Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (like frown lines and crow's feet). Dermal fillers add volume to the skin to smooth static wrinkles, restore lost volume, and enhance facial contours. Many clients benefit from a combination of both treatments.

Anti-wrinkle injections typically last 3-4 months, while dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6-18 months depending on the product used and the area treated. We use only premium, clinically proven products for optimal, long-lasting results.

Most clients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions with every treatment.

Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. Anti-wrinkle injections feel like a quick pinch, and dermal fillers contain lidocaine (a local anaesthetic) to ensure your comfort during treatment.

Your first consultation is a comprehensive assessment of your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. We discuss your concerns, examine your facial structure, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to you. There is no obligation to proceed.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and vigorous exercise 24-48 hours before treatment to minimise bruising. Stay hydrated and arrive with a clean face (no makeup). We'll provide full preparation instructions when you book.
