Anti-wrinkle Treatment

Your first appointment

Initially, you’ll meet your surgeon assistant. You’ll be able to talk to them about why you’re considering treatment, the likely costs of anti-wrinkle treatment, finance options, and when you’d like your appointment. If you feel ready, we’ll then book you in for your free consultation with one of our professional practitioners or nurses.

Your treatment consultation

At your free consultation, your surgeon assistant or nurse will ask you about the results you want to achieve. They’ll guide you through your treatment options and create a personal anti-ageing treatment plan for you to ensure you achieve the best results. It may be that we’ll recommend an alternative treatment type – like chemical facial peels, microdermabrasion or skin tightening – that we think will better suit your needs.

You can discuss every aspect of your wrinkle treatment with no obligation to go ahead. Our surgeon assistants and nurses are extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions you have. If you feel ready to proceed, we can book your treatment in for a date and time that suits you.

The treatment

On the day of your treatment, you’ll be able to go through any last-minute questions with your practitioner or nurse. They’ll apply a numbing cream to the areas where you will be injected. Once it’s taken effect, your practitioner will use a very fine needle to carefully complete the series of small injections. This usually takes about 15 minutes in total and, although it may be a little uncomfortable, it shouldn’t hurt. The injections temporarily relax the facial muscles to smooth out lines and wrinkles. Your treatment may involve injections to the forehead, in between the eyebrows, in crow’s feet, and/or other areas, as agreed with your practitioner.

Recovery

You’ll be able to leave the clinic as soon as your treatment has been completed, and you should be fine to go about your normal day-to-day activities. You’ll just need to avoid tilting your head forwards for a while and avoid exercise for the next 24 hours. If you experience discomfort in your face, you can take painkillers to ease this. It can sometimes take a few days for the muscles to relax and for the results to become visible.

Aftercare

We believe that the highest quality aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself, so we’re here to support you. If you have any questions or concerns at all, you can contact our 24/7 helpline.

Line and wrinkle treatments can be very effective and last up to 4 months, depending on the individual patient. After your initial treatment, the effects of future treatments should last longer as your muscles are already trained to relax. If you’re looking to maintain a youthful and rejuvenated appearance, a top-up treatment is usually recommended every 4 months.
