Wrinkle Relaxing Injections

Wrinkle relaxing injections are one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for softening facial lines caused by repeated expression. Over time, movements such as smiling, frowning, and squinting cause the skin to crease. As the skin gradually loses elasticity with age, these lines can become more visible even when the face is at rest.

Wrinkle relaxing injections work by temporarily reducing the activity of specific facial muscles responsible for these expression lines. As the muscle relaxes, the overlying skin becomes smoother and the face appears more refreshed and rested.

When performed with precision and a conservative approach, the treatment can soften lines while maintaining natural facial expression. At our clinic, treatments are tailored to each patient’s facial anatomy with the aim of achieving subtle, natural-looking results.

Areas commonly treated :

Wrinkle relaxing injections can improve a number of common concerns including:

Forehead lines
Frown lines between the eyebrows

Treatment can also help prevent the deepening of expression lines over time by reducing repeated muscle contraction.

What happens during treatment?

Treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess facial anatomy, muscle activity, and your aesthetic goals.

A series of very small injections are placed into carefully selected facial muscles. The procedure usually takes only a few minutes and most patients find it very comfortable.

There is typically no downtime, and normal daily activities can usually be resumed immediately after treatment.

When will I see results?

Results develop gradually.
Initial changes are usually start to become visible within 3–5 days.
Full results develop over 10–14 days.

The relaxing effect typically lasts three to four months, after which muscle activity slowly returns. Many patients choose to maintain results with periodic treatment.

A natural approach

 The goal of wrinkle relaxing injections is not to eliminate expression, but to soften excessive muscle activity while preserving natural facial movement.

 When performed with careful dosing and an experienced aesthetic eye, the treatment simply allows patients to look more refreshed, relaxed and well rested.

A consultation allows us to assess your concerns, discuss treatment options, and determine whether wrinkle relaxing injections are appropriate for you.

 Treatment plans are always individualised to achieve natural, balanced results.
