Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften the muscles behind dynamic expression lines — frown lines between the brows, forehead lines and crow's feet around the eyes. After a brief assessment the physician maps which muscles to target so movement is eased rather than frozen. Single areas or discounted two- and three-area combinations are available, along with finer options such as a brow lift, lip flip, bunny lines and a neck (platysma) treatment.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of specific facial muscles. By easing how strongly those muscles contract, the overlying skin creases less and existing dynamic lines soften over the following days. At Diamond Estetic the treatment begins with an assessment of your facial movement and a discussion of the areas to treat — most commonly the glabella (frown lines), forehead and lateral eye area, with additional options including a brow lift, bunny lines, a lip flip, gummy-smile softening, drooping mouth corners and a neck treatment. The injections themselves take around ten to fifteen minutes using a very fine needle; numbing is not usually required and most people return to normal activities the same day, avoiding lying flat, heat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Results are typically associated with a visible change after three to seven days, settling by about two weeks, and usually lasting in the region of three to four months before movement gradually returns. The clinic's price list covers single areas through to a full-face approach, as well as botulinum-toxin treatment for excessive underarm or palm sweating and for teeth grinding. The treatment is intended for adults wanting a refreshed, still-expressive look; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and suitability and any contraindications are reviewed before treatment.
