Side effects of anti-wrinkle injections are rare, but can include some tenderness or bruising at the site of injection.

At a medically-led aesthetic clinic like MediZen, we ensure that all patients get natural-looking results. We have been administering anti-wrinkle injections for over 20 years. Our multi-award winning clinical director, Dr. David Eccleston was named Tatlersr’s ‘Man in the Midlands’ for Anti-Wrinkle Injections as well as one of the UK’s top 10 Anti-Wrinkle Doctors by The Times. As a national complications expert and global trainer in the administration of Anti-Wrinkle Injections, we can assure you that you’re in the safest hands.

Because of the fine needle used, most clients find that discomfort is only mild and temporary. The entire procedure usually takes no longer than a few minutes.

Wrinkle relaxing treatments work by using a small amount of an anti-wrinkle injectable which is injected into the muscle that is causing the skin to crease. When injected, they temporarily block muscle activity, helping to prevent wrinkles from forming or deepening. The treated muscle is essentially put into hibernation for around 3-4 months, leaving the overlying skin looking smooth and less wrinkled. Don’t worry though, the treatment only works on the muscle that’s being injected, leaving the surrounding muscles functioning as normal so your face won’t look frozen or expressionless. The muscle will activity will slowly start to return around 3-4 months following treatment.

We can treat a wide range of areas with anti-wrinkle injections. Popular areas include: forehead, frown lines between eyebrows, crows feet, upper eyebrow, bunny lines on the nose, mouth area, the chin and the neck. Here at MediZen we can also use anti-wrinkle injections for excessive sweating (underarms, feet, palms, scalp, back etc), teeth grinding and jaw clenching, migraine treatment and for Raynaud’s disease.

All patients will require a consultation with one of our doctors or nurses before commencing any anti-wrinkle treatment. This treatment requires a prescription only drug which must be prescribed by a doctor or nurse, and injected by a fully trained medical professional. A consultation is necessary in order to discuss your concerns, medical history and desired results. This will ensure your practitioner recommends the most effective product for you, and can inject in the specific areas you are concerned about.

Absolutely! As a medical aesthetic clinic, we recommend all of our patients combine treatments to get the best possible results. As anti-wrinkle injections only target muscle activity, there are a range of treatments options available to address other ageing concerns. For injectable treatments this includes polynucleotides, profhilo, dermal filler and thread lifts. We recommend that all anti-wrinkle patients also consider commencing skin treatments to ensure their overall skin quality improves over time, this helps with reducing the signs of ageing and can improve anti-wrinkle injection results. Our skin treatments include lasers, micro-needling, chemical peels, hydrafacials and medical grade skincare.
