Yes — when performed correctly, anti-wrinkle injections should not “freeze” your face. The treatment is designed to relax specific muscles that cause lines and wrinkles, while leaving the surrounding muscles free to move as normal. This means you’ll still be able to smile, frown, and show expression, just with a smoother and more refreshed look. The goal is always a natural result, not an overdone or expressionless appearance.

Most people start to notice results within 3–5 days, with the full effect becoming visible around 10–14 days after treatment. The exact timing can vary depending on factors such as your metabolism, muscle strength, and the area treated. Once the results have fully developed, you can expect a smoother, refreshed appearance that typically lasts around 3–4 months before a top-up may be needed.

The effects of anti-wrinkle injections usually last around 3 to 4 months. Over time, the treated muscles gradually regain movement as the product wears off. Some people may notice results lasting a little shorter or longer depending on factors such as individual metabolism, lifestyle, muscle activity, and whether it’s their first treatment. With regular maintenance, many clients find the results last longer as the muscles become more trained to relax.

Most people find anti-wrinkle injections very comfortable. The needles used are extremely fine, and the treatment itself is usually described as a quick, mild stinging or pinching sensation rather than real pain. The procedure is over within minutes, and no anaesthetic is typically required. If you’re concerned, a numbing cream or ice can be applied to make the experience even more comfortable.

Anti-wrinkle injections are considered very safe when carried out by a trained professional. Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as slight redness, swelling, or tiny bruises at the injection sites. These usually settle within a few hours to a couple of days. Less common side effects can include mild headaches or a feeling of tightness in the treated area, which also resolve on their own. Serious complications are extremely rare. Before treatment, we will discuss your medical history to make sure the procedure is suitable for you and explain how to minimise any risks.

Yes, anti-wrinkle injections can often be safely combined with other aesthetic treatments to enhance your results. Many clients choose to pair them with dermal fillers for added volume, microneedling to improve skin quality, or medical-grade facials for overall skin health. The best combination depends on your goals — whether that’s softening lines, restoring volume, or improving texture and glow. Your practitioner will assess your needs and design a tailored treatment plan to ensure everything works together safely and effectively.
