WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU TO OUR NEW CLINIC

Wrinkle Relaxation

BOTOX® / DYSPORT®

A subtle approach to softening expression lines while preserving the movement and character that make your face your own.

Expression is part of what makes a face look alive.

Over time, repeated contraction of the facial muscles can contribute to expression lines becoming increasingly visible - particularly around the forehead, frown and eye area. For some women, these lines can make the face appear more tired, tense or concerned than they feel.

Wrinkle relaxation uses small, carefully placed amounts of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of selected muscles. As the muscle activity relaxes, overlying expression lines soften and the skin can appear smoother and more rested.

At Longeva™, the goal is not a frozen or expressionless face.

Treatment is individually designed according to your facial anatomy, muscle strength, movement patterns, previous treatment history and personal preferences. Some women want only subtle softening and plenty of movement; others prefer greater relaxation. There is no standard formula.

After many years of aesthetic injecting, Mitch's preferred botulinum toxin product is Dysport®. Treatment is individually assessed and dosed with the aim of achieving a refined result while preserving natural movement, expression and facial character.

Results develop gradually following treatment and vary between individuals.

Initial Appointment

45 minutes · In clinic or online. $79

For clients having wrinkle relaxation with Mitch for the first time - including those who have previously received treatment elsewhere.

Your initial appointment allows additional time to understand your treatment history, assess how your face moves and discuss what you would like to achieve before deciding together on an appropriate treatment.

Every face moves differently. Muscle strength, facial anatomy, asymmetry, previous treatments and your preferred degree of movement all influence treatment planning. For this reason, there is no one-size-fits-all dose or standard injection pattern.

The aim is to create a treatment plan that feels appropriate for your face, rather than treating according to a formula.

Repeat Treatment

For existing Longeva™ clients returning for their regular wrinkle-relaxation treatment.

Your repeat appointment builds on what we already know about your facial movement, muscle strength, previous dosage and individual response. Treatment can be reviewed and refined over time depending on your results, preferences and how your face changes.

Wrinkle relaxation is never simply a matter of repeating the same number of units in the same places. Your facial movement and treatment goals are reassessed at each appointment, allowing treatment to remain individual, considered and appropriate for you.

The aim remains the same: to soften expression lines while preserving natural movement and keeping you looking refreshed and recognisably yourself.

Your appointment includes

  • Review of your previous treatment and response

  • Assessment of current facial movement and muscle activity

  • Discussion of any changes in your goals or preferences

  • Review and adjustment of treatment areas and dosage where appropriate

  • Your treatment frequency can be adjusted according to your response, goals and preferences.

Treatment Review

At Longeva™, your care continues beyond the treatment itself. Mitch recommends that all new clients return for a complimentary review approximately two weeks after their first treatment. This allows her to check that everything has settled and is working as expected, answer any questions and ensure you’re happy with your result.

You won’t necessarily require a review after every future appointment, but it is particularly recommended following your first treatment at Longeva™.
