Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften the muscles behind dynamic expression lines — frown lines between the brows, forehead creases and crow's feet around the eyes. At CME the treatment is performed by an aesthetic-medicine physician after assessing how your face moves, so expression is relaxed rather than frozen. Single areas or discounted two- and three-area combinations are available, and a complimentary touch-up is offered within three weeks of treatment.

Anti-wrinkle injections use tiny, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of selected facial muscles. As those muscles contract less strongly, the skin above them creases less and existing dynamic lines gradually soften over the following days. At CME the treatment starts with a physician consultation to map which muscles to target — most often the glabella (frown lines), forehead and the lateral eye area — and to agree how much movement to keep. The injections take around ten to fifteen minutes using a very fine needle, usually without anaesthetic, and you can return to normal activities the same day while avoiding heat, lying flat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Results begin to appear after about three to seven days and settle within two weeks, with the clinic noting the effect is typically maintained for several months before muscle movement gradually returns. CME offers a complimentary review and top-up within three weeks if a small adjustment is needed. The same toxin can also be used in higher doses to ease teeth grinding (bruxism) and excessive sweating. The treatment suits adults who want a refreshed, still-expressive look; it is not given during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the physician reviews your suitability and any contraindications before proceeding.
