1. What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections, also known as Botox or botulinum toxin, are injectable treatments used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.

2. How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
The injections target specific muscles under the skin, blocking the nerve signals that cause those muscles to contract. This helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, particularly around the forehead, eyes, and mouth.

3. Where can anti-wrinkle injections be used?
Anti-wrinkle injections are commonly used for:

• Forehead lines

• Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)

• Crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes)

• Bunny lines (wrinkles on the sides of the nose)

• Smoker’s lines (lines around the lips)

• Jawline definition and neck bands

4. Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained and experienced practitioner, anti-wrinkle injections are considered very safe. The procedure has been FDA-approved and is widely used around the world. Our team at Battersea & Nine Elms Aesthetics Clinic follows the highest standards of care and uses FDA-approved products.

5. How long do the results last?
The effects of anti-wrinkle injections typically last between 3 to 6 months. After this period, the muscles gradually regain their function, and the wrinkles may begin to reappear, at which point you may need a follow-up treatment.

6. Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare but can include minor bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Some individuals may experience a slight headache after the procedure. These side effects usually resolve within a few hours to a few days.

7. How soon will I see results?
You may begin to notice a reduction in wrinkle appearance within 3 to 5 days after the procedure, with full results visible after about 2 weeks.

8. Does the procedure hurt?
Most people experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A very fine needle is used for the injections, and the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Numbing cream or ice may be applied before the treatment to reduce any discomfort.

9. Can I return to normal activities after the treatment?
Yes, you can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it’s recommended to avoid vigorous exercise, alcohol, or touching the treated area for the first 24 hours.
