The treatment
How Anti-Wrinkle Injections works
Your appointment begins with a medical consultation to assess your concerns, facial movement and health history. Where clinically appropriate, a prescription-only medicine is used to temporarily reduce the activity of targeted muscles. This softens the expression lines caused by repeated movement, most often across the forehead, frown area and around the eyes, without flattening the face or removing natural expression.

Before you book
Is this treatment right for you?
Suitable for
- Healthy adults who notice expression lines on the forehead, frown area or around the eyes and want a fresher, well-rested result. Particularly suited to those who want softening rather than a frozen or overdone finish.
Not suitable for
- Treatment is not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Certain neuromuscular conditions and medications require extra care, and suitability is always confirmed in consultation.
In their own words
"I just wanted to look a bit more rested, not like I'd had something done. Dr Shahe listened carefully, and that's exactly the result I got." (Representative client experience. Individual results vary.)

Common questions
Frequently asked about anti-wrinkle injections
What do anti-wrinkle injections treat?
The treatment is most commonly used for dynamic expression lines on the forehead, frown area and around the eyes. These are lines that form or deepen with repeated facial movement, rather than lines caused by volume loss or sun damage.
How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
A small amount of prescription medicine temporarily reduces activity in targeted muscles. With less repeated movement in those areas, the surface creasing appears softer and more settled.
How quickly will I see results?
Most people start to notice a change within 3 to 5 days. Results reach their peak at around two weeks.
How long do results usually last?
Typically around 3 to 4 months, though this varies between individuals depending on dose, the area treated and individual response.
Is there downtime after anti-wrinkle injections?
Very little. Tiny marks or mild redness at the injection sites can occur but generally settle within hours. Most people return to normal activity the same day.
Who may not be suitable for treatment?
Treatment is not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Extra care is needed where certain neuromuscular conditions or medications are involved, and this is always reviewed in consultation.
What are the main risks or side effects?
Possible side effects include small bruises, headache and asymmetry. Uncommon risks include eyelid or eyebrow droop, and infection is rare.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes. Every appointment begins with a full medical consultation. We'll review your concerns, assess your facial movement and structure, and take a health history before any treatment is agreed.
