Overview
Anti-wrinkle injections use botulinum toxin to temporarily relax specific facial muscles, softening the lines they create when you frown, raise your brows or smile.
The effect is temporary. How long it lasts depends on the product, the dose, the area and your individual response, and is discussed at the consultation.
Areas we treat
- Forehead linesHorizontal lines when raising the brows
- Frown linesThe vertical lines between the brows

Most people return to normal activities the same day, but follow your doctor's advice.
