What is Anti-Wrinkle Injection Treatment?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a simple, non-surgical treatment used to temporarily soften lines that develop from repeated facial expressions.
These lines commonly appear:
- between the eyebrows (frown lines)
- across the forehead
- around the outer corners of the eyes
The treatment works by relaxing the muscles responsible for these facial expressions, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother.
Our dermatologists favour a natural-looking result that softens wrinkles while maintaining normal facial expression.
Anti-wrinkle injections are provided at London Real Skin, the cosmetic dermatology branch of The London Skin and Hair Clinic.

What is involved in Anti-Wrinkle Injection Treatment?
A treatment session usually takes around 30 minutes.
A series of small injections are placed into targeted facial muscles using very fine needles.
If it is your first treatment, the clinician may initially use a conservative dose and ask you to return after around two weeks for review and adjustment if required.
Results usually begin to appear within a few days and typically last 3–4 months, although some patients find results may last longer with repeated treatments.
Anti-wrinkle injections are carried out following consultation to ensure the treatment is appropriate and tailored to your facial anatomy.
