Concerns it addresses
What Anti Wrinkle Injections treats
You catch it in the mirror of a lift: the line between your brows that used to vanish when you relaxed, and now stays. It is a fold made by a muscle, which is why a prescriber-placed injection reaches it when no cream can. The muscle relaxes, the skin above it smooths, and your face still moves the way it should.

Forehead Lines
Softened as part of the frown complex, so your brows stay exactly where you like them.

The Medical Uses
Regents Park Aesthetics also runs three medical appointments, each assessed at consultation by a prescriber and planned quite differently from a cosmetic treatment.
Excessive sweating. For excessive underarm sweating, a prescriber assesses you at consultation and explains what to expect, including how long results usually last.
Jaw clenching and teeth grinding. For jaw clenching and teeth grinding, a prescriber assesses you at consultation and explains what to expect. Treatment can also soften a heavy jawline over time, which some patients want and some would rather keep, so the plan is made around you.
Chronic migraine. A recognised protocol using multiple injection points across the head, neck and shoulders. This is a medical appointment requiring a full history, and it is not the same treatment as a cosmetic forehead appointment.
Before & After Results
Frown lines
Softer frown lines
The vertical lines between the brows soften because the frown muscles can no longer pull as hard. Regents Park Aesthetics patient. Individual results may vary.
Forehead lines
Smoother forehead
Horizontal lines across the forehead reduced while the brows keep a natural position. Regents Park Aesthetics patient. Individual results may vary.
Forehead lines
Deep forehead lines relaxed
Deeper, etched-in forehead lines relaxed so the skin looks smoother at rest and in movement. Regents Park Aesthetics patient. Individual results may vary.
Frown and squint lines
Lines between the brows softened
Strong creasing between the brows when squinting, noticeably reduced after treatment. Regents Park Aesthetics patient. Individual results may vary.
Chin
Chin dimpling smoothed
The dimpled texture that appears when the chin muscle tightens, smoothed after treatment. Regents Park Aesthetics patient. Individual results may vary.
An anti-wrinkle injection works where the muscle folds the skin.
Each muscle sits at its own depth and takes its own dose, judged at assessment.
Depth, explained
How Deep the Injection Goes
An anti-wrinkle injection only works if it reaches the muscle that is folding the skin. These are the muscles we treat.
Frown lines
The line between your brows that has stopped disappearing when you relax your face. Frown lines respond fastest.
Forehead lines
Horizontal lines from raising the brows. Forehead treatment tends toward the shorter end of longevity, since the frontalis is a large muscle in constant use.
Crow's feet
Often the most transformed area, because the skin there is thin and creases readily.
Lip lines
Fine vertical lines above the lip, softened with a small dose so the mouth keeps its movement.
Neck bands
The vertical bands that show when the neck is tensed.
The muscle: where it acts
The injection interrupts the signal travelling from the nerve to the muscle. The muscle relaxes and the skin above it stops being folded. Dose and depth are matched to the muscle, which is why a forehead and a jaw need different plans.

Each muscle sits at its own depth and takes its own dose, judged at assessment. The positions shown are illustrative, not a treatment plan.
- The epidermis
- The surface the needle passes through. Nothing acts here.
- Within the skin
- The lines you can see form here, because a muscle is pulling from below, so the injection travels on to the muscle itself.
- The fat layer
- Passed through on the way to the muscle. Depth is judged by the muscle being treated rather than set to the same measurement everywhere on the face.

How Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work, Step by Step

Your face in motion
Your clinician takes a full medical history, watches your face move through a range of expressions, and marks the muscles genuinely creating the lines you have pointed out. Every area is agreed with you before the first injection.

Movement begins to soften around day three. Forehead lines and frown lines respond fastest.

The full result arrives at day fourteen. Crow's feet often look the most transformed, because the skin there is thin and creases readily. A two week review is included with every treatment.

-
Results last three to four months for most patients. Forehead treatment tends toward the shorter end, since the frontalis is a large muscle in constant use, and crow's feet toward the longer end.
What you feel or see Steady. Nothing to do.
What to do Book the next visit for the three to four month point.
-
The effect wears off as the nerve signal returns, which is why treatment is repeated on a cycle rather than topped up continuously. Most patients return every three to four months. Treated on a regular cycle, results improve rather than plateau: a muscle repeatedly relaxed becomes weaker, so many long-term patients move from four treatments a year to three, at a lower dose.
What you feel or see Movement gradually returns as the nerve signal comes back.
What to do Book your next visit for the three to four month mark, or simply enjoy the result for as long as it lasts.

Questions patients ask
Frequently asked questions
Three to four months for most people. Regular treatment often extends that, because a muscle repeatedly relaxed gradually weakens and needs less product to hold the same result. Forehead lines tend to be at the shorter end and crow’s feet at the longer end.
Anyone from their late twenties upward who would like expression lines softened. They work fastest on lines that still come and go with movement, which is why many patients start early. Your clinician runs through your medical history at the consultation.
Movement starts to reduce around day three. The full effect is visible at day fourteen, which is when Regents Park Aesthetics reviews you. If you are treating for an event, book at least three weeks ahead.
From £180 for one area, £250 for two areas and £300 for three at our Wimpole Street clinic. Medical treatments are priced separately: masseter and underarm sweating are both £450.
Every twelve weeks or more, which keeps the product working beautifully for years. Most patients settle into three or four visits a year.
The needle is very fine and each injection takes a second. Most people describe a brief sting. No numbing cream is needed for a standard appointment.
The product has been used medically since the 1980s and cosmetically for over twenty years. At Regents Park Aesthetics only prescribing clinicians treat, and your clinician talks you through everything at the consultation.
A prescribing clinician: Kay Greveson, our founder and an advanced nurse prescriber, or Dr Grace Adamson. Treatment is never delegated to a non-prescriber. The same clinician assesses and treats, never delegated, and Regents Park Aesthetics uses MHRA-licensed products exclusively.
Stay upright for four hours, skip the gym that day, leave alcohol for twenty four hours and let the treated area be. Facials, saunas and sunbeds wait forty eight hours. It all keeps the product exactly where it was placed.
Twenty four hours, so the product settles into the muscle it was placed in.
Four hours, which keeps everything in place, particularly around the brow.
Leave it twenty four hours, which keeps any bruising to a minimum.
No. We treat the muscles creating the lines you want softened and leave the surrounding muscles working, so you still look like you. If you prefer a lighter touch, say so and the dose is planned around it.
Occasionally a small bruise appears, more often around the eyes, and it fades within a week. Your clinician shares simple tips at the consultation to keep the chance low.
Your prescriber explains what to expect at consultation, and it is often longer than a cosmetic treatment. Jaw slimming from repeated treatment builds gradually across two or three cycles.
The frontalis muscle is large and used constantly, so it recovers faster. Crow’s feet involve a smaller muscle doing less work. Both are perfectly normal and your plan is timed around them.
Movement gradually returns as the effect wears off. A lovely bonus is that skin which has been folded less for several years often looks a little better than it otherwise would.
Anti-wrinkle injections relax a muscle to soften lines caused by movement. Filler replaces lost volume and restores structure. They solve different problems and are frequently used together.
