Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections are a prescription-only medical treatment used to soften expression lines and prevent them from becoming deeper over time. They work by relaxing targeted facial muscles responsible for repetitive movements such as frowning, squinting or raising the eyebrows. When these muscles relax, the skin above them appears smoother and more refreshed while still allowing natural facial expression. Anti-wrinkle injections are commonly used to soften: • Forehead lines • Frown lines (between the eyebrows) • Crow’s feet around the eyes They can also be used to treat other areas including: • Bunny lines (lines on the nose) • Lip flip (subtle upper lip relaxation) • Downturned mouth corners • Chin dimpling / “orange peel” chin • Jawline slimming (masseter treatment) • Neck bands (platysmal bands) • Brow lift for a more open eye appearance • Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) Treatments are carefully tailored to your facial anatomy, muscle strength and aesthetic goals to achieve subtle, balanced and natural-looking results. Who it’s suitable for: • 18+ and in good general health • Not pregnant or breastfeeding • Seeking subtle, natural results What to Expect During Treatment • The treatment itself is quick and minimally invasive. • Your consultation includes a facial assessment and discussion of your goals. • Small amounts of product are injected into targeted areas using very fine needles. • The procedure typically takes 10–20 minutes. • Most people describe the sensation as small pinpricks with minimal discomfort. When to expect results • Initial effects: usually begin within 3–5 days • Full results: develop over 10–14 days • Peak effect: around 2 weeks Results typically last 3–4 months, although this varies depending on muscle strength, metabolism and treatment area. Regular maintenance treatments can help maintain smoother skin and prevent lines from becoming more established. Follow-Up Appointment I usually review patients two weeks after treatment to ensure the result has settled correctly. This allows me to: • Assess how your muscles have responded • Make any small adjustments if needed • Ensure the result remains balanced and natural This follow-up helps maintain a safe, precise and personalised approach to treatment. Consultation As anti-wrinkle injections are a prescription treatment, a consultation with a qualified practitioner is required to assess suitability and develop an individual treatment plan.
