Sunshine Coast Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are one option for addressing dynamic facial lines that develop from repeated expressions over time. At Coastal Skin & Laser, these treatments are offered following a thorough face-to-face consultation, during which your suitability, preferences and questions are discussed. All treatments are carried out in a clinical setting on the Sunshine Coast.
Cosmetic injectables in Australia are regulated under strict medical and health standards. Treatments involving prescription-only products require assessment and approval by a qualified prescriber. This process helps ensure that informed consent is obtained, risks are outlined clearly, and clients are given space to make decisions without pressure.
Personalised Anti-Wrinkle Plans for Your Face
Everyone’s skin ages differently. Muscle movement, sun exposure, hydration and genetics affect how wrinkles form. For this reason, anti-wrinkle treatment plans are developed individually, not as a standard package.
Tailored Plans to Suit Your Skin, Age & Lifestyle
- The process begins with a clinical consultation to assess your facial structure, skin condition and muscle activity.
- Your age, skin type and day-to-day habits – including time spent outdoors, skincare routines and diet – are considered.
- Treatment schedules are customised, and changes are typically made gradually.
- Follow-up appointments allow for a review of the outcomes and possible adjustments if needed.
- Education is a part of each session, helping clients understand how skin health and lifestyle can impact outcomes.
Subtle Enhancements for Natural-Looking Results
- Anti-wrinkle injections reduce the appearance of lines caused by facial expressions, such as frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead creases.
- The aim is often to achieve a refreshed appearance that aligns with the client’s goals, not to drastically alter facial features.
- Based on muscle activity and facial anatomy, the dosage and placement are determined after clinical assessment.
- Visible effects may be noticed within a few days, with most changes settling around 14 days post-treatment.
- Results vary based on individual response and are not guaranteed.

FAQs
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
They're prescription medicines administered into selected facial muscles. They may temporarily reduce movement in areas where expression lines are noticeable, such as between the brows or around the eyes.
Are these treatments safe?
All cosmetic injectables carry potential risks. Common side effects include redness, bruising or swelling at the injection site. More serious side effects are uncommon but can occur. It's essential to be assessed by a qualified healthcare practitioner before making a decision.
Who can provide anti-wrinkle injections in Queensland?
Only registered healthcare practitioners with the appropriate qualifications are permitted to prescribe and administer cosmetic injectables. This includes medical doctors, nurse practitioners and registered nurses working under supervision.
How long do the effects last?
The duration varies, but results are usually noticeable for between 3 and 4 months. Depending on their muscle activity, metabolism and other factors, some people may see shorter or longer-lasting results.
Is a consultation required before treatment?
Yes. In Australia, it is mandatory to undergo a face-to-face consultation with a prescribing practitioner before any cosmetic injectable treatment is approved or administered. This process helps ensure that informed consent and suitability are obtained.
