Are you someone who loves to smile, laugh and enjoy time with your friends? But do you notice more and more wrinkles appearing around your eyes as a result? Don’t get us wrong, we’re happy to see you happy. But we understand many of you would prefer to not have your happiness impact the number of wrinkles you have.
Wrinkles in the crow’s feet area (outer edge of eyes) are usually caused by laughing, squinting and other intense facial expressions. Our skilled doctors and Cosmetic Nurses use anti-wrinkle injections to relax the muscles in this area to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases, and help you achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Cocoon Spa and Medical Aesthetics Adelaide offer premium anti-wrinkle injections to help you achieve smoother skin and a softer, more rejuvenated facial aesthetic.
