Absolutely. We use ultra-precise injections to relax the tiny muscles that cause expression lines, especially around the eyes, forehead, and brow. By easing that tension, the skin looks smoother and more rested while still moving naturally. It’s fast, subtle, and doesn’t involve surgery, fillers, or downtime.

A bit of prep helps make sure everything goes smoothly. Avoid alcohol, ibuprofen, and blood-thinning supplements like fish oil, garlic, or St. John’s Wort for a week before your visit. Come in with clean skin and no makeup. If you're feeling unwell or have a cold sore, it’s better to reschedule. Make sure to tell us about any medications or supplements you’re taking. This treatment isn’t suitable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. After your session, some redness or bruising is possible, so it's smart to keep your calendar clear of big events.

To get the best results, there are a few simple things to keep in mind. Stay upright for at least four hours and avoid touching or putting pressure on the treated areas for the rest of the day. Skip makeup for 24 hours and avoid alcohol, intense exercise, hot showers, or saunas during that time. A little redness or swelling is normal and usually fades quickly. Bruising can take up to a week to clear, and arnica gel may help. You'll start to see results in a few days, with the full effect settling in around two weeks.

If you’re new to this treatment, a consultation with Dr. Shaan Patel is the first step. It’s a quick, free session to make sure the treatment is right for you. He’ll walk you through your goals, answer any questions, and if you’re happy to go ahead, you can usually have the treatment on the same day.

Most clients see their skin stay smooth and refreshed for around 2 to 4 months. Results don’t disappear all at once. Movement usually returns gradually after 6 weeks, and by the and by the 3 to 6-month mark, it’s a good time to consider another treatment to keep everything looking smooth.
 

The treatment is generally well tolerated. Most clients describe the sensation as a brief pinprick with minimal discomfort. We use very fine needles, and each injection takes only a few seconds to complete.

Anti-wrinkle injections are most commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. They can also be used for more advanced treatments such as softening bunny lines on the nose, performing a subtle brow lift or lip flip, reducing chin dimpling, slimming the jawline, or addressing excessive sweating.
