Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that relax the muscles driving dynamic expression lines — horizontal forehead lines, frown lines between the brows and crow's feet around the eyes. Performed by a physician after assessing your facial movement, the treatment softens lines while keeping expression natural. Single areas or a discounted three-area 'lift' are available, with premium and long-acting toxins offered for patients who prefer fewer top-ups.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, carefully placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of selected facial muscles. By easing how strongly those muscles contract, the overlying skin creases less and existing dynamic lines soften over the following days. At HappyDERM the treatment is performed by an aesthetic-medicine physician who first assesses how your face moves and agrees which areas to treat — most often the forehead, the glabella (frown lines) and the lateral eye area, with finer options such as a brow lift, bunny lines, a lip flip, gummy-smile correction or lifting of the mouth corners also offered. The injections take around ten to fifteen minutes using a very fine needle; anaesthetic is not usually needed and you can return to normal activities the same day, avoiding lying flat, heat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Results begin to appear after three to seven days and settle by two weeks, typically lasting three to four months before movement gradually returns. The clinic works with several established toxin brands — Azzalure, Bocouture, Letybo and the long-acting Alluzience — and also uses botulinum toxin therapeutically for excessive sweating, teeth grinding (bruxism) and migraine. Treatment is suitable for adults wanting a refreshed, still-expressive look; it is avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding, and suitability and any contraindications are reviewed before treatment.
