Facial Wrinkles Explained
Here at Next Aesthetics we provide treatments to reduce the appearance of fine lines on the face. Over time repetitive muscle movement, loss of collagen, sun exposure and external environmental factors can cause an increased appearance of lines. Our holistic range of treatments like Rejuran, Exosomes, PRP and Facial Threads can help promote collagen and elastin production, repair the function of the lipid skin barrier and even help protect skin from the effects of dynamic muscle movement on the face. Leaving you looking and feeling refreshed.
Benefits Of reducing the appearance of fine lines
Prevent visible signs of ageing
As we age, we start to notice visible signs of ageing. This includes static lines which are present without dynamic movement. Repetitive muscle movement can cause weakening and loss in skin integrity causing lines. However, you can prevent these early signs of ageing with a holistic approach to treatment that focuses on skin hydration and repair. Treatments can be tailored to focus on any expression lines around your face.
Your Face Glows
Due to the ageing process, decreased cell turnover and frequent muscle movement around the face, you may develop lines and a dull complexion. This is further amplified as the skin’s lipid moisture barrier starts to wear, meaning it becomes harder for skin to retain moisture and stay hydrated. Treatments can help your skin look fresher with a seemingly natural glow.
Excessive sweating
Excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis) can be challenging as the direct cause is unknown. Most people experience excessive underarm sweating, however, it can also occur on palms and feet. For some people this can be a debilitating issue and can effect confidence and self esteem. Consider visiting our clinic at Norwest to discuss concerns with your Hyperhidrosis.
Jawline Widening
There are many factors that cause a wide jaw line. This can be heredity as well as repetitive muscle movement through the jaw causing muscle bulking. The masseter muscle which is primarily used for chewing can significantly enlarge over time, which then alters facial balancing. It can make the lower facial third appear larger than the mid face and upper third. Consultations are available at our Norwest location where we can discuss how to best manage the masseter size.
Decrease Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain
TMJ pain or Jaw pain is exacerbated by increasing chewing, stress, teeth grinding and clenching. The treatment approach varies from person to person and depends on the severity of the issue. Treatment is performed by an advanced registered nurse and is available at Next aesthetics in Norwest. Please note that a consultation is required prior to treatment to determine the most suitable management options for this concern.

Arnica tablets and hirudoid cream can help reduce bruising. Some patients can expect to see results in two weeks. For concerns like muscle movement, treatment can be adjusted at your two weeks follow up at an additional cost.
Who is this treatment NOT suitable for?
Unfortunately, many anti-aging treatments are not suitable if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Please contact Nurse Kerziah to discuss treatment options. If you are under the age of 18 years old (even if you have parental consent). If you are currently on antibiotics or have an active infection.
What product do you use?
Due to the regulations in Australia, some treatments can only be discussed during consultations. Here at Next aesthetics, we only use the best products in Australia from trusted brands like Rejuran.
How much does treatment cost?
The cost of the treatment will vary. This will depend on the area being treated, the type of treatment in this area, the aesthetic goal of the patient and the recommended dose by the Registered Nurse.
How often do I need to have treatment?
This will depend on the treatment area. Repeat treatment should occur anywhere from 6- 16 weeks.
Why didn’t my treatment last?
The practice of medicine is not an exact science and no guarantee can be or have been made concerning expected results. Unfortunately the aging process does not occur at an even rate. For example, the forehead may not experience as much muscle movement and slowed cellular turnover when compared to other treatment areas. This means that the treatment could last between 6-8 weeks. Essentially the type of anti-aging treatment and the dose required will depend on the strength of your facial muscles, skin hydration and aesthetic goal. If you are a new patient, Registered Nurse Kerziah focuses on a conservative amount of treatment in the area of concern and if more is needed then this can be done at your two-week review at an additional cost. Please be patient while the correct treatment and frequency is being established for you.
If you are a new patient who has been seen at another location and you have had a break in between treatments, you may find that the dose you were having previously may need to increase as the ageing process and lifestyle factors continue to impact the skin. This is not to say that your face will be worse than when you started your treatment but understand that it continues to age.
