Anti-wrinkle injections are designed to soften the appearance of expression lines by temporarily relaxing selected facial muscles. This helps smooth existing wrinkles while reducing the repetitive movements that contribute to deeper lines forming over time.

When carefully tailored to your facial anatomy and goals, the result is a softer, fresher, and more rejuvenated appearance that still feels natural and authentically you.

Anti-wrinkle treatments are not immediate. You may begin to notice subtle changes within a few days, with your full result typically developing over 10–14 days as the treated muscles gradually relax.

Most clients enjoy their results for approximately 3–4 months before movement slowly begins to return. Longevity varies between individuals and can be influenced by factors such as muscle strength, metabolism, treatment area, and previous treatment history.

Regular treatments can help maintain a consistently refreshed appearance and may contribute to the prevention of deeper lines over time.

To help minimise bruising, we recommend avoiding alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen) for 24–48 hours before treatment where possible. Please arrive with a clean face and ensure any medical history and consent forms sent to you have been completed prior to your appointment.

We also encourage you to let us know about any medications, health conditions, or recent cosmetic treatments so we can provide the safest and most personalised care possible.

Anti-wrinkle treatments require little to no downtime, and most clients return to their normal daily activities immediately. You may experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or small bumps at the injection sites, which typically settle within a few hours. Occasional bruising can occur and usually resolves within several days.

As your treatment begins to take effect over the following days, you can expect a gradual softening of lines and a fresher, more rested appearance.

To achieve the best possible result, we recommend avoiding rubbing or massaging the treated areas, strenuous exercise, and lying flat for the first 4 hours following treatment.

For the first 24 hours, avoid excessive heat, saunas, steam rooms, and alcohol consumption. Following these simple aftercare guidelines helps optimise your results and supports a smooth recovery.

Anti-wrinkle injections may not be suitable for everyone. Treatment is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for individuals with certain neurological conditions, active infections, or specific medical concerns.

Your suitability for treatment will always be carefully assessed during your consultation to ensure treatment is both safe and appropriate for you.

Yes. Every anti-wrinkle treatment at Elevate Aesthetics begins with a comprehensive consultation and facial assessment.

This allows us to understand your concerns, discuss your goals, review your medical history, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique facial anatomy. Our priority is always achieving safe, natural-looking results that complement your individual features.
