]]>While many of us fear anti-wrinkle treatments, The Harley Clinic has multiple tips and tricks that allow you to control the process.
How are wrinkles formed?
Young youthful skin is full of collagen that keeps your skin plump and elastic. As we age, the structure of the collagen weakens and becomes less elastic.
Additionally, sun damage as well as all the smiling, laughing, squinting and frowning we do places greater stress on the production of collagen, thus producing fine lines and wrinkles.
What are the best ways to prevent the ageing process?
There are multiple things that we should be doing to protect and prevent our skin from damage and it all begins with a healthy skin routine.
At The Harley Clinic we recommend that you remove any make-up before going to bed. It is important that you cleanse morning and night, and apply a moisturiser suitable for your skin type as well as using an SPF30+ sunscreen daily.
Additionally, applying anti-ageing serums (rich in vitamins such as vitamin A, B and C) and using face masks regularly will leave your skin feeling supple and glowing.
What treatments are available and how long do they last?
If you find that you have been using these preventative methods for years and you are ready to take the next step, The Harley Clinic can guide you with a free skin consultation. Our highly trained clinicians will complete a thorough review of your current skin regime and build a targeted treatment plan to ensure you start seeing improvements in skin texture, tone and health.
Non-surgical skin tightening
A non-surgical face-lift is a procedure that aims to restore your skin’s texture and facial definition, making you appear more youthful. The Harley Clinic uses only the latest technology – including Ultraformer III.
Ultraformer targets your skin at four different depths, thereby assisting in the stimulation of collagen while tightening your facial muscles.
We suggest this treatment be repeated after three months. This will extend the life of the results. After these initial treatments we recommend a 12-monthly review and possible re-treatment to ensure the constant stimulation of collagen.
Anti-wrinkle treatments
An anti-wrinkle treatment at The Harley Clinic involves a thorough evaluation of your skin and personal goals. Our medical team has years of experience and training, ensuring that you not only receive the best outcomes, but your safety is paramount. We only use premium products that are approved for use in Australia.
Anti-wrinkle treatments generally last between 3 to 4 months. To ensure you maintain a more youthful appearance we recommend you book in for treatment at these intervals.
Dermal filler treatments
Rather than smoothening and tightening the skin, dermal fillers are designed to restore volume loss that occurs as we age. Dermal filler can be used in many areas of the face and can subtly rejuvenate your midface, lips and jawline.
At The Harley Clinic, we only use premium dermal filler and all of our cosmetic injectors have years of experience injecting these products. Again, safety and outcomes are of paramount importance when it comes to these treatments.
Typically, fillers last between 6 to 12 months.
Next steps
At The Harley Clinic we tailor your treatment journey to provide you with the results that you desire. Most importantly we want you to feel happy and confident in your own skin. Our experienced medical team will undertake a comprehensive consultation with you to discuss your desired outcome prior to making any suggestions or commencing any treatment.

The solution lies in anti-wrinkle injections, which work by injecting a muscle relaxing agent into these active facial muscles. By relaxing the muscle beneath the skin, these injections work to smooth out the outer skin layer, thereby reducing the appearance of lines. A lot of people can be led into a few common myths about anti-wrinkle injections, but at the Harley Clinic, we love to educate our customers about what the treatment is and how it can benefit them.
Anti-wrinkle injections can be easily mistaken for dermal fillers. However, these are two separate things. Dermal fillers are injected into specific depths within the dermal layer of the skin, unlike anti-wrinkle injections which are meant for the muscles. Additionally, there effects of anti-wrinkle injections are not permanent, but can still help in preventing ageing as wrinkles are not able to form or become deeper since the muscle activity around the injected area becomes controlled.
Anti-Wrinkle injections carry a range of benefits. Firstly, they are extremely effective when it comes to reducing wrinkles and fine lines and wrinkles. By relaxing the facial muscle, anti-wrinkle injections prove to be an effective anti-ageing measure, and prevent future lines from deepening as well.
They also give you a much clearer look by softening expression lines, leading to natural-looking reduction in things such as smile lines and crow’s feet. Most importantly, anti-wrinkle injections are instrumental in restoring facial balance.
However, realizing these benefits requires the administering of anti-wrinkle injections to be done by trained professionals. At the Harley Clinic, our patients enjoy the combined experience of qualified Cosmetic Doctors as well as Nurse Injectors. We understand that when it comes to restoring facial balance and getting rid of wrinkles, everyone is different and requires a fully tailored treatment experience.
We make an effort to understand your facial structure and anatomy, and then deliver a treatment experience that is customized to help you get the most out of your investment. For best results, we recommend anti-wrinkle injections around the eyes, creased forehead, lowering brows and eyelids areas.
The injections we use are approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and our staff is fully qualified and experienced. Click here to get in touch and book a free consultation now!
