Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Doctor-administered muscle-relaxing injections to reduce dynamic facial wrinkles including frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. Also used for jawline slimming via masseter reduction, brow lifting, gummy smile correction, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). All treatments performed by MBBS practitioner Dr Gavin Chan or supervised clinical team. TGA regulations apply — prescription product, consultation required.

Victorian Cosmetic Institute in Melbourne's Templestowe Lower suburb offers anti-wrinkle injections administered under the medical oversight of Dr Gavin Chan, MBBS (General Registration MED0001175745) and founding Medical Director since 2004. Under Australian TGA regulations, botulinum toxin is a Schedule 4 prescription medicine that requires a doctor consultation before treatment can be prescribed and administered — VCI's doctor-led model means this requirement is fully integrated into the clinic's standard workflow, distinguishing it from nurse-only or beauty-therapist-operated injection practices. The clinic treats the full spectrum of dynamic expression lines caused by repetitive facial muscle contraction: the glabellar frown lines between the brows (corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles), horizontal forehead lines (frontalis), and lateral crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes (orbicularis oculi). Beyond traditional wrinkle correction, the clinic also performs masseter muscle reduction for jawline slimming and bruxism relief — a popular treatment across Melbourne's eastern suburbs — as well as brow lifting, gummy smile treatment (levator labii superioris alaeque nasi reduction), and hyperhidrosis sweat reduction injections for the underarms or palms. Each appointment at VCI includes VISIA Skin Analysis, enabling the doctor to document baseline skin condition and track treatment outcomes objectively across visits. Complimentary review appointments are included for most injectable treatments, supporting ongoing dose optimisation. Results from anti-wrinkle injections typically onset within three to seven days and last three to four months. Victoria's medical cosmetics market is among the most active in Australia, and VCI's 20-year track record and Dr Chan's former pharmaceutical trainer background give Melbourne patients confidence in safe, accurate product placement.
