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.

What patients notice

What to expect

  • Softens dynamic lines while preserving natural expression
  • Quick appointments with very little downtime
  • Dosing tailored to your facial movement and goals
  • Can help slow the gradual etching of lines over time
  • Suits both one-off appointments and longer maintenance programmes

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.

After your appointment

Aftercare

Aftercare is usually minimal. For the first day, avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, facial massage and makeup directly over the injection sites. Your clinician will give you personalised guidance at your appointment.

Why the consultation decides it

The consultation is not a formality before the injection, it is the part that decides whether there should be one. I am looking at how your face moves, what you are taking, and what you expect to see afterwards. A prescription-only medicine is prescribed for you specifically or it is not prescribed at all. Someone who wants a result their anatomy will not give them is someone who should leave without treatment, and that does happen here.

Coming in from across Nottinghamshire

The clinic is at 65 London Road, Newark-on-Trent, NG24 1RZ, with free parking at the front.

Treatment itself is usually one appointment, with a review visit arranged where it is useful. The consultation comes first and it happens in person, because a prescribing clinician has to assess you face to face before anything is prescribed. That means two trips at the start rather than one, and it is worth planning for.

Patients travel in from Balderton, Farndon, Collingham and Bingham, and from further out at Southwell, Ollerton, Lincoln and Grantham. Appointments are short. Most people come in around work.

You are asked to stay upright for a few hours afterwards and to leave strenuous exercise for the rest of the day, so plan the drive home and an ordinary evening rather than the gym.

Further reading: what to expect at an aesthetic consultation, and fine lines around the mouth. We also treat excessive sweating with the same class of injection. Background on the concern: fine lines and wrinkles.

Everything starts at consultation. What that looks like from West Bridgford and from Mansfield.

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.
