Berkshire Aesthetics is a doctor-led, CQC-registered aesthetic clinic in Maidenhead. All treatments begin with a consultation to assess suitability, medical history, risks and realistic outcomes.
Anti-wrinkle injections vs fillers
Anti-wrinkle injections are generally used to reduce selected muscle movement that causes dynamic lines. Dermal fillers are used for selected volume, contour or support. Suitability depends on anatomy, medical history and the type of line or facial change being treated.
Book a consultation| Consideration | Anti-wrinkle injections | Dermal fillers |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Dynamic expression lines and selected muscle-related concerns | Volume loss, contour and selected static folds |
| Not suitable for | Lines caused mainly by volume loss or skin laxity | Lines caused mainly by repeated muscle movement |
| Downtime | Usually minimal; bruising can occur | Bruising and swelling can occur and vary by area |
| Sessions | Typically reviewed and maintained periodically | Depends on treatment area and product choice |
| Cost considerations | Usually priced by treatment area | Usually depends on product amount and complexity |
When we might recommend neither treatment
- Your medical history or current skin condition makes treatment unsafe.
- Your goals would be better served by delaying treatment, using skincare first, or seeking medical diagnosis.
- The expected improvement is unlikely to justify the risk, downtime or cost.
What to ask at consultation
- Which concern are we treating: skin quality, volume, laxity, texture or muscle activity?
- What are the realistic benefits and limitations for my anatomy or skin type?
- What are the main risks, downtime and aftercare requirements?
- How many sessions might be needed and when would we review progress?
