    Gently raises the eyebrows to create a more open and youthful expression.

    Enhances the upper lip’s appearance by relaxing muscles to subtly roll the lip outward for a fuller look.

  • Nasal Flaring

    Minimises excessive nostril flaring by relaxing nasal muscles for a refined look.

  • Gummy Smile

    Relaxes the muscles responsible for excessive upper lip elevation, reducing the appearance of a “gummy” smile.

  • Nefertiti Neck Lift

    A rejuvenating treatment targeting the platysma bands and jawline to lift and define the lower face and neck. It smooths sagging skin and enhances jawline contour for a more youthful, sculpted appearance.

  • Trapezium Muscle Reduction

    A treatment to slim and soften the shoulder line, often creating a longer, more elegant neck silhouette. It can also help relieve tension and discomfort in the upper back and shoulders.

Anti-Wrinkle Injection Medical Treatment Options

  • Hyperhidrosis

    (Excessive Sweating)

    When injected into areas such as the underarms, palms, soles, or forehead, this treatment temporarily blocks the nerves that activate sweat glands. The treatment significantly reduces sweating for 4–9 months, improving comfort, confidence, and quality of life. It’s a safe, quick procedure with minimal downtime.

  • Bruxism

    (Teeth Grinding & Jaw Clenching)

    This treatment offers a non-invasive solution for bruxism by relaxing the masseter muscles. By softening these muscles, it can relieve jaw tension, reduce headaches, and prevent further dental wear. Relief typically lasts 3–6 months, and it’s particularly beneficial for those who haven’t responded to night guards or other traditional therapies.

  • Migraines

    A proven treatment for chronic migraines. Small doses are injected into specific muscle groups across the forehead, temples, scalp, and neck. The treatment works by blocking pain-transmitting chemicals and relaxing tension-prone muscles, reducing the frequency, severity, and duration of migraines. Most patients experience improvement within 4 weeks, with effects lasting around 3 months. Regular treatments can significantly improve day-to-day function and reduce reliance on pain medication.
