Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften dynamic expression lines — the frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet around the eyes. At Skin Spa the treatment is performed by a dermatologist or aesthetic physician after assessing how your face moves, so expression is relaxed rather than frozen. Single areas or discounted two- and three-area combinations are offered, along with finer corrections such as a brow lift, lip flip or gummy-smile softening.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, precisely 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 Skin Spa the appointment begins with an assessment of your facial movement and a discussion of which areas to treat — most often the glabella (frown lines), forehead and the area around the eyes, with finer options including a brow lift, bunny lines, a lip flip, gummy-smile softening and a neck lift. The injections take around ten to fifteen minutes using a very fine needle; anaesthetic is not usually needed and you can return to everyday activities the same day, avoiding heat, lying flat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Effects typically become visible after a few days and settle over about two weeks, generally lasting three to four months before movement gradually returns. The clinic works with several established toxin brands, including a longer-acting liquid formulation for patients who prefer a longer interval between sessions. The treatment is suited to adults who want a refreshed but still expressive look; it is not carried out during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and your suitability and any contraindications are reviewed beforehand.
