Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

Upper Face Areas

These core areas can be treated individually or combined (1, 2, or 3 areas) for a harmonious, refreshed look:

• Forehead Lines: Softens horizontal expression lines across the forehead.
• Frown Lines (Glabella): Smooths the vertical “11” lines between the eyebrows.
• Crow’s Feet: Softens fine laughter lines around the outer corners of the eyes.

Lower Face & Neck

A targeted treatment to restore definition and smooth the neck profile:

• Nefertiti Neck Lift: Relaxes vertical neck bands to define, smooth and lift the lower jawline and neck contour.

Precision Add-On Areas

Subtle focal refinements performed alongside your upper face treatment:

• Brow Lift: Gently elevates drooping brows to create a more open, rested eye area.
• Lip Flip: Gently curls the top lip outward for subtle fullness without filler.
• Gummy Smile: Reduces excessive gum show when smiling.
• Pebble Chin: Smooths dimpling and texture on the chin (orange-peel effect).
• Downturned Mouth Corners: Elevates sad or resting downward mouth angles.
• Bunny Lines & Nose Tip Lift: Smooths wrinkles across the bridge of the nose or gently elevates a drooping nasal tip.

1. How Botulinum Toxin Works

Botulinum toxin is a purified protein and muscle relaxant that works by temporarily easing muscle contractions in targeted areas of the face. By allowing overactive facial muscles to relax, existing lines and wrinkles soften significantly, while the formation of deeper future lines is prevented.

2. Comprehensive Consultation

Every treatment begins with an in-depth medical consultation with one of our experienced doctors. We review your medical history, discuss your specific aesthetic goals, and carefully assess your facial movement to design a subtle, bespoke treatment plan.

3. The Procedure & Sensation

• Quick & Precise: Administered via a series of ultrafine micro-injections directly into the targeted muscles.
• Minimal Discomfort: Most clients describe the sensation as a minor pinprick or light sting; no local anaesthetic is required.
• Zero Downtime: The procedure takes around 15–20 minutes, allowing you to return to normal daily activities immediately.
• Aftercare & Follow-Up: Mild redness or small bumps at the injection sites usually settle within a few hours. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided, and we offer complimentary review appointments to ensure you are completely satisfied with your outcome.

4. Results & Maintenance

• Onset: Unlike dermal fillers which give immediate volume, anti-wrinkle injections take 3 to 5 days to begin working, with full, smoothed results visible at 10 to 14 days.
• Longevity: Using genuine Allergan Botox®, results typically last 3 to 4 months before muscle action gradually returns.
• Sustained Benefits: Treatment benefits are cumulative—regular maintenance sessions every 3–4 months help maintain smooth skin and prevent deeper crease formation over time.

Effective, Doctor-Led Relief from Underarm Sweating

Excessive sweating (primary axillary hyperhidrosis) is a common condition that can cause daily frustration and embarrassment. Botulinum toxin injections offer a safe, highly effective medical solution by temporarily blocking the chemical signals that stimulate sweat glands—dramatically reducing underarm perspiration and restoring day-to-day confidence.

Consultation & Assessment

Every treatment begins with a comprehensive medical consultation with one of our doctors. We review your medical history, discuss the severity of your symptoms, and ensure that treatment is safe and suitable for your specific needs.

The Procedure & Comfort

• Quick & Minimally Invasive: Using ultrafine needles, the doctor administers a series of small, shallow injections across the underarm area.
• Comfortable Treatment: The procedure takes around 20–30 minutes and causes minimal discomfort.
• Zero Downtime: You can return to normal daily activities immediately following your appointment.
• Post-Treatment Care: Mild temporary redness or swelling may occur at the injection sites for a few hours. We provide clear aftercare advice and offer complimentary follow-up reviews.

Expected Results & Longevity

• Onset: Sweat reduction typically begins within 3 to 7 days, with optimal dryness reached at 2 weeks.
• Duration: Results typically last between 6 to 9 months (and in some cases up to a year), depending on individual metabolic rates.
• Maintenance: Treatments can be safely repeated once sweat production gradually begins to return.

Important Points to Consider Before Having Injectables

Anti-wrinkle injections are prescription-only medical procedures. When choosing a clinic, we recommend checking the following to ensure your safety and optimal aesthetic results:

• Practitioner Credentials: Ensure your injector is an experienced, registered medical professional (such as a doctor or surgeon) with verified clinical qualifications.

• Product Quality: Verify that authentic, clinically proven products (such as Allergan Botox®) are used rather than unregulated, generic alternatives.

• Clinical Environment: Treatments should always be carried out in a clean, regulated medical setting rather than non-clinical spaces.

• Prescription Regulations: Be cautious of unusually cheap prices or special promotional discounts; UK regulations strictly prohibit inducements and discount promotions on prescription-only medicines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I discuss my options with the doctor before committing to injectable treatment?

Yes. We provide comprehensive, free consultations with our aesthetic doctors. This gives you the opportunity to discuss your medical history, explore your goals, and receive honest clinical advice regarding realistic results before making any decisions.

Who will perform my treatment?

At The Artemis Clinic, every consultation, injection procedure, and follow-up review is performed exclusively by fully registered medical doctors with extensive training in facial anatomy and medical aesthetics.

Which anti-wrinkle product do you use?

We exclusively use genuine Botox® manufactured by Allergan. As the original, gold-standard neurotoxin on the market, Allergan Botox® is backed by extensive peer-reviewed clinical research and decades of proven safety and predictable results.

Why is there a supplement for male anti-wrinkle treatments?

Male facial muscles are naturally denser and stronger than female muscles. To achieve an effective and natural result, male patients typically require substantially higher volumes of product. A £50 supplement per area reflects the extra product required to effectively treat male facial anatomy.

Will anti-wrinkle injections completely remove deep frown lines?

If a crease is etched into the skin at rest, it represents a structural break in dermal collagen and will not vanish after a few treatments. Softening deep lines is a gradual process requiring repeated sessions over time, often paired with skin-rejuvenation treatments like medical microneedling to rebuild collagen.

What happens to the product once it wears off?

Botulinum toxin is safely and naturally broken down by your body’s metabolic processes over 3 to 4 months. It leaves no permanent trace or residue, and muscle movement gradually returns to its pre-treatment state.

What aftercare is provided?

Comprehensive written aftercare guidance is emailed to you immediately following your visit. We also offer complimentary follow-up reviews within 2 to 4 weeks should you wish to have your results assessed by your doctor.
