What are anti-wrinkle injections?
When you use a facial expression, such as when you laugh or frown, fine lines will appear on your face. These types of wrinkles are known as dynamic wrinkles that only show when our facial muscles are in use.
This is where anti-wrinkle injections or anti-wrinkle treatment can help. They use Botulinum toxin to target specific facial muscles and temporarily relax them.
This does not freeze your face, as some news outlets may suggest, but rather it stops these facial muscles from contracting for a short time so that you see a smooth and youthful appearance.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a popular cosmetic treatment for both women and men. They also work on all skin types. The results are not permanent, but they do work for several months, which makes them one of our most popular cosmetic treatments.
How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Anti-wrinkle injections or Botulinum toxin injections are a safe and effective treatment for combating facial lines. They use small amounts of Botulinum toxin, which is a naturally occurring protein made by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria.
When you inject small amounts into certain facial muscles, it works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to these muscles. This stops them from contracting and reduces the lines that moving these muscles causes. Anti-wrinkle injections only impact the specific muscle and do not impact the surrounding areas.
Not only does this treatment smooth lines and wrinkles on the face such as frown lines and crow’s feet, but we can also use it to treat excessive sweating, neck spasms and a lazy eye.
The results normally last for 3-4 months. At this point, your muscles will start to return to their normal function. To keep your wrinkle-free skin, you will need repeat treatments.
What areas of the face can you have anti-wrinkle treatment on?
The most common areas of the face we inject anti-wrinkle treatment into are:
- Frown lines
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead lines
- Bunny lines (side of nose)
- Marionette lines
We can also use muscle relaxing injections to minimise the look of necklines.
Anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers?
Both anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers are great anti-ageing treatments. However, they both work differently and target different signs of visible ageing.
Anti-wrinkle injections are best for fine lines such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, target deeper lines and wrinkles on the face that remain even when you are not using your facial muscles.
Dermal fillers also use a hyaluronic acid substance to help plump and restore volume in the face. They can add definition and shape to sunken areas of the skin. The most common fillers are cheek filler, lip filler, jawline filler, chin filler, nose filler and tear trough filler (under eyes).

What to expect during your anti-wrinkle injections Essex
The first step is to have an initial consultation with one of our cosmetic doctors or practitioners. This is our chance to get to know more about you and your skin concerns and assess your skin condition. From this, we can develop a tailored treatment plan that will address your issues and give you great results.
One the day of your anti-wrinkle treatment, we will talk you through where the injection sites will be and how much Botulinum toxin we will use to achieve a natural result.
We inject the treatment using a very fine needle. You can expect your anti-wrinkle injections to take no longer than 30 minutes to complete. This will depend on how many areas you are having treatment in.
Do anti-wrinkle injections hurt?
Most patients describe the treatment as being fairly comfortable. We do not apply a numbing cream for this reason. You may feel a slight scratch and pressure from the injection, but this only lasts for a few seconds.
Anti-wrinkle injections – results and aftercare
You may start to see some visible improvements in the lines on your face within the first few days after your treatment. However, it can take up to two weeks for the treatment to settle and the final results to show. These results should last 3-4 months.
There are very few side effects from anti-wrinkle treatment. Downtime is also minimal and most people go back to work straight away. You may see some slight swelling and redness in the treatment area. This is normal and will go down in a few hours.
We do advise that you avoid any strenuous exercise, sun beds, and exposure to excessive heart for a few days. This will ensure that the Botulinum toxin has time to settle.
