Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
What is anti-wrinkle treatment?
Anti-wrinkle treatment is a medical injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes selected facial muscles. When these muscles contract less strongly, the lines they create can appear softer.
It is most often used for lines that form with movement, rather than lines present at rest. The effect is temporary, and treatment is repeated to maintain it.
Concerns it may address
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Frown lines between the brows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Other expression lines, assessed individually
Who it may suit
It may suit adults who notice lines forming with expression and would like them to appear softer, while keeping natural movement.
- Lines that appear mainly with movement
- Good general health, with no conditions that rule it out
- Realistic expectations of a subtle, temporary change
When it may not be suitable
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Certain neuromuscular conditions, or medicines that interact with treatment
- Infection or inflammation at the treatment site
- Lines that are deeply set at rest, where this treatment alone may not be the right approach
- Expectations of a frozen or very different look; a clinician may advise against proceeding
Alternatives that may be discussed
For lines present at rest or a loss of skin quality, skin boosters or dermal fillers may be discussed instead of, or alongside, anti-wrinkle treatment. Good skincare and daily sun protection remain part of any plan.
Consultation and assessment
Your consultation looks at how your face moves, not only at the lines themselves, before any treatment is agreed.
Preparing for your consultation
- Which lines bother you most, and when you notice them
- Previous injectable treatments, with approximate dates
- Medicines and supplements, including blood thinners
- Upcoming events, so timing can be planned
Facial assessment
Your features, expression and skin are assessed at rest and in movement.
Medical history
Health, medicines, allergies and any previous treatments are reviewed.
Plan and consent
If treatment is appropriate, the plan, aftercare and possible side effects are explained before you consent.
Your anti-wrinkle appointment
After your assessment, the treatment points are planned around your muscle movement. Technique and treatment planning vary according to the areas treated and your clinical assessment.
The effect develops gradually after treatment rather than immediately. Your clinician will explain whether a review appointment is recommended for you.
Why plans differ
Muscle strength, facial anatomy and how expressive you are differ from person to person, so the areas treated and the approach are planned individually rather than from a standard template.
Recovery and downtime
Most people return to their day soon after treatment. Small marks, slight swelling or bruising at injection points can occur and usually settle. Your clinician will give you aftercare advice, such as avoiding pressure on the area and strenuous exercise for a short time.
Aftercare principles
- Avoid rubbing or pressing the treated areas for the time advised
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and lying flat straight afterwards, as advised
- Attend any review appointment that is arranged
- Contact the clinic if you notice unexpected heaviness or asymmetry
Safety and suitability
Anti-wrinkle treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with certain neuromuscular conditions and medicines. Uncommon side effects, such as temporary heaviness or drooping, will be explained at consultation.
Injectable treatments are medical procedures and are not suitable for everyone, including during pregnancy or breastfeeding and with certain medical conditions. Temporary redness, swelling or bruising can occur, and less common side effects will be explained at consultation. Results vary from person to person.
Questions,

Will I still look like myself?

Is the treatment painful?
Sensation varies from person to person, and your comfort is checked throughout.
Can it be combined with fillers?

Most people return to their usual activities soon after treatment. Small marks at the injection points can be visible briefly, and your clinician will advise on exercise and aftercare.
