What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections use small amounts of a prescription medicine to relax targeted facial muscles.

When those muscles relax, the overlying skin appears smoother.

They are commonly used to treat:

  • Forehead lines.
  • Frown lines between the brows.
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes.
  • Jaw tension or teeth grinding.

  • Have no active skin infections in the treatment area.

An exam is always required to confirm suitability and discuss your individual goals.

What’s the difference between Botox and anti-wrinkle injections?

Botox is a brand name of anti-wrinkle injection.

“Anti-wrinkle injections” is the general term for treatments that use prescription medicine to relax targeted facial muscles and soften expression lines.

We use several brands for treatment, including Botox. Our practitioners will recommend the most suitable option during your exam.

What areas can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections?

Treatment areas include:

Upper face rejuvenation:

  • Forehead lines (horizontal lines across the forehead).
  • Frown lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows).
  • Crow’s feet (lines around the outer corners of the eyes).
  • Bunny lines (lines on the sides of the nose).
  • Brow lift (Subtle elevation of the eyebrows for a more open, youthful look.

Mid-face & lower face areas

  • Chin dimpling (orange peel texture on the chin).
  • Jawline slimming (for a more contoured appearance).
  • Neck bands (vertical lines on the neck).

Other areas may also be treated depending on individual needs. An exam with a qualified practitioner will help determine the best treatment plan for you.

Will I look frozen or unnatural?

No. The aim is to soften lines while maintaining natural expression.

How soon will I see results?

Results are typically visible in 3 – 5 days, with final results once swelling settles.

How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?

Results typically last 3-4 months, though longevity varies with metabolism, muscle strength, dose, and treatment area. With regular treatments, some patients find results last progressively longer as muscles become trained to relax.

Are anti-wrinkle injections painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort, often described as tiny pinches. The needles used are ultra-fine, and the entire procedure is quick. If you’re particularly sensitive, we can discuss numbing options during your exam.

Do anti-wrinkle injections have side effects?

Anti-wrinkle treatment is safe when performed by a qualified clinician. As with any medical treatment, mild side effects can occur.

These may include:

  • Redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.
  • Mild tenderness or discomfort.
  • Temporary headache.
  • Slight drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow (rare and usually temporary).

Most side effects are mild and settle within a few days.

Can I return to work the same day?

Most people return to work the same day.

If possible, you may prefer to work from home on the day of treatment and the following day, in case of mild swelling or redness.

If your job involves strenuous physical activity, it’s best to avoid heavy exertion for 24 – 48 hours. We’ll provide clear aftercare advice during your appointment.

What should I avoid after treatment?

To support the best results, please avoid:

  • Touching or rubbing the treated area for 24 hours.
  • Lying flat or bending excessively for 4 hours.
  • Strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
  • Alcohol for 24 hours.
  • Saunas, hot baths, or excessive heat for 24–48 hours.
  • Applying makeup to the area for 24 hours.

We’ll give you personalised aftercare advice at your exam.

Can I combine anti-wrinkle injections with other treatments?

Yes, anti-wrinkle injections often complement other aesthetic treatments, such as dermal fillers. Our practitioners can design a comprehensive treatment plan.

What’s the difference between anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers?

Anti-wrinkle injections are a muscle relaxant that reduces wrinkles caused by muscle movement. Dermal fillers add volume to areas that have lost fullness due to ageing.

Both treatments can complement each other to achieve a more youthful appearance, and during your exam, our practitioners will assess which treatment or combination of treatments is right for you.
