Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most effective non-surgical treatments to reduce the signs of ageing by smoothing out the appearance of wrinkles and preventing the deepening of lines, helping our skin appear more rested.
Using small amounts of botulinum toxin, precisely targeted muscles are gently relaxed to smooth existing lines and prevent new ones from forming, whilst maintaining natural facial expression and a refreshed appearance.
How It Works
Repeated contraction of the facial muscles over time – through frowning, smiling, or raising the brows – gradually etches movement into the skin. Dynamic lines that were once only visible during expression become static, present even at rest, and begin to lend a tired, aged, or tense expression to the face.
These changes can begin as early as the late twenties, making early, preventative treatment an effective strategy for slowing their progression.
Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily reducing the nerve signals to targeted muscles, softening their movement and preventing the skin above from creasing. The result is a smoother, more rested appearance – with treatment tailored to your individual anatomy to ensure results that look natural and preserve your facial expression.

FAQs
What areas can be treated?
Botulinum toxin Injections are used mainly for smoothing the fine lines on the face, particularly the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes but can also be used for the neck. This treatment can also be used to relieve the symptoms of hyperhidrosis when injected into areas of excessive sweating and for teeth grinding when injected into the masseter muscles in the jaw. It may also be used as an alternative to lip filler to give the appearance of a fuller lip, to treat a gummy smile and reduce facial sweating.
Will I look frozen?
Dr Shabri’s approach focuses on achieving a refreshed, natural-looking result that preserves your ability to smile, frown, and express yourself. Treatment is carefully calibrated to reduce unwanted muscle activity without freezing your expressions.
Is the treatment painful?
This treatment is very quick and comfortable with Dr Shabri’ use of ultra-fine needles and a gentle injection technique.
Is there such thing as preventative botox?
Yes – when started early, anti-wrinkle treatments can help slow the development of deeper expression lines. During your consultation Dr Shabri will determine whether this is appropriate for your age and facial dynamics.
At what age should I start anti-wrinkle injections?
There is no set age. Some patients begin treatment in their mid-twenties as a preventative measure to slow the formation of lines, whilst others seek treatment when existing lines become more noticeable. Dr Shabri will assess your skin and advise on the most appropriate timing for you.
How often should I have anti-wrinkle treatment?
Most clients enjoy smoother, refreshed skin for 3 to 6 months. Regular treatment can help maintain the results and prevent deeper lines from forming over time. In as little as 2-3 treatments a year, you can benefit from results all year round.
Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?
Botulinum toxin has been used safely in medical and aesthetic treatments for decades. When administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner such as Dr Shabri, anti-wrinkle injections are a very safe and well-tolerated treatment.
Can this treatment be combined with others?
Yes. Anti-wrinkle injections work very well alongside dermal fillers, skin boosters, polynucleotides, Profhilo®, and medical-grade skincare for a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Dr Shabri will advise on the best combination treatment plan for your individual concerns and goals.
