Anti wrinkle injections help to soften and reduce the appearance of unwanted lines and wrinkles
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Botulinum toxin (often sold under the name brand Botox) works by blocking the electrical impulses that cause your facial muscles to contract.
This reduces the ability of the muscles to move, and so the overlying skin softens. This will reduce wrinkles and give your face a smooth and wrinkle-free appearance.
The procedure is straightforward, quick and relatively pain-free.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS?
Frown
These vertical lines appear between your eyebrows – they’re sometimes referred to as ’11s’ lines.
Prominent lines in this area can often make you look tired and/or angry. Frown line injections can make you look more relaxed and youthful.
Forehead
Horizontal forehead lines or ‘surprise lines’ become more obvious as you age.
Excessive lines and furrows in this area can make you look older beyond your years, but forehead line injections soften and smooth your appearance.
Crow’s feet
Softening the harsh lines and deep wrinkles around your eyes can make you look more youthful and relaxed.
DAO ( marionette lines)
The muscle that helps to pull down the corners of the mouth. Your mouth as you get older starts to turn down increasing the appearance of the marionette lines ( the lines that come form the corners of the mouth down). By injecting this muscle it can help to soften this and stop the pull from the corners of the mouth.
Chin dimpling
The chin has a muscle called the mentalis muscle that can cause a dimpling making the chin look wrinkled and like that of orange peel. Injecting anti wrinkle injections into this muscle can relax it and soften this dimpling.
Lip flip
A lip flip is injecting anti wrinkle injections into the muscle around the mouth. This can help increase the height of the lip and stop it turning in the way. Often people get this if they feel that when they smile their top lip disappears.
Gummy smile
This is to decrease the amount of gum that shows when you smile. It is effective if you feel what when you smile you see more gum showing than you would want.
Masseter
If you suffer from tension headaches or you grind your teeth. Anti wrinkle injections can be injected into the masseter muscle which reduces the muscle and reduces teeth grinding and can help with headaches and also give a slimmer jaw.

The appointment, including a consultation, will take around 15 minutes. You may see some small marks or bumps at first, but these will go away within a few hours.
It takes 2-5 days for the treatment to take effect, with peak onset being at 2 weeks. The treatment typically lasts for 3 months, which varies depending on lifestyle factors (e.g. those who exercise daily will find the treatment duration is shorter).
After your treatment, we recommend that you do not apply any make-up for 4 hours. Avoid heavy exercise and alcohol for 24 hours. After 2 weeks, assess the results. If you would like a more dramatic result, you can request a dose adjustment.
