Anti-wrinkle Injections in West London
Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing but remain an unwelcome effect for many. Anti-wrinkle injections offer a popular, non-surgical option to restore a smoother, more youthful appearance by targeting fine lines and wrinkles.
How do Anti-wrinkle injections work?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-surgical treatment commonly using Botulinum Toxin that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of lines and prevent new ones from forming. By softening excessive movement in certain areas, the skin appears smoother and more rested, while natural facial expressions are preserved. The effects typically last between 3 to 4 months.
Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead lines (horizontal lines
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows, also called “11s”)
- Crow’s feet (lines around the outer corners of the eyes)
- Bunny lines (wrinkles on the sides of the nose)
- Eyebrow lift (to create a more lifted, refreshed appearance)
- Jawline/Masseter muscles (for facial slimming or teeth grinding)
- Gummy smile (to reduce excessive gum show when smiling)
When will I see results, and how long can I expect them to last?
Treatment is quick and straightforward, with little to no downtime, meaning you can return to your usual activities straight away. Results from anti-wrinkle injections generally become noticeable within a week, with the full effects being visible in approximately 10-14 days. These effects usually last between 3 to 4 months.
Anti-wrinkle injections can help you achieve a fresher, more relaxed appearance without leaving you looking “frozen” or overdone. By softening lines and creases, they also play a preventative role, helping to slow the development of deeper wrinkles over time.
