These treatments work by relaxing facial muscles that contribute to wrinkles—offering subtle, refreshed results. As cosmetic dentists, we take a holistic approach, balancing your smile with your overall facial features to achieve harmony and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections Safe?
Yes, anti-wrinkle injections are considered very safe when administered by qualified professionals. At Mickleham Dental, we use a prescription-only, purified protein that has been thoroughly researched and clinically tested.
Originally developed for medical use—including the treatment of conditions like cerebral palsy in children—this substance has a long history of safety. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With over 20 years of use in more than 80 countries, its safety profile is well established.
What areas can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections?
At Mickleham Dental, we offer anti-wrinkle treatments to help smooth and refresh your appearance. Common areas we treat include:
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
- Masseter muscles (for teeth grinding or facial slimming)
- Gummy smiles
- Smokers’ lines (around the lips)
- Chin dimpling
When will I see results?
You’ll typically begin to notice results within 3 to 10 days after treatment, with full effects developing shortly after. Results generally last 3 to 6 months, though regular treatments may extend this and even reduce the required dosage over time. Please note that results can vary, especially in patients over 60 due to natural changes in muscle tone.
Is the treatment painful?
Not at all. As dental professionals, we are highly skilled in administering facial injections. We prioritise your comfort and use gentle, precise techniques—most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure.
How long does the appointment take?
Each treatment is tailored to your individual needs. Appointments typically take around 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Before any treatment, we conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the best approach for your facial structure and aesthetic goals.
What’s involved in maintaining results?
To achieve and maintain optimal results, a consistent treatment schedule is important:
- First 12 months: We recommend treatments approximately every 3 months, as advised during your consultation. This helps prevent muscle activity from returning and supports maximum softening of expression lines.
- After 12 months: Many patients can extend the time between treatments to around 4–5 months, depending on their individual response and goals.
