Overview
Our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin with age, while repeated facial expressions and environmental exposure create lines and wrinkles over time. These treatments offer a smoother appearance and can also be used preventatively.
Wrinkle reducing treatments encompass a variety of procedures delivered in a medical setting, including Collagen Induction Therapy, medical-grade skincare, and medical aesthetic procedures. Visible results typically develop within 2 weeks, with full effects at around 4 weeks.
Your complimentary consultation with a Registered Nurse includes a full facial assessment, medical history review, and personalised recommendations tailored to your aesthetic goals.

Anti-wrinkle injections are prescription-only medicines. This information is general — your individual risk profile depends on your medical history, current medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and prior treatments. Your nurse will discuss these with you in detail at your consultation.

We believe in natural, refreshing results that help you look like the best version of yourself — not a different person. Our philosophy centres on positive ageing: enhancing your features while maintaining your unique expression and personality. Every treatment is tailored to your individual goals.
Longevity varies between individuals and depends on factors including metabolism, muscle activity, dose, and the specific area treated. Your nurse will discuss realistic expectations and a suitable review schedule at your consultation.
Most clients experience minimal discomfort. Fine needles are used, and the procedure is quick — usually completed within 15–20 minutes.

Yes — wrinkle reduction treatments work beautifully alongside skin needling, chemical peels, and volume restoration. Your nurse will advise on optimal timing and combinations during your consultation.
Your Practitioner
Nurse Kristin
Treatments at Cadence are delivered by a nurse, never delegated. The practice is led by Kristin, an AHPRA-registered Registered Nurse with over a decade of clinical experience including acute-care nursing at a major Melbourne hospital, and she is joined in the clinic by Hannah, also a Registered Nurse.
Her medical-first approach means each treatment plan starts from assessment, history and risk — not a wish list. Kristin is trained in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) screening and works with a conservative, considered philosophy.
