What are anti-wrinkle treatment?
As part of the natural ageing process, the skin gradually loses collagen, elasticity and firmness. Over time, repeated facial muscle movements can contribute to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Facial expressions such as squinting, frowning and raising the eyebrows cause the underlying muscles to contract, which repeatedly folds and creases the overlying skin.
When these movements are repeated over many years, together with other contributing factors such as sun exposure, lifestyle and environmental influences, expression lines can become more permanent. These lines may remain visible even when the facial muscles are relaxed and are commonly referred to as crow’s feet, frown lines and forehead lines.
Botulinum toxin treatment works by temporarily reducing the activity of targeted muscles. By limiting excessive muscle contraction, the treatment can soften the appearance of dynamic lines and wrinkles and may help prevent them from becoming deeper over time.
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is a prescription-only medicine that is used under appropriate medical supervision for a range of medical and cosmetic indications. When appropriately prescribed and administered by a suitably qualified healthcare professional, it is an established treatment for reducing the appearance of certain facial wrinkles.
The term “Botox” is commonly used to describe botulinum toxin treatments; however, Botox is actually a specific brand name manufactured by Allergan. Because it was one of the earliest and most widely recognised brands, the term “Botox” has become commonly used as a general term for muscle-relaxing injections.

Targeted treatment areas
We focus on common expression areas where repeated muscle activity leads to visible lines, helping you achieve a smoother, refreshed appearance with balanced results.
Forehead lines
Horizontal lines across the forehead often develop through everyday brow movements. Where clinically appropriate, treatment temporarily relaxes targeted muscle activity to visibly soften these lines.
Frown lines
Also known as glabellar lines, these vertical creases appear between the eyebrows during concentration or frowning. Individualised injections help ease tension and soften the tired appearance.
Crow’s feet
Delicate fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes are common during smiling. Targeted administration softens their depth while maintaining warm, natural expression around your eyes.
Is treatment suitable for everyone?
No. A consultation is necessary to determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Your practitioner will consider your medical history, current medicines, allergies, previous treatments and individual circumstances.
You should tell the practitioner about any relevant medical conditions, medicines, allergies, previous reactions or cosmetic procedures.
Treatment may not be appropriate in some circumstances. For example, particular medical conditions, certain medicines, pregnancy or breastfeeding may affect whether treatment is suitable.
Your practitioner will discuss your individual circumstances with you.
What happens during treatment?
If treatment is considered appropriate and you decide to proceed, the practitioner will explain the proposed treatment before starting.
The treatment involves small injections into selected muscles using a fine needle. The areas and amount used will be determined by the prescribing practitioner according to your individual assessment and treatment plan.
The number and location of injections are not the same for every person.
What results can I expect?
Results vary between individuals.
The aim of treatment is to reduce the appearance of selected facial lines and wrinkles while maintaining an appropriate and natural-looking appearance.
The degree and duration of effect can vary depending on factors such as the treatment area, individual muscle activity and the person's response to treatment.

No cosmetic treatment can guarantee a particular result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does everyone need the same treatment?
No. Treatment is individualised following consultation and assessment.
Are anti-wrinkle treatments the same as dermal fillers?
No. They work differently. Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces muscle activity, while dermal fillers are injectable products used for purposes such as restoring volume or enhancing contours.
How long does the treatment take?
The appointment time varies depending on the consultation and treatment plan. Your clinic can confirm the expected appointment length when booking.
Will I still look natural?
The outcome depends on the individual treatment plan, anatomy and response to treatment. Your practitioner will discuss your desired outcome and realistic expectations during consultation.
Are there any risks?
Yes. Like all medical treatments, there are potential risks and side effects. These will be discussed with you before treatment so that you can make an informed decision.
Can I have treatment if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
Treatment may not be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Discuss your individual circumstances with the prescribing practitioner.
Can I book treatment without a consultation?
A consultation is an important part of the process. The prescribing practitioner must assess whether the treatment is appropriate and suitable for you before treatment is provided.
Is treatment available to under-18s?
Cosmetic botulinum toxin injections cannot legally be provided to people under 18 in England.
