen your skin and address varying skin conditions with minimal downtime. Wrinkles form for three reasons: years of dynamic facial movements, static forces such as gravity and chronological aging. Bioscor uses a variety of anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers that aim towards making you look younger and more refreshed. All procedures are fast, effective and easy.

What are the Differences Between Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers?

To understand which treatment you need, it would be helpful to understand how wrinkles are formed and learn about the two main types of facial wrinkles: dynamic and static.

  • Dynamic wrinkles form as a result of muscle motion — including the way we express ourselves — as well as from habitual movement, as is the case of vertical lip lines in smokers and crow’s feet in tennis players who often squint in the sun. Anti-wrinkle injections are effective for dynamic wrinkles. These muscle-relaxants are effective for wrinkles between the eyes, crow’s feet, and forehead. By relaxing tiny facial muscles that cause expression lines, anti-wrinkles can leave the overlying skin smooth and crease-free.
  • Static wrinkles are caused by gravity, the loss of fat and collagen, and the loss of the skin’s elasticity. Eventually, dynamic wrinkles become static wrinkles. Dermal fillers can be effective for static wrinkles to replace lost volume and re-plump the tissue. Generally, two types of fillers are used: a deeper injection of thicker filler which serves to replace lost volume such as in the cheekbone area, and a thinner filler which is used to fill in finer lines around the mouth area.

What You Need to Know About Lip and Dermal Fillers

Wrinkles form for three reasons: years of dynamic facial movements, static forces such as gravity, and chronological aging. At Bioscor, we use a variety of anti-wrinkle injections, lip fillers, and dermal fillers that make you look younger and refreshed. All procedures are fast, effective, and easy. We may even be able to perform both anti-wrinkles and dermal fillers on the same day if we have at least two areas of the face to treat (i.e. anti-wrinkles around the eyes and lip fillers)

Anti-wrinkles are typically used around the forehead, eyes, nose and the lower face such as the massetters (muscles used to chew) and chin to soften and relax the amount of facial expressions.

Dermal fillers can be used to treat a wider range of areas on a face. When used on the lips, it’s called “lip filler”, however, they are much more versatile and can be used the following areas on the face:

To give you an idea of how anti-wrinkles and dermal fillers can be used to give you a softer, fresher look, take a look at a case study on Cassandra. Here, both anti-wrinkles and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are strategically used to achieve the final effect.

The overall effect is a subtle rejuvenated look. The lines are softer, cheeks are fuller; creating a more youthful and refreshed-looking version of herself.*

FAQs

How long do the Effects of Dermal Fillers Last?

Dermal fillers usually last for three to six months but may last longer depending on how well your body metabolises the product. However, the duration may differ for lip fillers since lips are highly sensitive and active.

You can expect the results to show in a span of three days. You’ll start to notice a bit of softening along the frown lines. In less than seven days, you will be able to witness a dramatic difference. The injected area will further show signs of improvement as time goes by.

Some of the common post-treatment effects of dermal fillers that appear within twenty-four hours or immediately are bruising, swelling, and tenderness.

The patient is likely to feel a stinging sensation near the treatment area. Some might experience pressure depending on the part being injected. However, it is generally well-tolerated with the techniques we employ to minimise pain.

Lips are extremely sensitive so patients usually see the effect of fillers right away. But there might also be some amount of swelling or bruising which needs to be taken care of.
