Treatment Overview
Wrinkle reduction injections are a popular, non-surgical treatment designed to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, delivering a fresher, more youthful appearance. These injections use a purified protein to temporarily relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions like frowning, squinting or smiling. Common areas treated include crow’s feet, forehead lines and frown lines, but the procedure can also be tailored to other facial areas.
This quick, minimally invasive treatment provides noticeable results with little to downtime, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a refreshed look without surgery.

Wrinkles are a natural part of ageing, but their development can sometimes leave individuals feeling self-conscious. Wrinkles form due to a combination of factors, including decreased collagen production, reduced skin elasticity, and repetitive facial movements. Dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, appear as a result of muscle contractions during facial expressions. In contrast, static wrinkles, like those caused by sun damage or gravity, remain visible even when the face is at rest.
Wrinkle reduction injections specifically target dynamic wrinkles, helping to smooth the skin and restore a youthful appearance without surgery.
The wrinkle reduction treatment begins with a consultation to assess the patient’s concerns and determine the best approach. Mr Paul Wilson and his team carefully evaluates the facial structure and identifies the muscles responsible for the targeted wrinkles. After devising a personalised treatment plan, the procedure is carried out in-clinic, typically taking around 30 minutes.
Using ultra-fine needles, a neurotoxin is injected into specific facial muscles. This purified protein temporarily blocks nerve signals to the muscles, reducing their activity. The result is a smoother, more relaxed appearance in the treated areas. The precise techniques used at Mr Wilson’s clinic ensure that the injections are strategically placed to achieve natural-looking results. This approach allows patients to retain their facial expressions while minimising the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
The active ingredient in wrinkle reduction injections, is a purified form of botulinum toxin. This neurotoxin works by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. By reducing muscle activity, the underlying tissues do not furrow and the skin above appears smoother and less creased. These effects are localised to the treated areas, ensuring that untreated muscles continue to function normally. This targeted approach means patients can enjoy a rejuvenated look without an unnatural or ‘frozen’ appearance.
Benefits
Wrinkle reduction injections offer a range of benefits, including:
Post-Operative Recovery
After the treatment, patients can resume their normal activities immediately as downtime is limited. Some individuals may experience redness, mild swelling, and bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days.
The results of wrinkle reduction injections are not instantaneous. It typically takes 3-5 days for the initial effects to become noticeable, with full results appearing after 10-14 days. Patients will notice a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin looking smoother and more youthful.
The effects of wrinkle reduction injections last, on average, 3-6 months. Over time, the treated muscles regain their activity and wrinkles may reappear. To maintain the outcome, patients can schedule regular touch-up treatments. Consistent care helps to prolong the effects and may even reduce the severity of wrinkles over time.
Mr Paul Wilson and his team work closely with patients to develop a maintenance plan tailored to their needs and aesthetic goals.

Wrinkle reduction injections involve minimal discomfort and are generally well-tolerated. The procedure uses ultra-fine needles, and many products contain a local anaesthetic to enhance comfort. Additionally, a topical numbing cream can be applied to sensitive areas before the treatment. Most patients report feeling only a slight pinch or pressure during the injections. The expertise at Mr Wilson’s clinic ensures a gentle and precise technique, helping to make the experience as comfortable as possible. For those concerned about discomfort, options can be discussed during the consultation to address individual needs and ensure a positive treatment experience.
The risks associated with wrinkle reduction injections are minimal when performed by an experienced professional. Temporary side effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. In less common cases, patients may experience headaches or minor drooping of nearby muscles, which typically resolve within a few weeks. Serious complications are exceedingly uncommon and are reduced by selecting a skilled practitioner. During the consultation, your practitioner discusses potential risks and answers any questions, ensuring patients are fully informed and confident in their decision. Following aftercare advice further minimises risks and enhances results.
Aftercare for wrinkle reduction injections is simple. Patients are advised to avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to allow the product to settle. Refrain from strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, and exposure to excessive heat (such as saunas) for the first 24-48 hours to minimise swelling. Stay upright for 4 hours post-treatment and avoid applying makeup to the treated area during this time. Any redness or swelling usually subsides quickly. Personalised aftercare instructions are provided to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, prioritising patient satisfaction and safety.
Multiple areas can be treated during a single wrinkle reduction session. Common combinations include treating forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Treating multiple areas simultaneously saves time and ensures a harmonious, balanced outcome.
