Overview

Anti-Wrinkle Injections Overview

Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified form of botulinum toxin to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, softening dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated movement. They are most commonly used on the forehead, around the eyes (crow's feet), and between the brows (frown lines), and can also address more advanced concerns such as a gummy smile, dimpled chin, or downturned corners of the mouth.

At The Ghanem Clinic, treatment is led by experienced medical practitioners who plan every injection around your facial anatomy, expression patterns, and aesthetic goals. The result is a smoother, more refreshed appearance that preserves your natural movement, never altering the face you recognise.

Choosing Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections suit patients in their late twenties through to their sixties and beyond, whether the goal is preventive softening of early expression lines or correction of more established dynamic wrinkles. They also pair well with complementary injectable treatments for a fully refined result. Your consultation establishes the right approach for your face, lifestyle and long-term plan.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections vs. Dermal Fillers

The two treatments are often confused but do very different things. Anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles that cause expression lines. Dermal fillers add volume to restore contour and structure. Many patients use both in combination: anti-wrinkle injections to soften movement-related lines, fillers to address volume loss. Your practitioner will recommend the right balance during your consultation.

Treatment Details

What it Treats and What it Delivers

01

What it Treats

Forehead lines, crow's feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the brows are the most common indications. Anti-wrinkle injections can also address bunny lines on the nose, a gummy smile, dimpled chin, downturned mouth corners, neck bands, and jaw tension associated with teeth grinding.

02

Benefits

Patients enjoy softer expression lines, a rested and refreshed appearance, and the confidence of a treatment that preserves natural movement. With no surgery, no incisions and no downtime, results develop gradually over 1–2 weeks and last 3–4 months, with regular maintenance keeping the look consistent.

03

Additional Treatments

Anti-wrinkle injections are frequently combined with dermal fillers for volume restoration, skin quality enhancement injectables for texture and tone, or advanced skin rejuvenation for pigmentation and clarity. Your practitioner will design the right combination during your consultation.

The Procedure

Your Anti-Wrinkle Injection Journey

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a private consultation at our Wimpole Street clinic. Your practitioner reviews your medical history, examines your facial expressions and muscle patterns, and discusses your goals to ensure anti-wrinkle injections are the right approach for you.

Personalised Plan

A bespoke treatment plan is mapped out, identifying the precise injection points, units required, and any complementary treatments that would refine the overall result.

The Treatment

The skin is cleansed and marked with reference points. A series of small, precisely placed injections is delivered using a very fine needle. The entire treatment typically takes 15–30 minutes, with most patients describing only minor discomfort.

Aftercare and Review

You receive tailored aftercare guidance to support optimal results. A two-week review is offered to assess outcomes, refine areas if needed, and plan your next maintenance session at the right interval.

Before, During and After

What to Expect

Anti-wrinkle injections are designed to fit easily into a busy week, with no downtime and minimal disruption to your routine.

Before

Preparation

You may be advised to avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medication and intensive exercise for 24 hours before your appointment to reduce bruising risk. No other preparation is needed.

During

The Treatment

The appointment takes 15–30 minutes. After cleansing and marking, your practitioner administers a series of small injections. Most patients describe a quick pinching sensation rather than pain.

After

Recovery and Results

You can return to work or normal activity immediately. Avoid touching the treated area for four hours and lying flat for the rest of the day. Softening of lines begins within 3–5 days, with full results visible by two weeks.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?

Results typically last between three and four months. With regular maintenance sessions, the muscles being treated gradually retrain, which can extend the interval between appointments over time.

Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?

Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most studied aesthetic treatments in medicine and have an excellent safety profile when administered by experienced medical practitioners following a thorough consultation and personalised assessment.

Will my face still move naturally after treatment?

Yes. The approach at The Ghanem Clinic is precision over volume. Our practitioners aim to soften expression lines while preserving your natural facial movement, avoiding the frozen or overly smooth appearance associated with overtreatment.

What is the difference between anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers?

Anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to soften lines caused by movement. Dermal fillers add volume to restore contour and structure. The two treatments are often combined to address both expression lines and volume loss in a single tailored plan.

Is there any downtime?

No. You can return to work, social activity and most exercise immediately. Some patients experience minor redness or small bumps at the injection sites for 30 to 60 minutes, and occasionally light bruising that resolves within a few days.

When will I see results?

Softening of lines begins within three to five days, with full results visible at around two weeks. A two-week review allows your practitioner to assess outcomes and refine any areas if required.
