Anti-wrinkle injections
Anti-wrinkle injections use botulinum toxin, which you’ll often hear called Botox. A small amount relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines, so the skin above them looks smoother.
Done well, you still look like you, just more rested. I’d always rather use too little and top up at your review than overdo it.
Before you book
This is a prescription-only medicine. You’ll always have a face-to-face consultation first, where we go through your medical history and what you’d like to change. Treatment only goes ahead if it’s right for you.
