Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
This works on lines caused by movement. If your lines are still there when your face is completely at rest, this isn't the treatment that will remove them, and that's worth checking before you book anything.
£50 deposit, which comes off the cost of any treatment you go on to have.

A prescription-only medicine is injected into specific muscles to reduce how strongly they contract. Less movement in the muscle means less creasing in the skin above it.
Because it's a prescription-only medicine, it can't be sold the way a beauty treatment is sold. There has to be a consultation, an assessment of whether it's appropriate for you, and a proper prescribing process behind it. None of that can be done from a message or a photograph.
Which lines it helps, and which it doesn't
It helps with lines produced by muscle activity. The vertical lines between the brows when you frown, the horizontal ones when you raise your brows, and the creases at the outer corner of the eye when you smile.
It won't improve the texture of your skin. It won't fill a line that has become a fixed crease. It won't lift tissue that has descended. Sun damage is not a muscle problem, and treating muscle won't touch it.
Is it suitable for me?
Not for everybody. Pregnancy and breastfeeding rule it out, as do some neuromuscular conditions, and certain medicines matter. This is why we go through your history properly rather than handing you a tick-box form.
We'll also say no when we think the result would look wrong on you specifically. Some people rely quite heavily on the forehead muscle to hold their brows where they sit, and reducing it too much leaves them looking heavy across the eyes. That's a judgement about your face, made in front of your face.
What happens at the appointment
We ask what's bothering you and take a history. Then we ask you to pull a series of expressions, because the only way to know which muscles are doing the work is to watch them do it.
With your consent we take photographs. If we agree to go ahead, we'll explain what's being treated and what to expect afterwards. If you'd rather go away and think, that's a normal way for the appointment to end and we won't chase you about it.
Risks and recovery
Small bruises and a headache afterwards are the common ones.
Less commonly, the effect spreads slightly beyond the muscle intended, which can temporarily lower a brow or an eyelid. It does resolve. It's unpleasant while it lasts, and it's a large part of why we're careful about who we treat and how much we use.
The effect isn't permanent. How long it lasts varies between people, and we'd rather discuss that with you than print a number here that might not apply to you.
Questions patients ask
Not if the plan is right. That's a decision about placement and amount, not an inevitable feature of the treatment.
Assume not. A consultation comes first, and it's an assessment rather than a formality.
Tell us. One of the few genuinely reassuring things about this treatment is that it wears off.
No. Different treatment, different purpose, different risks.
