We offer Medical treatment* to soften lines in areas with repetitive muscle movement at two facilities in the Shellharbour and Illawarra regions: at Minnamurra MediSpa near Kiama Downs (Free onsite parking) and at South Coast Cosmetic, Skin & Vein Clinic on Crown St in Wollongong (free onsite parking at rear of the building). Our Registered Nurse Kathleen in collaboration with Dr Osmat Mizori provide personalised treatments to reduce wrinkles and improve the visual aspect of the skin.
These treatments may be recommended for…
- Crow’s feet and eye wrinkles
- Frown lines
- Forehead lines
This treatment will make the facial muscles relax, reducing the wrinkles that develop due to muscle contraction. They are most successful when used to prevent the formation of deep lines and creases. The aim of treatment is not to remove all movement from your face, it is to soften the movement, reducing the severity of lines and helping to prevent them from deepening. Please be assured that Kathleen has a less-is-more approach and aims for a subtle natural looking result for all of her patients.
There is unfortunately a popular very overdone cosmetic look that we see sported on TV, among celebrities, and from some clinics that offer a more-is-more approach to these treatments. Please be aware that this is a look that certain patients are trying to achieve. Kathleen is not a fan of this look, her work is very fine, subtle, and refreshing. Great care is taken to restore & maintain the natural balance and contours of your face. Kathleen is very open and honest and will guide you every step of the way.
Procedure & Results
The area of concern is treated with a type of protein that causes the relaxation of the face muscles responsible for creating lines with movement of facial muscles.*
Results are usually seen within a few days: the skin will be under less stress and look younger.
How safe is the treatment?
We use very small doses and patients have not had significant side effects.
* Respectfully the current TGA regulations prevent practitioners from identifying S4 medications or discussing the brand names of medications that are commonly used in medical grade treatments. This rule applies to advertising and websites. Please get in touch at [email protected] for professional assessment and appropriate confidential recommendations for your treatment if required.
Personalised Treatments
No two faces are the same. Kathleen will follow your progress and plan your care to ensure the best outcome. In some cases it may be advised to combine treatments with other modalities specific to restore volume or support in your skin. Kathleen prefers to use energy based devices such as Sciton BBL, Collagen induction therapies, RF micro Needling or ER:Glass laser to stimulate natural & healthy growth of your skin. It can be a better (safer, longer lasting and healthier) long term approach to use a medical grade energy based device for treatment rather than some of the more invasive commonly overused pharmaceuticals. Kathleen will advise you of your options for treatment so that you make an educated decision that fits best with your desired outcome, risk, recovery and expenditure.
