What Are Anti Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections use a refined protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. This reduces the repetitive movements that cause fine lines—like frowning, squinting, or smiling—allowing your skin to appear fresher and more relaxed.
What is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin, a purified protein derived from Clostridium Botulinum, is widely recognised for its safety and effectiveness in both medical and cosmetic treatments. Just like Penicillin, it began as a medical breakthrough and is now used worldwide to treat everything from migraines and excessive sweating to expression lines and dynamic wrinkles.
Our treatments are delivered by highly skilled Advanced Aesthetic Nurses with extensive experience in facial injectables. During your consultation, you’ll receive personalised advice and a tailored treatment plan based on your goals, facial anatomy, and skin condition.
The entire process at our Essex clinic typically lasts approximately 20 minutes. You’ll be well-informed about the procedure before receiving the anti-wrinkle treatment because you will have already had a thorough face-to-face consultation with our team. During this consultation, we will have addressed your suitability for the treatment, explained the intricacies of the anti-wrinkle procedure, and discussed its particulars.
It’s advisable to allocate a 24-hour period for recovery after the procedure.
Nevertheless, in practice, aside from possible minor bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site,
we anticipate minimal to no side effects, and there should be no need for any downtime.
You can expect to observe the initial visible effects of your anti-wrinkle injections around 2-3 days following the treatment,
and the full, optimal results should become evident within 12-14 days. Your enhanced appearance is likely to endure for a duration
of 3-4 months before a follow-up treatment is recommended at our Braintree aesthetic clinic to sustain your rejuvenated look.
We use extremely fine needles when administering the Botox to ensure minimal discomfort during the procedure.
The anti-wrinkle treatment will then be precisely delivered into the specific muscles that you discussed with the practitioner beforehand.
Having obtained FDA approval for cosmetic applications several years ago, anti-wrinkle injections are regarded as a treatment with very low associated risks.
Botox, in particular, boasts an excellent safety track record. While there is a more severe potential side effect known as eyebrow drooping, it is exceedingly rare.
On the day of your treatment, you will receive guidance on aftercare measures to minimise swelling and bruising.
We recommend avoiding excessive heat and strenuous physical activity for up to 48 hours following the procedure.
If you find it necessary to schedule a follow-up appointment after two weeks, our skin clinic will ensure you are informed on any further aftercare advice.
Anti Wrinkle Injections Areas
The Eyes
The delicate skin around the eyes is often the first area to show age. Our targeted injections help soften these fine lines, and in deeper cases, can be combined with light dermal fillers for enhanced smoothing.
Forehead & Brow
Repeated facial expressions can lead to forehead lines and frown creases. We help smooth out these areas, giving your upper face a more relaxed, youthful look.
Mouth
Fine lines around the mouth are a common concern as collagen declines. Our injections work to gently soften these lines, restoring smoothness without freezing your natural expressions.
Neck Bands
Don’t forget your neck! Our anti-wrinkle injectables can relax prominent neck bands, helping to restore a firmer, more youthful neckline.
Bunny Lines
These small wrinkles appear across the bridge of the nose when smiling or laughing. A quick, precise injection on either side of the nose helps reduce their appearance.
Nefertiti Neck Lift
Inspired by the timeless beauty of Queen Nefertiti, this treatment enhances jawline definition and lifts the neck area, creating a more sculpted, rejuvenated profile.

Anti Wrinkle Injections FAQs
What should I do before the treatment?
It is important you tell your practitioner about any medicines or dietary supplements you are taking, some medicines can adversely affect the way the toxin works or increase your risk of bruising.
If you are taking supplements such as Vitamin A, C or E, Gingko Biloba, Garlic, fish oils, St. Johns Wort or some pain killing medicines such as aspirin or ibuprofen, then these can increase your risk of bruising and it may be advisable to stop taking them a few days before your treatment. It is also advisable that you do not drink alcohol the night before your treatment, for the same reason.
It is not advisable to have treatment if you are feeling at all unwell.
Make-up will need to be removed prior to the injections and you will be advised not to reapply it for 12 hours in order to reduce the risk of infection or irritation at the injection sites.
Be aware of the necessary after care advice and that your schedule allows for you to follow it.
What are Anti Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections consist of a purified protein derived from the clostridium bacterium. They are administered in very small amounts to target and relax dynamic wrinkles that result from the contraction of muscles.

After the treatment with anti-wrinkle injections, you can expect the following timeline of effects:
- Initial effects may become noticeable within the first 2 to 5 days.
- The muscle reaches its peak relaxation effect at around 14 days following the procedure.
- Continuous improvement in results may be observed for up to 4 weeks or even longer.
