ANTI WRINKLE TREATMENTS
Anti-wrinkle treatments are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that contribute to the formation of dynamic lines and wrinkles. These treatments can help create a smoother, more refreshed appearance while maintaining natural facial expression.
At Barkers Road Dermatology every treatment is tailored to your individual facial anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals to achieve balanced and natural-looking results.
How does the treatment work?
Anti-wrinkle treatments work by temporarily reducing the activity of specific facial muscles. As the muscles relax, the overlying skin appears smoother and dynamic wrinkles become less noticeable.
Treatment involves a series of small injections into carefully selected muscles and is typically completed within 15–30 minutes.
What can anti-wrinkle treatments help with?
Anti-wrinkle treatments may assist with:
Forehead lines
Frown lines between the eyebrows
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Bunny lines on the nose
Chin dimpling
Downturned corners of the mouth
Jawline slimming (masseter treatment)
Excessive teeth grinding and jaw clenching
Facial asymmetry
Prevention of deeper wrinkle formation
What to expect during treatment
A comprehensive consultation is performed by our cosmetic nurse prior to treatment to assess your concerns and discuss your desired outcome.
Most clients experience minimal discomfort, and no downtime is usually required, allowing you to return to most normal daily activities immediately.
Results
Results are not immediate and generally begin to develop within several days, with full results typically visible within 2 weeks.
The longevity of results varies between individuals but generally lasts around 3–4 months. Regular maintenance treatments may be recommended to maintain your desired outcome.
Is anti-wrinkle treatment right for me?
Anti-wrinkle treatments may be suitable for adults looking to soften dynamic lines, prevent deeper wrinkle formation, or address concerns such as jaw clenching and facial slimming.
A personalised consultation is essential to determine whether treatment is appropriate and to develop an individualised treatment plan.
