Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily reduce the activity of specific muscles responsible for dynamic facial lines and wrinkles. By carefully targeting selected muscles, treatment can soften the appearance of lines while maintaining natural facial movement and expression. Common areas include forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet, as well as bunny lines, chin dimpling, gummy smile, downturned mouth and neck lines, depending on your individual facial anatomy and consultation.
Results are not immediate. You may notice changes within a few days, with the full effect developing over approximately 10-14 days. Treatment is carefully dosed and positioned according to your individual muscle movement and desired result, with minimal downtime and personalised aftercare advice. A consultation is an important part of your treatment, so we can assess your facial movement and anatomy, discuss your concerns and create a personalised plan.

Anti-wrinkle injections use botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of specific muscles responsible for dynamic facial lines and wrinkles. By carefully targeting selected muscles, treatment can soften the appearance of lines while maintaining natural facial movement and expression.
Common areas for anti-wrinkle treatment include forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, chin dimpling, gummy smile, downturned mouth, neck lines, underarms and other areas where excessive muscle activity contributes to unwanted lines. The areas suitable for treatment will depend on your individual facial anatomy and consultation.
Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces the nerve signals that cause targeted muscles to contract. As the treated muscles relax, repetitive movement is reduced, which can soften existing dynamic lines and help prevent them from becoming more pronounced.
Results are not immediate. You may begin to notice changes within a few days, with the full effect generally developing over approximately 10-14 days. We recommend allowing the treatment time to fully develop before assessing your final result.
Yes. Our aim is not to eliminate your facial expressions. Treatment is carefully dosed and positioned according to your individual muscle movement and desired result. The goal is to soften unwanted lines while maintaining a natural appearance and expression.
Most clients experience only a brief pinch or small sting during the injections. The needles used are extremely fine and treatment is usually relatively quick. Some temporary redness, tenderness or small raised areas at the injection sites can occur immediately afterwards.
Results vary from person to person, but anti-wrinkle treatment commonly lasts around 3-4 months. Factors such as muscle strength, metabolism, treatment area and individual response can influence how long the results remain noticeable.
Anti-wrinkle injections require minimal downtime, and most clients can return to their normal routine following treatment. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or small bumps around the injection sites. You will receive personalised aftercare advice following your treatment.
If you’re preparing for a wedding, holiday, birthday or another important event, we recommend not leaving treatment until the last minute. Allowing at least 2-3 weeks gives the treatment time to fully develop and allows any temporary swelling or bruising to settle. For your first treatment, allowing even more time is preferable so that you can see how you personally respond.
Yes. A consultation is an important part of your anti-wrinkle treatment and a legal requirement. This is when we will assess your facial movement and anatomy, discuss your concerns and desired outcome, review relevant medical information and determine whether treatment is appropriate for you. We will then create a personalised treatment plan rather than using a standard approach for every client.
Absolutely. Many clients at ELIA Clinic are having their first anti-wrinkle treatment. During your consultation, we’ll explain what the treatment involves, what you can realistically expect and answer any questions you may have before you decide whether you’d like to proceed.
Anti-wrinkle treatment is temporary. The effect gradually wears off as normal muscle activity returns. If you have any concerns following your treatment, please contact ELIA Clinic. We can assess your result and advise you appropriately. We recommend allowing the treatment to fully develop before making any decisions about the final outcome.
Anti-wrinkle injections aren’t suitable for everyone. Your suitability will be assessed during your consultation. You should tell us about any relevant medical conditions, medications, allergies, previous reactions to botulinum toxin and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If we feel the treatment isn’t appropriate for you, we will explain why and discuss whether another option may be more suitable.
To help your appointment run smoothly and give you the best possible results, please read the following advice before you visit.
Following your anti-wrinkle treatment, it is normal to experience mild swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising at the injection sites, which should subside within a few days. To ensure optimal healing and results, please follow the guidance below.
