Antiwrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections use botulinum toxin (Botox) to temporarily relax the muscles causing dynamic wrinkles — delivering a refreshed, rested appearance that looks natural and unforced when administered with surgical precision.
- Softens forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet for a refreshed, natural look
- No downtime — treatment takes 15–30 minutes with immediate return to normal activities
- Administered by a consultant plastic surgeon with expert knowledge of facial anatomy
Results
Onset within 3–5 days, with peak effect at 2 weeks. The result is a natural softening of lines rather than a frozen appearance. Effects last 3–4 months, after which treatment can be repeated.

How Does It Work
Small, precise injections of botulinum toxin are administered into the targeted facial muscles using a fine needle. The toxin temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract, softening the appearance of dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form from repeated facial expressions. Dr Williams’s surgical understanding of facial anatomy ensures precise placement and conservative dosing, avoiding the ‘frozen’ look and preserving natural expression and movement. Common treatment areas include the forehead, glabella (frown lines), and periorbital region (crow’s feet). Anti-wrinkle injections can also be used therapeutically for a chemical brow lift, jaw slimming (masseter reduction), and hyperhidrosis treatment.
