Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften the muscle movement behind dynamic expression lines — frown lines between the brows, forehead lines and crow's feet around the eyes. At V Clinic the treatment is carried out by a physician after assessing which muscles to target, so expression is relaxed rather than frozen. Pricing runs from a single chosen area up to a full-face plan, making it easy to treat just one concern or refresh the whole upper or lower face.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce how strongly specific facial muscles contract. With less pull on the overlying skin, dynamic lines crease less and existing ones tend to soften over the following days. At V Clinic the treatment starts with a physician assessment of your facial movement and a discussion of which areas to treat — most commonly the glabella (frown lines), forehead and the area around the eyes, with the option to combine areas into an upper-face, lower-face or full-face plan. The injections themselves take around ten to fifteen minutes using a very fine needle; no anaesthetic is usually needed and you can return to normal activities the same day, while avoiding lying flat, heat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Effects typically begin after a few days and settle over about two weeks, generally lasting in the region of three to four months before movement gradually returns and a top-up is considered. Treatment is intended for adults who want a refreshed but still expressive look. It is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the physician reviews your suitability and any contraindications at consultation before proceeding.
