Anti-wrinkle injections are the most popular and well-known aesthetic treatment and are ideal for treating fine lines and wrinkles and form part of a wider treatment plan which can address several other conditions. More often referred to by certain brand names, anti-wrinkle injections temporarily reduce or eliminate facial fine lines and wrinkles. The most commonly treated areas are frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet near the eyes.
Before administering anti-wrinkle injections patients will undergo a consultation with a doctor which will include a discussion regarding your aesthetic concerns and goals as well as a full review of your medical history.
The benefits of anti-wrinkle injections are:
Both our doctors are highly skilled at this procedure having been practicing for many years. Dr Langdon has been recognised as one of the UK’s best injectors and is a Country Expert for Teoxane. Dr Paris is also exceptionally skilled being dual qualified as a dentist and as a doctor and is a trainer for UK’s oldest training college Cosmetic Courses.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a fundamental part of most facial treatment protocols which can also include dermal fillers, Morpheus8, Ultherapy, and laser treatments. For those concerned with extra weight around their chin then we have great success treating this area with CoolSculpting.
Anti-wrinkle injections are used to treat fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment is administered based on areas of the face and performed by a medical professional. At Berkshire Aesthetics the procedure is performed by either Dr Langdon or Dr Paris, both experts in facial aesthetics. Dr langdon trained in Plastic surgery while Dr Paris is dual qualified as both a dentist and a doctor specialising in facial surgery in the NHS.
Anti-wrinkle injections are used in aesthetics to smooth crow’s feet, forehead furrows, frown lines, lip lines and bunny lines, diminish neck bands, improve the appearance of skin dimpling of the chin, lift the corners of the mouth and correct a gummy smile.
Anti-wrinkle injections are also used to treat a number of medical conditions including blepharospasm, Idiopathic cervical dystonia, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), hemifacial spasm, leakage of urine due to bladder problems associated with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis.
Anti-wrinkle injections work by blocking the transition of chemical messages sent from the nerve to cause the muscle to contract. Without these messages, the muscle stays in a resting state until the ‘messengers’ recover.
People often request the injections to treat lines and wrinkles. The treatment can be used in the following areas of the face:
Typically patients start having treatment with anti-wrinkle injections once lines and wrinkles begin to appear when the face is at rest and can be used in lower doses at a younger age to prevent lines becoming deep or heavy.
Treatment with anti-wrinkle injections take around 30 minutes.
Some patients may experience a mild stinging sensation form the injection but the discomfort experienced is minimal as a very fine needle is used. No local anaesthetic is required. Any small bumps at the site of injection usually resolve within 30 minutes, with no significant downtime.
Typically, one session is recommended every 3 to 4 months. Over time the treatment will wear off and you will notice movement slowly come back.
Prior to your appointment we ask that patients should do the following:
Anti-wrinkle injections were first approved for use in 1989 and when delivered by an experienced medical professional are very safe.
Anti-wrinkle injections involve no downtime and you can usually return to your normal activities straight away. Any small bumps at the site of injection usually resolve within 30 minutes.
Most side effects of anti-wrinkle injections are usually temporary and restricted to the area of injection. It is important that you only allow registered medical professionals to perform anti-wrinkle injections to ensure that the procedure is performed safely, and any issues can be resolved effectively. Common side effects include, redness, bruising, swelling and headache. Rarely there can be drooping of the eyebrow or eyelid, with possible double vision which is very rare.
The effect of the treatment will begin around three days but take up to 14 days to be fully active.
Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours. This may help prevent the toxin from spreading to a different area. You can return to your normal activities right after the procedure.

In the preliminary consultation I was given very useful information, Dr Langdon was warm and very supportive. Following my consultation I went for the procedure a few months later and was made to feel comfortable on my arrival by the members of staff in reception. I went for my treatment which was done by Dr Paris who was warm and reassuring and answered all my questions. I was very nervous and self-aware and Dr Paris was able to make me feel in good hands, safe and comfortable. I am very happy with the outcome of my treatment and will feel comfortable to book any future treatments with Berkshire Aesthetics when needed. Many thanks. read less

I researched the best place to go for a consultation as am quite worried when you see disasters after fillers and wanted to find the best consultant. I called Berkshire Aesthetics and found them to be very informative. I booked a consultation on the phone and was sent a questionnaire to complete before arrival. On arrival I felt very at ease with the reception and the general feeling was very positive. I had a chat with Dr Selena Langdon and left feeling very optimistic and comfortable with the advice given. I have booked an appointment to go ahead with the procedure. read less

Barbara was so friendly and welcoming & took a great history, she explained the images taken to me & recommended a treatment plan, products to use alongside make up, dietary & supplement advice which have all worked wonders! I have been back for reviews with Barbara since and have had some hydrafacials which have been great. My skin is 100% better and it’s improving every time. I can’t believe the improvement in my overall skin health and am sorry I didn’t come to see Barbara years ago, she’s an absolute superstar 🌟 I would highly recommend Berkshire aesthetics ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read less
