Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that relax the muscles driving dynamic expression lines — frown lines between the brows, forehead lines and crow's feet around the eyes. At Vital Skin Clinic the treatment is performed by a physician after assessing how your face moves, so expression is softened rather than frozen. Single areas or discounted two- and three-area combinations are offered, with a long-acting liquid formulation and targeted options such as a lip flip, gummy-smile correction, jaw-clenching (bruxism) and underarm sweating.

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 skin above them creases less and existing dynamic lines soften over the following days. At Vital Skin Clinic the treatment starts with a physician assessment of your facial movement to agree the areas to treat — most often the glabella (frown lines), forehead and the area around the eyes, with finer options such as a brow lift, bunny lines, a lip flip, smoker's-line softening or mouth-corner lift also available. The injections take roughly 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 typically begin to appear after three to seven days and settle by about two weeks, generally lasting three to four months before movement gradually returns. The clinic also offers a liquid, longer-acting toxin for patients who prefer fewer top-ups, and uses botulinum toxin therapeutically for bruxism and for excessive underarm sweating. Treatment is intended for adults wanting a refreshed, still-expressive look and is associated with high satisfaction when expectations are discussed beforehand; it is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the doctor reviews your suitability and any contraindications at consultation.
