The eye area is one of the most dynamic and expressive areas on our face.

The constant movement and pulling of expressions with our eyes (which happens hundreds of times a day!), commonly leads to the creation of what is known as "crows' feet" around the corners of our eyes. The hazards of modern day life, especially long hours spent squinting at computer screens or time spent in the bright Australian sun, only adds to the problem.

Treatment

Injectable Muscle Relaxants
Crows' feet can be quickly, easily and effectively treated with Injectable Muscle Relaxants - with a single treatment lasting between three and five months.

The treatment itself is generally over in fifteen minutes, and does not require recovery time. In fact, many of our clients pop in during their lunch break, returning to work straight away.

How do Injectable Muscle Relaxants work?
The Muscle Relaxant Injections cause the injected muscles to "relax" so that they no longer contract (squeezing out tiny amounts of precious collagen and hyaluronic acid) and cause lines and wrinkles to form. Muscle relaxant injections also block nerve impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are directly related to expression lines. After treatment, the skin overlying the treated area becomes smooth and unwrinkled. The muscles that went untreated contract as usual and leave normal facial expressions unaffected.

Cost: On average, Injectable muscle relaxant treatments cost $350

Injectable Dermal Fillers
In some cases, repeated movement around the eye area will have caused deep static lines to have formed (lines visible when the face is at rest), in these cases the Injectable Muscle Relaxant treatment is supplemented with a very light Injectable Dermal Filler which plumps the skin erasing deep lines, resulting in a perfect smoothness around the eye area.

Cost: Injectable Dermal Filler treatments start at $300

How do Injectable Dermal Fillers work?
Dermal fillers are injected into the skin in tiny amounts - using an ultra fine needle. Dr.Bakaric may massage your skin gently to optimize contouring of the gel. This treatment works in 2 ways: once injected into the "mid to deep dermis" (middle layer of skin), the dermal filler gel adds volume and fullness which smoothes out facial wrinkles and folds. Then, the gel integrates into dermal tissue, attracts and binds to water molecules and helps to maintain volume.

Injectable dermal filler is made from the body's own material "hylauronic acid or collagen" and provide instantaneous, long-lasting natural enhancement.
