Anti-wrinkle treatment uses botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of specific facial muscles. By reducing repeated movement, expression lines can soften. It is most commonly used to treat frown lines, forehead lines and ‘crow’s feet’ around the eyes, but can also be used more selectively for concerns such as bunny lines, smoker’s lines, a downturned mouth or to create a subtle lip flip.

Treatment can often soften exisiting expression lines and help prevent them becoming more established over time. The aim is a fresher, more rested appearance while keeping the result balanced and natural - how much movement we retain and where we treat is something we decide together.

Suitable for adults who are looking to soften expression lines or make subtle changes to facial movement without dramatically changing how they look. Treatment is tailored to your anatomy, age and individual preferences following a full consultation.

Your treatment begins with an assessment of your facial anatomy and movement, followed by a thorough cleanse and careful marking of the areas to be treated. Small amounts of product are injected into specific muscles using a very fine needle. Treatment itself is quick and generally very well tolerated.

Results develop gradually rather than overnight. You may start to notice a change after a few days but it can take up to two weeks for the full effect to develop. Don’t worry, it’s completely normal for movement to remain, or for the result to look slightly uneven while the treatment is still taking effect. For this reason, I review results at two weeks, when any adjustments needed can be assessed accurately.
