Anti-Wrinkle Injection Treatments

Anti-wrinkle injections are ideal for adults who want to soften visible signs of ageing without altering their natural features or undergoing surgery. Treatment is suitable for both women and men experiencing early to moderate facial lines or those wishing to prevent new ones from forming.

Candidates often include:

• Individuals with dynamic lines on the forehead, around the eyes, or between the brows.
• Clients seeking subtle facial rejuvenation for a fresher appearance.
• Those who prefer a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures.
• People looking to maintain smooth, youthful-looking skin as part of a preventative regimen.

Shikha conducts every consultation personally to assess muscle activity, skin quality, and overall suitability. Treatments are only offered when medically appropriate and aligned with your aesthetic goals.

Your treatment begins with a detailed medical consultation to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and map out the areas to be treated. Shikha takes a highly individualised approach, analysing facial movement and balance to determine the precise placement and dosage of the product.

Once your treatment plan is confirmed:

1. The skin is gently cleansed and marked for precision.
2. Fine micro-needles are used to administer small amounts of the chosen formulation (Azzalure or Reltydess).
3. The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort.

Treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines (glabellar region), crow’s feet, chin dimpling, and fine lines around the lips. Some clients also choose additional areas such as neck bands or a brow lift for a comprehensive facial refresh.

Results start to become visible within 3 to 5 days, with full effects typically achieved after 10 to 14 days. The treated areas appear smoother and more relaxed while retaining natural facial movement.

The longevity of results varies depending on individual muscle activity and lifestyle, but most clients enjoy visible benefits for around 3 to 4 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain results and prevent deeper lines from forming over time.

When performed by a qualified medical practitioner, anti-wrinkle injections are considered extremely safe with minimal recovery time. Common side effects are mild and temporary, including slight redness or pinpoint swelling at the injection sites.

Less common side effects may include:

• Minor bruising or tenderness that fades within a few days.
• Mild headache after treatment.
• Temporary asymmetry if the muscles settle unevenly (rare and correctable).

You can return to work or normal activities immediately after treatment. Exercise, alcohol, and makeup should be avoided for the first 24 hours to minimise the risk of irritation or bruising.

We provide detailed aftercare advice following every procedure. You may be advised to gently move the treated areas during the first hour to help the product settle evenly, but avoid touching or rubbing the skin. Sleeping face-down should be avoided on the first night.

Shikha recommends a follow-up appointment around 2 weeks post-treatment to review your results and make any minor adjustments if necessary. This ensures an even and natural finish every time.

For clients looking to address deeper lines, skin laxity, or overall rejuvenation, we may recommend complementary options such as:

• Dermal Fillers for restoring volume and contour.
• Skin Boosters (Profhilo) for hydrating and improving skin texture.
• Microneedling or Polynucleotide treatments for collagen stimulation and long-term skin health.

For those with functional concerns such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), teeth grinding, or migraines, we also offer Medical Botox Treatments, administered by Shikha under clinical protocols.

How do anti-wrinkle injections differ from fillers?

Anti-wrinkle injections target muscle activity to smooth dynamic lines, while dermal fillers add volume beneath the skin to restore structure. They can be combined for a complete facial rejuvenation plan.

Are anti-wrinkle injections painful?

The procedure involves only minor discomfort. A fine needle and careful technique make the process quick and well-tolerated. Some clients describe it as a light pinprick sensation.

Will my face look frozen or expressionless?

No. Shikha’s approach focuses on preserving natural expression. The aim is refinement, not restriction, ensuring you still look like yourself — just refreshed.

How long does the treatment take?

Most appointments last around 30 minutes, including consultation and aftercare guidance. There’s no downtime, so you can return to normal activity straightaway.

When will I need my next session?

Maintenance sessions are usually scheduled every 3 to 4 months, depending on individual muscle strength and aesthetic goals. Over time, results may last longer as muscles adapt.

Can I combine this treatment with others?

Yes. Anti-wrinkle injections can safely be combined with treatments such as dermal fillers, Profhilo, and microneedling to enhance results and support skin quality. Your practitioner will create a tailored plan based on your needs.
