Medical Aesthetic Treatment
What Are Prescription Wrinkle Treatments?
Prescription wrinkle treatments are medical procedures that may be prescribed by an authorised prescriber following an individual medical consultation where clinically appropriate.
These treatments work by temporarily reducing the activity of selected facial muscles. They are commonly used to manage dynamic facial lines, which develop through repeated muscle movement such as frowning, squinting and raising the eyebrows.
At Angelic Cosmetic Clinic in Kogarah, NSW, every patient undergoes a comprehensive consultation with a qualified registered health practitioner. During this consultation, your medical history, treatment goals, suitability, potential benefits, risks and alternative management options are discussed before any treatment is considered.
Treatment outcomes and duration vary between individuals. Not everyone is a suitable candidate, and a prescription treatment may not be appropriate for every patient. A consultation does not guarantee treatment.
Consultation
Areas Commonly Assessed During Consultation
During your consultation, a qualified registered health practitioner will assess your facial anatomy, muscle movement, medical history and treatment goals to determine whether a prescription wrinkle treatment is clinically appropriate. Assessment is individualised for every patient. Not all treatment areas are suitable for everyone, and recommendations are made only after a comprehensive medical consultation.
Forehead
Assessment of muscle movement contributing to horizontal forehead lines.
Frown
Assessment of muscle activity between the eyebrows (glabellar region).
Around the Eyes
Assessment of muscle movement associated with dynamic lines around the outer corners of the eyes.
Eyebrow Position
Assessment of eyebrow position and muscle balance where clinically appropriate.
Nose
Assessment of muscle movement affecting the nasal region.
Upper Lip
Assessment of muscle movement affecting the upper lip during facial expression.
Around the Mouth
Assessment of muscle movement contributing to dynamic lines around the mouth.
Jaw Muscles
Assessment of the masseter muscles where clinically indicated.
Neck
Assessment of neck muscle activity where clinically appropriate.
Suitability for prescription treatment is determined during an individual medical consultation. Not all treatment areas are appropriate for every patient. A consultation does not guarantee treatment.
