Are you starting to look grumpy or stressed even though you’re not? Your frown lines are getting deeper even when you’re feeling relaxed?
This is an issue many of our patients’ experience, which is why anti-wrinkle injections to the frown lines are one of the most popular treatments in our Adelaide clinic. Our experienced Doctors and Cosmetic Injector Nurses use anti-wrinkle injections to soften and rejuvenate your face.
By relaxing the overactive muscle in your frown, we can help you achieve a softer look and prevent future wrinkles from appearing.
