Cosmetic treatments.
Wrinkle reduction
Cosmetic wrinkle treatments temporarily relax muscles by blocking the release of chemicals involved in normal muscle contraction. This relaxation can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles associated with muscle movement (e.g. frown or forehead lines). Cosmetic wrinkle treatments can also soften and prevent the formation of resting lines. Other uses for cosmetic wrinkle treatments involve softening the upwards or downwards ‘pull’ of a facial muscle if it is resulting in a distracting facial feature (e.g. gummy smile or downturned mouth corners).
Common treatment areas include frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, teeth clenching/jawline slimming, platysmal (neck) bands, gummy smile, lip flip, brow lift, chin dimpling, downturned mouth corners and bunny (nose) lines.
The treatment cost varies between patients depending on requested treatment areas, treatment goals, individual facial anatomy, age, gender and how long it’s been since your last treatment. Results last 3-4 months on average. For more information about this treatment (including cost) please email info@buttercosmeticandskin.com.au or book a complimentary Butter consultation.

Facial volume
Cosmetic facial volumising treatments can temporarily add volume to the face. Volumisation may be sought to contour and enhance existing features or replace volume lost throughout the ageing process. Possible treatment areas include the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, temples, smile lines, downturned mouth corners, upper lip lines, under eye hollowing and skin hydration. Cosmetic Nurse Elysia works in collaboration with her prescribing doctor to create an individualised treatment plan which respects your natural facial features. Results last 12-24 months on average.
The treatment cost depends on the type and amount of volumising treatment used, which can vary depending on your treatment goals, individual facial anatomy, age, gender and how long it’s been since your last treatment. A discount is available when multiple areas are treated in a single appointment.

Jawline slimming
The masseter muscles contribute greatly to the shape of the lower face. When the masseter muscles are strong or overactive, the lower face can appear wider, and the jawline more square. Jawline slimming treatments can contour the shape of the lower face, providing a softer, slimmer and more feminine appearance. These treatments can also provide temporarily relief from symptoms of Bruxism, such as teeth clenching and grinding. This treatment usually takes 2-6 weeks for results to become visible. Once the desired outcome has been achieved, results typically last 4-6 months.

Bio-remodelling
Not to be confused with a ‘skin boosting’ treatment, bio-remodelling treatments hydrate and remodel your skin from within. This treatment stimulates skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and restore the firmness of your skin. Bio-remodelling treatments can be introduced at any stage of your treatment journey and are an ideal choice if you wish to elevate the quality of your skin, without changing your facial shape or volume.
We recommend two treatments, spaced one month apart for the ultimate skin glow. Treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage and hands. For more information about this treatment (including cost) please email info@buttercosmeticandskin.com.au or book a complimentary Butter consultation.
To further enhance your results following your bio-remodelling treatment, we recommend purchasing the Profhilo Haenkenium Antioxidant Cream.

Cosmetic lash and brow enhancement
Eyelashes and eyebrows play a crucial role in defining the eyes and contributing to the overall harmony of the face. However, balance and proportion are key. Overly thick or long enhancements, such as eyelash extensions, can affect natural facial proportions. This may lead to shadows around the eyes, making the eyes appear smaller and more recessed. Repeated eyelash extensions or over-plucking of the brows can damage hair follicles permanently, and in some cases prevent hair regrowth. While dramatic effects may appeal to some, most patients benefit from solutions that enhance their natural lashes and brows without overpowering their appearance. The ageing process can also lead to a noticeable reduction in the fullness, length, and overall appearance of lashes and brows, which many patients find concerning. Well-maintained, naturally enhanced lashes and brows brighten and define the eyes, maintain facial proportions and support a healthy, natural look.
To find out more about your suitability for cosmetic lash and brow enhancement, please book a consultation with our experienced Cosmetic Registered Nurse Elysia.
