Anti-Wrinkle Injections at Clarendon Medical

Anti-wrinkle injections are prescription-only treatments that must be administered by trained medical professionals. At Clarendon Medical, treatment decisions are guided by medical history, facial anatomy, skin condition, and individual concerns.

Rather than offering a standardised approach, anti-wrinkle injections are considered as part of a personalised treatment plan. A consultation allows for discussion of concerns, explanation of treatment options, and assessment of whether anti-wrinkle injections are appropriate.

What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections are used to manage facial lines that form as a result of repeated muscle movement. These are often referred to as dynamic lines and may become more noticeable over time.

With ongoing muscle activity, dynamic lines can gradually become more established and visible even when the face is at rest. Anti-wrinkle injections may be used to address these changes by targeting specific muscles involved in facial expression.

How Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?

Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily reducing the activity of selected facial muscles. By relaxing these muscles, the repetitive movements that contribute to line formation are reduced.

This approach does not aim to remove facial expression. Instead, treatment is planned to soften muscle activity while maintaining natural movement. Anti-wrinkle injections are often described as relaxing muscles rather than paralysing them, with treatment tailored to the individual rather than applied uniformly.

What Anti-Wrinkle Injections Can and Cannot Address

Anti-wrinkle injections are primarily used to manage lines caused by muscle movement. These treatments may be suitable for dynamic facial lines, such as those that appear when frowning, raising the eyebrows, or smiling.

They are not designed to restore lost facial volume or to address skin laxity caused by structural changes. In some cases, other treatment options may be discussed if concerns are related to volume loss, skin quality, or facial contour. A consultation allows these factors to be assessed so that treatment recommendations are appropriate and aligned with individual needs.

Common Areas Treated With Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections are commonly considered for areas of the face where expression-related lines are more noticeable. These may include the forehead, the area between the eyebrows, and the outer eye region.

The suitability of treating any area depends on individual facial anatomy and muscle activity. During consultation, treatment areas are assessed carefully to ensure a balanced and appropriate approach.

Who May Consider Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections may be considered by adults who are concerned about facial lines related to muscle movement. Suitability varies between individuals and depends on factors such as skin condition, facial structure, medical history, and personal preferences.

A consultation is required to determine whether anti-wrinkle injections are appropriate and to discuss alternative options where relevant.
