When performed by a suitably qualified medical professional using licensed products in a clinical environment, anti-wrinkle injections are considered a safe, well-established treatment. As with any medical procedure, there are potential side effects and risks, which we will explain clearly before you decide to go ahead, and we will only treat you if it is medically appropriate to do so.

Our approach at The Walton Practice is to soften lines, not to completely switch off all movement. By tailoring the dose to your individual muscle strength and focusing on specific areas, we can smooth wrinkles while preserving natural expression so you still look like you – just more relaxed and refreshed.

Most people find anti-wrinkle injections very manageable. The needles used are extremely fine, and the injections are quick, so any discomfort is brief. You may feel a slight scratch or sting at each injection site, but this usually settles within moments, and you can return to normal activities shortly afterwards.

You will usually start to see an improvement in lines within a few days, with full results visible at around two weeks. The effects typically last three to four months, after which muscle activity gradually returns and lines slowly reappear. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain your results over time.

Yes, anti-wrinkle injections are often combined with other facial aesthetic treatments as part of a personalised plan. Many patients choose to pair them with dermal fillers for added volume and contour, or with cheek fillers, chin fillers or lip fillers to enhance facial balance. At your consultation, we will always recommend a conservative, natural-looking approach that feels right for you.
