As we age, our natural collagen and elastin levels gradually decrease, often leading to skin that feels thinner, drier, and less resilient. Fine lines may begin to appear, along with dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements.
At Illume Cosmetic Clinic in Brisbane, our cosmetic wrinkle treatments are designed to soften the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. Suitable for a wide range of ages, these treatments not only address existing lines but may also help in preventing the early signs of ageing.
About Cosmetic Wrinkle Treatments
What are cosmetic wrinkle treatments designed to do?
At Illume Cosmetic Clinic in Brisbane, our cosmetic wrinkle treatments are designed to:
- These treatments help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while also working preventatively to soften expression lines caused by facial movements such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows.
- With age and repeated expressions, lines can become more visible even when the face is at rest. Cosmetic wrinkle treatments may help by reducing muscle activity and softening these static lines.
- In addition to smoothing wrinkles, treatments may be used to subtly lift targeted areas or balance facial asymmetry for a more harmonious appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Possible Risks
All cosmetic procedures carry potential risks, including cosmetic wrinkle treatments. While adverse effects are uncommon, it's important to understand the possible risks before proceeding:
Injection-Related Risks:
These may include bruising, swelling, bleeding, or haematoma at the injection site. In rare cases, there may be damage to underlying structures, which could affect appearance, sensation, or function and may require further medical attention. Although very rare, some effects may be long-lasting or permanent.
Infection:
Though infrequent, bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can occur after treatment. For injections around the mouth area, there is a potential for cold sore flare-ups (herpes simplex virus), which may require appropriate management.
Reactions:
Adverse reactions are rare but can include temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness. In extremely rare cases, a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) may occur. Delayed reactions such as the formation of nodules, lumps, or abscesses have also been reported.
What to Expect After Your Treatment
Visible improvements from cosmetic wrinkle treatments can often be noticed within a few days after your appointment, with full results typically developing over 7 to 14 days. It's important to remember that these results are temporary and will gradually wear off over time.
The longevity of results depends on several factors, including the area treated, the dosage used, and individual metabolic rate. On average, effects last between three to six months. Individuals with faster metabolisms or strong muscle activity may require more frequent treatments. However, with regular maintenance, many patients find that their results improve in longevity and they may be able to extend the time between appointments.
Recovery Time
Recovery time following cosmetic wrinkle treatments is generally minimal. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately or within a few hours, though minor redness or swelling at the injection sites may occur and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
Targeted Concerns for Cosmetic Volume Treatments
Our cosmetic wrinkle treatments may help improve the appearance of:
- Fine lines and dynamic wrinkles
- Facial asymmetry caused by muscle movement
- Expression lines such as frown lines and crow’s feet
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Neck lines and platysmal bands
