Why don’t my anti-wrinkle treatments last?
Australians are said to spend an estimated $350 million on anti-wrinkle injections annually. In the hands of a Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse, wrinkle-reduction treatments are an undetectable and relatively painless way to turn back years off an ageing face. How do anti-wrinkle treatments work? Anti-wrinkle medications work by freezing and relaxing the muscles, preventing them from contracting and forming new wrinkles and softening lines and wrinkles that have already appeared before treatment. What are anti-wrinkle treatments made of? Anti-wrinkle injections are composed of a natural purified protein, called Botulinum Toxin, that relaxes wrinkle-causing muscles creating a smoother, rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. The muscle relaxant inhibits the communication between the nerves and the muscles, disabling them from contracting and forming wrinkles. How will my Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse know what wrinkle-reduction medication is right for me? In Australia, there are three brands of botulinum toxin. Two have the active part of the neurotoxin but also have an associated complex protein that is not involved in the function of the botulinum toxin itself. These brands with active neurotoxin and complex proteins are a risk factor for developing immunity. They can often trigger the immune system, leading to antibodies to the complexing protein and the active neurotoxin. If this happens, it renders the anti-wrinkle treatment ineffective. The third brand of botulinum toxin is purified and doesn’t contain the complexing proteins. Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurses are trained to use all the TGA approved anti-wrinkle products. Your Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse will choose the most appropriate medication to meet your needs based on your age, medical history, and desired aesthetic result. How many units of medication will I need? The number of units of medication required varies depending upon what part of the face is being treated, how strong your muscles are, and your age. Your Cosmetic Nurse will conduct a full-face consultation with you before administering your treatment to map out a treatment plan that will meet your aesthetic goals. How long do wrinkle-reduction treatments last? In most people, the body will break down the protein within four to two to four months, which is why your Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse will want to book you in for follow-up treatments to keep your results up. My anti-wrinkle treatment results don’t last that long. There is a minority group of people for whom it may seem as if anti-wrinkle treatments don’t last that long. The lack of results can occur for both first-time users and regular users of this cosmetic treatment. It can be frustrating not knowing why and wondering whether the product was used in the correct dosage or whether the practitioner administered the product correctly. It turns out, however, that our bodies might be to blame. Immunity to anti-wrinkle injections means our bodies recognise the injection product as a foreign substance and produce antibodies to fight it, thus reducing the effectiveness of the treatment. The lack of response is because the active ingredient in anti-wrinkle medicines is a type of protein, a paralysing neurotoxin. However, when introduced into our muscles, our bodies can identify it and induce an immune response. What can a Cosmetic Nurse do to get longer results for me? Fortunately, your Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse can help achieve your aesthetic goals by switching up the medication used, administering smaller doses of the anti-wrinkle, having more frequent treatments, or changing where and how the medication is administered. That is why it’s essential that when you choose a Cosmetic Nurse, you stay consistent with your treatment journey, so they can make small changes that will help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

How Many Mls of Lip Filler Do I Need?
Lip filler treatment is one of the most popular cosmetic injectable procedures. It delivers instant and lasting results and can be used on lips and around the mouth to increase volume and hydrate the lips giving a more youthful appearance. During your consultation, your Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse will look at your lip shape, ask you about your treatment goals, and about any past treatments you may have had to work out a bespoke treatment plan for you. How much lip filler will I need? It varies on a case-by-case basis. That’s why your Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse will want to consult with you to analyse your anatomy, understand the look you want to achieve, and work out the best treatment plan. Sometimes you may need more than one treatment to reach your goal. At Juv’ae, we recommend starting small and building your look if you want more statement results. We typically advise our clients to have around 1ml in their first lip injection session and building on that with 1ml every six months. What are the advantages of lip filler? Lip fillers help create volume and symmetry. They are easy to apply for people with thin lips or whose lips are uneven. Lip fillers can be used subtly or built up over time to create a more voluminous look. What can I expect during the treatment? It’s very straightforward! After your consultation, your Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse will book you in for your treatment. During your treatment, you will have a Telehealth consultation with a member of our Juv’ae Medical Team, who will go through the Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse’s treatment plan. You will collectively agree on the medication and amount of product required to meet your aesthetic goals. After your treatment, your nurse will advise you on the appropriate aftercare giving you the steps you should follow to get the best results. How long do results last? Results vary from person to person depending on whether you are a smoker, sunlight exposure and how much movement there is of the treated area. However, in most situations, you can expect your lip filler to last 6 -12 months. How much does lip filler treatment cost? Depending on the product used and the amount will vary the cost. Your Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse will provide you with a quote and gain your financial consent before proceeding with treatment. What are lip fillers made of? Many types of dermal fillers can be injected into your lips and around your mouth. Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurses only use dermal filler medications containing Hyaluronic Acid and are approved by the TGA. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. Are there any risks to having lip fillers? There are some risks to having lip filler that your Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse will discuss during your consultation. Side effects of hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary and should only last a few days. They may include: Bleeding from the injection sites Swelling and bruising Redness and tenderness at the site of the injection Reactivation of cold sores of the lips or area surrounding the lips Call your Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse immediately if you experience any side effects. What if I don’t like the result? Luckily, lip fillers can be dissolved if you aren’t happy with the result. The initial swelling that you experience will go down. However, we do advise you have a follow-up appointment with your Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurses two weeks after your appointment. Why do Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurses stand out?

Man-ly Cosmetic Treatments for Men
Cosmetic injectable procedures for men are growing in popularity thanks to modern techniques and the rise in the number of men who take an active interest in their appearance. Nowadays, there are options for men focused on creating natural, masculine looks, some with relatively little downtime. Here are some of the most popular procedures for men. Jawline definition A chiselled jawline is an ideal aesthetic for many men. Adding definition to the jawline can help sharpen or widen the face for a more masculine look. It can also help fix asymmetry and tighten sagging skin along the neck and chin. Chin enhancement If you have a weak chin or under-projected chin, it can make your nose look too large and your lower face small compared to your upper face. Having dermal filler placed in your chin can help to balance your profile and give you an overall more masculine appearance. Chin filler can also be placed in the cleft chin (chin dimple or bum chin) to decrease its prominence. Wrinkle-reduction treatments Anti-wrinkle injections are highly effective at delaying or hiding the effects of aging on the face, so it’s no wonder that men are lining up for the procedure as well. The treatment and the results are similar in men and women. With more and more of us working for longer, the need to look younger to stay competitive is real. Anti-wrinkle treatments can be a useful source in a 15-minute appointment. In the hands of a Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse, your results should be natural and undetectable. But, of course, you should still look like yourself, just more refreshed. Dermal Filler treatments Dermal fillers can keep you looking refreshed and still masculine by enhancing your natural facial contours and restoring any volume lost from ageing. Dermal fillers can also improve the appearance of tired eyes, dark circles or bags under your eyes. Improvements can also be seen in static wrinkles and wrinkles caused by sun damage, smoking, or genetics. Whatever a patient’s desired treatment goals, the Juv’ae Cosmetic Nurse will customise a treatment plan that works with you, on your journey and to your budget.
