What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified protein called botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. These are the lines that form when you frown, smile, or squint. By softening muscle movement, we can smooth existing lines and prevent new ones from forming.

The treatment is quick, precise, and when administered by an experienced clinician, produces subtle results that look natural. You'll still be able to express yourself, just with fewer lines.

Prescription-Only Medicine

Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine. This means a face-to-face consultation is required with an independent prescribing clinician before treatment can take place.

Sarah works closely with a designated prescriber, who will meet with you (and Sarah) to assess suitability and issue the prescription if appropriate. This consultation must take place at least 48 hours before treatment, in line with UK regulations.

This process ensures your safety, allows time to discuss your goals fully, and supports informed, unpressured decision-making.

Who is it for?

Anti-wrinkle injections are suitable for adults who want to soften existing lines or prevent deeper wrinkles from forming. They're particularly effective for:

  • Those noticing lines at rest that weren't there before
  • People who want a refreshed, well-rested appearance
  • Those looking for preventative treatment in their late 20s or 30s
  • Anyone wanting to reduce teeth grinding or jaw tension (masseter treatment)

The treatment isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for those with certain neuromuscular conditions. Sarah will assess your suitability during your consultation.

Areas we treat

Anti-wrinkle injections can address multiple concerns across the face. Each area is assessed based on your unique facial anatomy.

11

Frown Lines

The vertical "11" lines between your eyebrows that can make you look tired or angry, even when you're not.

Forehead Lines

Horizontal lines across the forehead caused by raising the eyebrows repeatedly over time.

Crow's Feet

Fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes, often deepened by smiling and squinting.

Bunny Lines

The diagonal lines that appear on the sides of the nose when you scrunch or wrinkle it.

Lip Lines

Vertical lines around the mouth, sometimes called "smoker's lines" though they affect non-smokers too.

Chin Dimpling

A "pebbly" or "orange peel" texture on the chin caused by overactive chin muscles.

Masseter (Jaw Slimming)

Reduce teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw tension, and headaches while creating a slimmer, more contoured jawline. This treatment relaxes the masseter muscle, which can become enlarged from clenching or grinding.

What to expect

1

Consultation

Your journey starts with a face-to-face consultation where Sarah assesses your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and explains what's achievable. As botulinum toxin is prescription-only, this must happen at least 48 hours before treatment.

2

Treatment Day

The treatment itself takes 15-30 minutes. Using a very fine needle, Sarah precisely injects small amounts of product into the targeted muscles. Most clients describe it as a mild pinch. No anaesthetic is usually needed.

3

Results Timeline

You'll start to see results within 3-5 days, with full effects visible at 2 weeks. Results typically last 3-4 months, though this varies between individuals and with regular treatments may last longer.

4

2-Week Review

A complimentary review appointment is included at 2 weeks. This allows Sarah to assess your results and make any adjustments if needed, ensuring you're completely happy with the outcome.

Downtime

There's minimal downtime with anti-wrinkle injections. You may have slight redness or small bumps at the injection sites, but these typically settle within 30 minutes. Some clients experience mild bruising, which usually resolves within a few days. You can return to most normal activities immediately, though you should avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and lying flat for 4 hours.

Aftercare

Following these simple guidelines will help you get the best results from your treatment:

  • Stay upright for 4 hours after treatment
  • Avoid touching, rubbing or massaging the treated areas
  • No strenuous exercise for 24 hours
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
  • No facials, saunas or hot tubs for 24 hours
  • Avoid air travel for 24 hours if possible

Sarah will provide you with detailed written aftercare instructions following your treatment.

Mild redness, swelling at injection sites, occasional bruising, temporary headache
