We start with a consultation to assess your face, lips, neck, muscles, skin and wrinkles, and discuss your treatment options. You’ll then carefully read over your personalised treatment package with all fees outlined.
Pre-op photography is taken (to see your transformation!) and the treatment area is cleansed and prepped. Cutting-edge needle technology is used to make gentle injections with very minimal discomfort.
See changes within a few days and full results in up to 2 weeks — you’ll also visit us for a complimentary follow-up 2 weeks after your treatment so we can check in on your gorgeous new look.
A: At Illumident, we only use premium medical-grade, TGA-listed pharmaceuticals in our anti-wrinkle treatment. This is a simple, non-surgical procedure where the pharmaceutical is safely and gently injected into specific muscles in small therapeutic quantities.
Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the facial or neck muscles and reducing the movement of the skin above the muscle. In turn, this helps to reduce the formation and appearance of wrinkles. With less muscle contraction, the skin appears much smoother and more youthful.
At Illumident, our anti-wrinkle injection appointments take approximately 30 to 60 minutes. You will also need a 20 minute consultation prior to your treatment, which you can do on a separate day or combine in the one appointment.
A: Anti-wrinkle injections begin to work 2 to 3 days after treatment and reach their full effect within 14 days. Keep in mind that the effect of anti-wrinkle injections will wear off over time and results will typically last from 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual. This is why repeat treatments are required to maintain your desired results.
A: Yes, anti-wrinkle injections are among the safest cosmetic procedures available when administered by a qualified and experienced cosmetic injector or medical professional.
At Illumident, you can rest assured that you’re receiving the best in aesthetic care — Dr Isabel is a dentist and highly trained cosmetic injector. Plus, we only ever use the highest quality medical-grade pharmaceuticals, scientifically researched treatments and the latest techniques.
A: Most of our patients find our anti-wrinkle injections to be relatively painless. Generally, it is a minimally invasive procedure with very little discomfort. You may only feel slight pressure with each injection.
However, if you’re feeling a little nervous or would like some extra comfort, we can apply a topical anaesthetic 15 minutes before treatment to help numb the area. This means you’ll barely feel a thing!
A: As with all medical procedures, there are some side effects that come with anti-wrinkle injections. All of the potential side effects will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation. However, please see the below as a general guide.
After your treatment, it’s possible to experience:
In most cases, these typical side effects of anti-wrinkle injectables are mild and short-lived.

A: Anti-wrinkle injections are used to relax the muscles in the face and neck, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are used to restore volume, structure and hydration in the skin, while also smoothing out wrinkles.

After your treatment, we will talk you through your post-op instructions and answer any questions you may have about aftercare. Generally, you can resume most of your regular activities immediately after treatment. You can also apply makeup to the area straight afterwards if you wish. However, please avoid touching the treated area for at least a few hours.
You’ll also attend a complimentary follow-up appointment 2 weeks after your treatment so we can assess your results and discuss if touch-up treatment is needed (fees will apply for any further treatment).
