When most people think of anti-wrinkle injections, they picture smoother skin, softened lines, and a refreshed appearance. And while wrinkle relaxers are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in Perth for these reasons, their benefits extend far beyond aesthetics.
At The White Room Clinic, our approach to wrinkle relaxers is grounded in safety, natural-looking results, and comprehensive medical oversight. Our Aesthetic Nurses—supported by our medical practitioner team—provide tailored treatments that enhance your natural features without altering your unique expression.
But what many people don’t realise is that anti-wrinkle injections can also help with several medical and functional concerns. Here are five surprising uses for anti-wrinkle injections you may not have known about.
1. Hay Fever Relief (HayTox)
Springtime in Perth can be beautiful—but for those with persistent allergic rhinitis, it can also be miserable. Sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, scratchy throat—hay fever symptoms can disrupt daily life.
A lesser-known use for wrinkle relaxers is HayTox, a treatment that helps relieve hay fever symptoms.
How it works:
Tiny doses are administered inside the nasal cavity, where they help block neural transmission at the nerve endings associated with allergic responses.
This may help reduce symptoms such as:
-
Sneezing
-
Nasal congestion
-
Sinus-related headaches
-
Itchy or watery eyes
Many patients find HayTox especially beneficial during peak allergy seasons.
2. Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
If you struggle with excessive sweating—especially underarms — you’re not alone. Hyperhidrosis can be uncomfortable, distressing, and socially limiting.
Anti-wrinkle injections can offer long-lasting relief.
How it works:
Wrinkle relaxers temporarily block the chemical signals that activate sweat glands.
This means:
-
Significantly reduced sweating
-
Increased comfort
-
Freedom from sweat patches and odour
-
Results lasting up to 8 months
This treatment is particularly popular as summer approaches.
3. Masseter Reduction for Teeth Grinding & Jaw Tension
Grinding or clenching your teeth (bruxism) can cause:
-
Jaw pain
-
Headaches
-
Disturbed sleep
-
Damage to teeth
-
A bulky or square jawline
Anti-wrinkle injections into the masseter muscle can help relax the jaw, reducing tension and grinding.
Benefits include:
-
Relief from jaw discomfort
-
Fewer tension headaches
-
Reduced tooth wear
-
A softer, slimmer jawline
This treatment takes minutes and typically lasts around 6 months.
4. Lifting Downturned Mouth Corners
Ageing, muscle activity, and skin laxity can cause the corners of the mouth to naturally turn downward, creating a tired or “sad” appearance.
Anti-wrinkle injections can help soften the DAO (depressor anguli oris) muscle, which gently lifts the mouth corners for a more balanced, refreshed expression.
Results are typically seen within 1–2 weeks, creating a subtle but meaningful improvement.
5. Smoothing Neck Lines & “Tech Neck”
Fine lines and platysmal bands on the neck are a common concern—especially with more time spent looking down at phones and computers.
Anti-wrinkle injections can help by:
-
Softening dynamic neck lines
-
Reducing the appearance of neck banding
-
Enhancing jawline definition by reducing downward pull from the neck muscles
This treatment is ideal for clients wanting a more elegant, refined neck contour.
Why People Still Love Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Aesthetic Use
Even beyond these lesser-known benefits, anti-wrinkle injections remain one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for:
-
Softening expression lines
-
Preventing deeper wrinkles
-
Refreshing the eye area
-
Creating a smoother, more youthful look
Our philosophy at The White Room Clinic is simple:
Enhance, don’t change.
We aim for refined, balanced results that maintain your natural expressions—not freeze them.
