Wrinkle Reduction

Softening expression, not erasing it.

A non-surgical treatment that may help soften the appearance of expression lines by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that create them. The goal at The Haus is a refreshed, natural result - never a frozen one.

About the treatment

Lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing. Over time, gradual changes in the skin's connective tissues - including a decline in collagen and weakening of elastin fibres - may contribute to reduced firmness and the appearance of lines, particularly in areas of repeated muscle movement.

Wrinkle reduction treatments are non-surgical procedures that may help soften the appearance of lines caused by facial expression. Commonly requested areas include the forehead, frown lines between the brows, around the eyes, around the nose, mouth, chin and neck.

Whether this treatment is appropriate for you is determined in a one-on-one medical consultation. Your practitioner will review your medical history, assess your facial anatomy and discuss your goals before recommending whether - and how - to proceed.

How it works

The mechanism, in plain language.

Wrinkle reduction treatments are designed to temporarily relax specific facial muscles that contribute to expression lines.

With less repeated folding of the overlying skin, dynamic lines may soften over time, contributing to a more refreshed appearance.

The effect is local to the area treated and gradually wears off as normal muscle activity returns.

What to expect

Session, settling, results.

Appointments are generally short, and most people return to their usual daily activities soon after. A topical anaesthetic is not usually required.

Results develop gradually, often becoming more visible within two weeks. On average, the effect may last around three months, though outcomes vary from person to person depending on factors such as skin type, age and lifestyle.

A follow-up review may be arranged to assess your response and discuss ongoing care. Ongoing maintenance is generally required for sustained results.

Risks & considerations

All cosmetic procedures carry risks.

All procedures carry risk. Outcomes vary between individuals and no treatment can be guaranteed. The list below is a guide only - full risks and side effects will be discussed in your in-person consultation.

Possible side effects include redness, swelling or bruising at the injection site, temporary tenderness or discomfort, headache, and asymmetry or uneven results.

Less common effects may include temporary heaviness in the treated area or, where the upper face is treated, partial eyelid drop that resolves as the effect wears off.

Allergic reaction and infection at the injection site are rare. This treatment is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in certain neuromuscular conditions, or where there is active skin infection at the proposed site.
