Tailored facial aesthetics for soft, natural results

As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, while repeated facial expressions, like smiling, frowning, or squinting, can create dynamic lines over time. Anti-wrinkle injections work by gently relaxing the targeted facial muscles, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out while preserving your natural expressions.

During your comprehensive initial consultation, our experienced clinicians, led by our dentist Dr Kerry Size, GDC: 29142, will assess your facial structure, discuss your concerns, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to your features.

Key treatment areas include:

  • Forehead lines: Softening horizontal creases across the forehead for a smoother appearance.
  • Frown lines (glabellar region): Reducing the deep lines between the brows that can give a tired or stressed expression.
  • Crow’s feet: Smoothing fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes while maintaining your natural smile.

FAQs

Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified protein to temporarily relax specific dynamic facial muscles. By relaxing muscle activity in areas prone to movement, such as the forehead or around the eyes, the overlying skin becomes smoother, helping to soften existing lines and prevent new wrinkles from forming.

The effects typically become visible within 3 to 7 days, reaching full effect at approximately 2 weeks post-treatment. Results generally last between 3 to 4 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns. With regular maintenance treatments, results often last longer.

Yes, when administered by qualified, experienced medical professionals, anti-wrinkle treatments have an established safety profile with decades of clinical use worldwide. During your consultation, we review your full medical history to confirm the treatment is completely safe for you.

Minimal to no downtime is required. Most patients return straight to work or their daily activities immediately following the appointment. You may experience slight redness or minor swelling at the injection sites, which typically subsides within 20 to 30 minutes.

Always ensure your practitioner is a registered healthcare professional (such as a dentist, doctor, or nurse prescriber) with specific, accredited training in facial aesthetics. A reputable clinic will always insist on a face-to-face consultation before treatment, take place in a clean clinical environment, and provide full post-treatment support.
