Wrinkle Treatment
Following the new guidelines from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), Cityskin can no longer mention terms like “anti-wrinkle injections” and “dermal fillers”. This will include mentions to prescription medicines (products) used for treatment of wrinkles or concerns about the shape or volume of facial features.
Instead, here is how we can communicate:
Our expert practitioners can provide consultations about:
- Reducing the appearance of wrinkles
- Increasing the appearance of lip volume
- Improving the skin texture and tone
We’re making these changes for your wellbeing and offering free expert consultations with our practitioners so you can make an informed decision. For more information on the treatments available at our clinic, feel free to reach out to us at 1800 248 975 or book a consultation with one of our Doctors or Cosmetic Nurses.

All About Wrinkle Treatments at Cityskin
Please note that, by law, we are not allowed to use the real or brand names of this treatment. Instead, we refer to ‘wrinkle treatments’ and encourage you to book a free 30 minute consultation in which we can freely discuss your options with you. This is done with the best interests of our patients in mind, in line with our legal obligations as a cosmetic treatment provider.
FAQs
Wrinkle treatments address concerns that you may have regarding lines and wrinkles. The best way to get more information about wrinkle treatments is to book a consultation with a Cityskin clinician. During this consultation your treatment specialist will be able to freely discuss the treatment itself and answer all of your questions about how it works.
Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet, also known as periorbital lines, are wrinkles that develop around the eyes due to repeated muscle contractions. In Australia, where exposure to strong UV light is common, these lines are common as we age. Managing crow’s feet helps maintain a youthful appearance.
To find out more about crow’s feet, read our comprehensive guide here.
Frown (Brow) Lines
Frown lines or the ’11’ mark are the lines in between the eyebrows. It is normal to have these lines when frowning, but some people have these lines when at rest. If you have strong frown lines at rest, you may feel that you look angry. With a consultation for wrinkle in Melbourne, you can learn more about frown lines and potential solutions. Read our full guide to frown lines here.
Forehead Lines
Forehead lines are common as we age. These lines are caused by using the forehead muscle ‘frontalis.’ If you look in the mirror and lift the eyebrows, you can see frontalis in action, lifting the eyebrows.
Suggested reading: Read our full guide to forehead lines here.
Upper Lip/Smokers Lines
Lines around the upper lips usually start to appear when a patient is over 40. As the skin loses elasticity, muscle tone and collagen small lines can start to appear around the lips. Smoking can rapidly accelerate the formation of these lines due to repeat pursing of the lips when smoking a cigarette.
To learn more about upper lip/smokers lines, schedule a consultation with a Cityskin cosmetic clinician who will be able to answer all your questions.
Facial Slimming and Tooth Grinding (Bruxism)
These concerns are some of the most common that we find in patients. Have a read of our facial slimming and bruxism (tooth grinding) guides, and book a consultation with an experienced treatment specialist to learn more.
It takes between 5 and 12 days for a wrinkle treatment to take effect. The results are not instant, with the peak effect of this treatment being at around 2-3 weeks. If you would like to discuss the specifics of wrinkle treatments, book a free consultation with a Cityskin clinician.
Ideally, the effects of the treatment should last 3-4 months but it can vary depending on the strength of the muscle.
Wrinkle treatments address lines and wrinkles, while volume enhancement treatments replace lost volume. The volume enhancement treatment is made of a gelatinous product which is designed to replace lost volume; it can ‘plump’ up the skin. Imagine the skin being like a circus tent with poles to hold it up and keep it taut. As we age, the canopy of the tent becomes looser, and we lose volume which allows the skin to become saggier. When we provide volume enhancement treatment it is like putting extra poles up to lift the canopy of the tent up to make it taut again. The other way of looking at this treatment is that it treats shadows on face. As we age, we lose collagen and volume, and this can cause shadows going down from the corner of the mouth.
