ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS
Anti-wrinkle injections are a popular non-surgical way to soften expression lines. A tiny amount of a prescription-only medicine is used to temporarily relax the muscles that cause expression lines, so the skin above them looks smoother and fresher.
At Ampika's Aesthetics in Marylebone, London and Hale, Cheshire, every anti-wrinkle treatment starts with a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber. Your plan is built around your facial anatomy, your expressions and the result you want, so you look rested and refreshed, never frozen.
TREATMENT TIME
30 to 45 minutes, including your assessment
CONSULTATION FIRST
A face-to-face assessment with a prescriber before every treatment
DOWNTIME
Little to none. Most clients go straight back to their day
RESULTS
Gradual softening from 3 to 14 days, typically lasting 3 to 4 months
ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Every time you frown, smile or raise your eyebrows, the muscles under your skin contract and fold it. In your twenties the skin bounces back. Over time, as collagen and elastin decline, these folds turn into lines that stay even when your face is relaxed. These are called dynamic wrinkles, and they are what anti-wrinkle treatment is designed to soften. By relaxing only the muscles responsible, the treatment smooths existing lines and slows the formation of new ones. Because the dose is placed precisely, the surrounding muscles keep working, so you can still smile, laugh and express yourself naturally. Our standard treatment covers the three most requested areas: forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet. We allocate up to 95 units per client. If units remain after your main areas, they may be used on other suitable areas identified at your assessment.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Your Consultation
Your practitioner will ask about your concerns, check your medical history and medications, and watch how your face moves. They will explain the benefits, risks, likely results and aftercare before you sign your consent form. If a separate consultation is needed before treatment, we will arrange a short appointment a few days beforehand.
Your Treatment
The skin is cleansed and the injection points are marked. Using a very fine needle, small amounts are placed into the chosen muscles. The injections take only a few minutes, and most clients describe a quick, mild pinch. There is no need for numbing cream. Straight
After
You may see small raised bumps at the injection points for 20 to 30 minutes and occasional light redness. You can return to work or your day straight away.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Anti-wrinkle treatment suits adults who want to soften expression lines or prevent them from deepening. You must be 18 or over, and we will ask for photo ID. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, if you have certain neuromuscular conditions, or if you have an infection at the treatment site. If you have had anti-wrinkle treatment in the last three months, we will move your booking to a suitable date. If our prescriber finds you are not suitable on the day, the treatment will not go ahead and you will receive a full refund. Results vary from person to person.
How Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Works
Expression lines form where muscles repeatedly pull on the skin. Anti-wrinkle treatment temporarily blocks the nerve signals that tell a muscle to contract. The treated muscle relaxes, so the skin above it is no longer creased and can smooth out.
The effect starts to appear after 3 to 5 days and reaches its full result at around 2 weeks. Over the following months, muscle activity gradually returns. Many clients find that with regular treatment their lines become softer over time, because the skin has been creased less often.
Areas We Treat
Your prescriber will recommend the areas that will give you the most natural, balanced result.
Forehead Lines
Horizontal lines across the forehead appear when you raise your eyebrows. Treatment softens these lines while keeping enough movement for a natural look, and is often combined with frown lines for balance.
Frown Lines
The vertical "11" lines between the brows can make you look stressed or tired even when you are not. Relaxing the frown muscles gives a calmer, more open expression.
Crow's Feet
The fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes when you smile. Treatment smooths the eye area and brightens your whole face.
Brow Lift
Small, precise doses relax the muscles that pull the brows down. The brows lift slightly, opening up the eyes and reducing a heavy or hooded look, all without surgery.
Lip Flip, Gummy Smile and Bunny Lines
A lip flip gently turns the upper lip outward for a fuller look without filler. A gummy smile treatment reduces how much gum shows when you smile, and bunny line treatment softens the creases on the sides of the nose.
Lower Face, Jawline and Neck
Advanced treatments for a dimpled "pebble" chin, downturned mouth corners, jawline slimming and neck bands. A neck lift relaxes the platysma bands to give a smoother neck and sharper jawline.
