Cosmetic Wrinkle Treatments in our Brisbane and Ipswich Clinics

Cosmetic wrinkle therapies are a range of minimally invasive medical treatments widely utilised by cosmetic clinics to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Following a thorough consultation with your clinician to discuss your concerns, preferences, budget, lifestyle and expectations, you will be prescribed a customised treatment plan. Our experienced clinicians are able to reduce lines around the eyes, forehead and brow area. They are also able to recommend options for slightly lifting the brow, accentuating the brow arch. In the mouth area, our cosmetic clinicians offer treatments to treat over-active upper lip muscles that can cause too much exposure of gums when smiling, or conversely, flip the lip upwards if it curls inwards when smiling. In the chin and jawline area, they are able to consult patients on the upward tugging effect that muscles can have on the chin as we age, and can recommend treatments to reduce over-active platysma bands that can become prominent as we age as well.

Our clinicians only recommend treatments that have a proven efficacy in mitigating the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, whether they be caused by repeated movement or expressions, skin ageing, thinning or laxity in the underlying facial structures or facial bone depletion. 

How do our treatments work?

Treatment options can include a range of products, therapies or techniques including those which reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, while preventing the formation of new lines and wrinkles. This is approached holistically, by improving skin quality, strength and function, among other aesthetic objectives. 

Treatments are performed by skilled and experienced cosmetic nurses. Our clinicians have a combined 60 years’ experience in the cosmetic industry, and they possess an advanced understanding of facial anatomy. They offer treatments that have a track record in clinical applications that extend beyond aesthetics, encompassing therapeutic applications for conditions like migraines, muscle spasms, jaw clenching and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).  Book a consultation to discuss:

CROWS FEET

Soften the appearance of lines around the eyes.

EYEBROW LIFT

FROWN LINES

The SHARP Clinic difference…

Cosmetic treatments can be accessed literally anywhere these days – from local shopping centres through to home based parties. So what makes our approach different – and how do we achieve our results? We do this by adhering to some key principles of best practice when it comes to cosmetic therapies:

R

We only use high quality products

We use quality products that have been used for many years by millions of patients. When it comes to any therapy, quality and safety matters, and it is important to know what you are putting on or in your body!

R

Patient safety comes first

Experienced clinicians, and an appropriate clinical environment, overseen by a plastic surgeon means we can deliver a well supported experience for our patients.

R

The expertise of a plastic surgeon, without the plastic surgery price tag

People often ask if having non surgical treatments at a clinic overseen by a plastic surgeon means they’ll cost more. In fact, our non invasive skin treatments are some of the most cost effective available in Brisbane and Ipswich.

R

An individual treatment approach

Your treatment plan should be as unique as you are. We don’t take a ‘on size fits all’ approach; due to the experience of our clinical team, we have the confidence to tailor your treatment to suit your individual facial anatomy and outcome.

R

We respect clinical regulations

Due to a lack of enforcement, the cosmetic industry unfortunately has operators that do not adhere to TGA and AHPRA regulations, unbeknown to their patients. Often, these clinics do not participate in the self-regulation that comes with being a member of an industry authority such as the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons or Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. We believe our patients deserve the protection afforded by these regulations and guidelines.

I want to reduce lines + upper face wrinkles

Whether fine lines around your eyes are making you look tired, or deep forehead lines give you a cranky, stressed appearance – even when you’re relaxed – our clinicians can recommend treatments that soften deep wrinkles and lines, while hydrating and strengthening. Our clinics provide treatments for lined, stressed skin – as well as a preventative action to help stop deep static facial lines from forming.

I want to replace volume + enhance my lips

Some people lose facial volume quicker than others due to genetic, environmental, lifestyle and weight loss factors. This can cause hollowing in the mid and lower face, creating jowls, deep grooves or a pursed, lined looked around the mouth – and thin or asymmetrical lips. Our clinicians can provide consultations to discuss lost facial volume and or facial imbalances. These treatments may be performed over a single visit, or multiple sessions.

I want to reduce my double chin

Genetics, ageing and weight gain can contribute to the formation of excess submental fat, and even weight loss can fail to budge it. If stubborn submental fat under the chin bothers you, consult our experienced clinicians about the treatment options available to you.

How much will it cost?

Optimal results take time and experience. We allocate adequate time during our consults to assess your face and always offer additional tweaks and adjustments to tailor the treatment to you. Your face is worth investing in quality skin treatments, clinical care, a trained aesthetic eye, a thorough consultation and optimal post-treatment support. We are a clinic for people who believe their face and body deservers the very best. We don’t believe in ‘cheap and cheerful’ when it comes to regulated medical treatments and prescriptive products. That doesn’t mean you will pay exorbitant prices – but it does mean you won’t be getting a cut-price product or service when it comes to making changes to your face. Click here to learn more.

Risks and Complications

Every procedure comes with the risk of complications, and specific risks may accompany certain procedures. The general risks of procedure may include:

Scarring

When the body goes through a healing phase after a procedure incision, scarring is a common outcome. The way scars appear and their level of severity depends on various factors, including the type of skin, genetic factors, as well as the size and location of the cut. Certain individuals might notice their scars becoming raised or enlarged, resulting in hypertrophic or keloid scars. In cases where a patient does not like the visual outcome of their scars, treatment options are available, but these should only be considered following advice from a surgeon.

Infection

Any procedure, plastic procedure included, carries the risk of infection. This occurs when harmful microbes invade the procedure site, leading to symptoms such as swelling, heightened pain, formation of pus, and wounds that don’t seem to heal. Surgeons follow rigorous cleanliness procedures to minimise this risk, but it is crucial for patients to follow all post-surgical care directions meticulously. Quick recognition of symptoms and immediate intervention with antibiotics are key in addressing and eliminating infections.

Pain

It is normal to experience pain following procedure procedures, with the intensity and length of pain differing based on the procedure method and the individual’s tolerance to pain. A certain level of discomfort is to be expected, but if the pain becomes severe or lasts for an extended period, it may be indicative of a complication and should be looked into without delay. Pain management strategies, including prescribed medications and guidelines for rest and recovery, will be provided by the surgeon.

Bleeding

Surgical procedures can sometimes result in bleeding, which can be external at the site of procedure or internal, leading to a condition known as hematoma. Signs of internal bleeding may include pain, pressure, and swelling in the area affected. It is critical to seek immediate medical help if you notice unusual bleeding or swelling after procedure.

Seroma

A seroma is an accumulation of clear lymph fluid under the skin, which can happen after procedure. This is due to the procedure disruption of lymph vessels, causing fluid to build up. Symptoms to look out for include pain, a sensation of pressure, and a noticeable swelling or clear fluid drainage at the procedure site. Generally, seromas are minor complications, but they may necessitate drainage or further treatment to ensure proper healing.

Anesthesia Complications

Although anesthesia is crucial for managing pain during procedure, it does come with its own set of risks. These risks include allergic reactions, damage during intubation, malignant hyperthermia, as well as blood pressure or respiratory problems. Continuous monitoring during the procedure allows the procedure team to detect and deal with these complications quickly.

Undesirable Cosmetic Outcome

Despite the use of tried-and-tested medical procedures and the experience of a qualified surgeon, there’s always a risk of not achieving the desired aesthetic result after plastic procedure. This could manifest as unevenness, skin puckering, or outcomes that don’t align with the patient’s expectations. It’s imperative to maintain realistic expectations and to discuss potential results during consultation sessions thoroughly. While revision procedure may be an option, it doesn’t guarantee correction of the issue.

Nerve Damage

Although it’s a rare occurrence, nerve damage is a possible complication of plastic procedure, potentially resulting from the manipulation of tissues or accidental nerve injury during the operation. Signs of nerve damage can include numbness, a tingling sensation, or a loss of feeling in the affected area. While nerve function typically restores over a period of weeks to months, there are instances where changes could be permanent. Prompt reporting of any unusual sensations after procedure is crucial.

Bruising and Swelling

Bruising and swelling are typical responses of the body to procedure intervention. While these are normal parts of the healing process, excessive or extended periods of bruising and swelling require attention. Adhering to post-surgical care instructions, such as keeping the affected area elevated, applying cold packs, and refraining from intense activities, is essential. However, should you notice prolonged swelling or deep, extensive bruising, it’s vital to get in touch for a thorough evaluation.

Death

Death is an extremely rare but real risk in any procedure. Causes could range from severe complications, adverse reactions to anesthesia, or pre-existing health conditions. Patient safety is paramount for surgeons and their teams, ensuring thorough pre-surgical screening and adherence to the latest procedure procedures and safety protocols. Being completely open about your medical history during consultations and following all given pre- and post-surgical instructions closely is of utmost importance.
