Why we start with a consultation
Every treatment begins with a medical assessment. We need to understand your medical history, current health, skin condition and concerns before prescribing any procedure. This protects your safety and ensures the treatment is clinically appropriate for you.
During your consultation, your clinician will explain what the treatment can realistically achieve, any risks specific to you, and whether an alternative might be more appropriate. Consultations are carried out by our doctors or advanced aesthetic practitioners, depending on the treatment or concern being assessed.

What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections use small, targeted doses of botulinum toxin type A (a neuromodulator) to temporarily relax selected muscles that create expression lines. By reducing repeated contraction, the overlying skin can appear smoother and less creased while you still retain normal, natural movement. This treatment is most commonly used for dynamic lines such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet, and can also be used in selected lower-face and neck indications.
At Berkshire Aesthetics, treatment is medically assessed and doctor-administered in our Maidenhead clinic. We review your anatomy, medical history, goals and previous treatment response before planning dose and placement. If your primary concern is broader skin ageing, we may combine or stage treatment alongside other options for lines and wrinkles.
What Can They Treat?
Frown lines
Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) are caused by repeated muscle contraction when concentrating or squinting. A targeted neuromodulator approach can reduce this movement and soften the vertical lines while keeping natural expression.
Forehead lines
Horizontal forehead lines can appear more prominent over time, especially in patients with strong frontalis activity. Treatment planning here is anatomical and conservative to reduce lines while maintaining balanced brow position.
Crow's feet
Crow's feet at the outer eye area are dynamic smile lines that often respond well to small, precise doses. The goal is to soften creasing without creating a stiff or over-treated appearance.
Brow lift
A subtle chemical brow lift may be possible in selected patients by relaxing muscles that pull the brow down. This is not a surgical lift, but it can create a fresher, more open look when clinically appropriate.
Masseter (jaw slimming)
Masseter treatment can reduce muscle bulk in patients with jaw clenching or a broader lower-face shape related to muscle hypertrophy. Changes develop gradually over weeks and are reviewed to preserve functional chewing comfort.
Neck bands
Platysmal neck bands can become more visible with age, movement and skin laxity. Careful placement can soften band prominence, usually as part of a broader lower-face and neck treatment plan.
What to Expect at Berkshire Aesthetics
Your first appointment is a medical consultation. We assess suitability, take a relevant history, review medications, discuss your treatment goals and explain expected outcomes and limitations. We then create a personalised plan based on muscle strength, facial balance and your preference for subtle versus more noticeable softening. Our standards follow our consultation-first policy, so treatment is clinically justified rather than one-size-fits-all.
All anti-wrinkle injections are delivered by one of our GMC-registered doctors, with overall clinical oversight by Dr Selena Langdon (GMC 6159259) as Medical Director. Treatment itself is usually quick, with minimal downtime and clear aftercare instructions before you leave. We routinely arrange a two-week review to assess outcome, check symmetry and confirm whether any conservative adjustment is needed. To arrange assessment, you can book directly via our contact page.
Results, Longevity & Maintenance
Initial changes are usually noticed from day 3 to 5, with full effect around two weeks. Results typically last around 3 to 4 months, although duration varies by treatment area, muscle activity and individual metabolism. Regular maintenance can help preserve consistent outcomes and may allow longer intervals in some patients over time. Treatment plans are reviewed at each visit and adjusted as needed for a natural, balanced result. For current fees and area-based pricing, see our price list.
Safety & Suitability
We are a CQC-registered clinic. Injectable prescribing and treatment decisions are made by our GMC-registered doctors, with overall clinical governance led by Dr Selena Langdon (GMC 6159259) as Medical Director. Anti-wrinkle injections involve prescription-only medicine, so treatment is provided only after a face-to-face medical assessment and informed consent process. We discuss expected benefits, limitations, common side effects and rare complications before treatment.
Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding and may be unsuitable with certain neuromuscular conditions, active infection at the injection site, specific allergies, or interacting medication. Your suitability is always assessed individually to prioritise safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?
Most patients see results for around 3 to 4 months. Duration varies by treatment area, muscle activity and individual metabolism, and regular maintenance can help keep outcomes consistent.
Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?
When prescribed and administered appropriately after medical assessment, anti-wrinkle injections are generally well tolerated. At Berkshire Aesthetics, treatment is doctor-led in a CQC-registered setting with clear consent and aftercare.
Will I still look natural?
Yes, that is our standard approach. We use conservative, anatomy-led dosing to soften lines while preserving expression and avoiding an over-treated appearance.
How much do anti-wrinkle injections cost in Maidenhead?
Pricing depends on treatment area and dosage required. You can view current fees on our prices page, and final costing is confirmed after your consultation and treatment plan.
What's the difference between anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers?
Anti-wrinkle injections reduce muscle movement that causes dynamic lines. Dermal fillers restore or enhance volume and contour, so the two treatments address different concerns and are sometimes combined.
Can I have anti-wrinkle injections if I'm pregnant?
No. We do not treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If this applies to you, we can discuss safe timing and alternative skincare-led options.
How soon will I see results?
Early changes are often noticeable from day 3 to 5, with full effect typically around two weeks. We usually review outcomes at approximately 14 days.
Do anti-wrinkle injections hurt?
Most patients describe mild, brief stinging rather than pain. We use very fine needles and treatment is usually quick, commonly taking around 15 to 20 minutes.
What is micro-dosing for anti-wrinkle injections?
Micro-dosing refers to using lower doses of anti-wrinkle product to achieve a very subtle softening effect while preserving more natural facial movement. It is popular with patients who want a preventative approach or a lighter result. At Berkshire Aesthetics, our anatomy-led dosing already prioritises natural outcomes, so this lighter approach aligns closely with how we treat.
How much do anti-wrinkle injections cost?
Pricing starts from £240 and depends on the number of areas treated and the dose required. We provide transparent pricing at consultation, and you can view our current fees on our prices page. Final costs are confirmed after your assessment so there are no surprises.
Can anti-wrinkle injections help with jaw clenching?
Yes. Injecting into the masseter muscles can reduce their activity, which may help relieve jaw clenching and teeth grinding (bruxism). This treatment also slims the lower face by reducing masseter bulk. A clinical assessment is needed to confirm suitability and determine the appropriate dose.
What’s the difference between anti-wrinkle injections and skin boosters?
Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing muscles to reduce dynamic lines, while skin boosters such as Profhilo or SkinVive improve skin hydration, elasticity and overall quality without affecting muscle movement. The two treatments address different concerns and are often complementary. You can read a detailed comparison on our anti-wrinkle injections vs skin boosters page.
Can men have anti-wrinkle injections?
Absolutely. Anti-wrinkle injections are suitable for men and women alike. Male patients typically have stronger facial muscles and may require slightly higher doses to achieve the same degree of softening. We tailor dosing and injection patterns to masculine facial anatomy to ensure natural-looking results.
How do I know if I need anti-wrinkle injections or fillers?
It depends on the type of lines you have. Dynamic lines — those that appear with facial movement — respond to anti-wrinkle injections. Static lines and volume loss are better addressed with dermal fillers. Many patients benefit from a combination of both. Your consultation will clarify which treatment, or combination, is right for your concerns. See our anti-wrinkle injections vs fillers comparison for more detail.
