Anti Wrinkle Injections
Natural-Looking Anti Wrinkle Treatment
Anti wrinkle injections use a purified protein (botulinum toxin) that is injected in micro amounts into specific facial muscles. The treatment works by temporarily paralysing the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles. This results in a smoother, more relaxed and youthful appearance.
At Medipro Clinics, Clinical Director Emmalee has extensive experience in administering anti wrinkle injections and firmly believes in achieving natural and subtle results. The goal is never to create a frozen or expressionless look, but rather to soften existing lines and prevent deeper creases from forming, while maintaining natural facial movement and expression.
Common Treatment Areas
Anti wrinkle injections can be used to treat a variety of dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions.
Frown Lines
The vertical lines that form between the eyebrows, often called “elevens,” caused by frowning and concentrating.
Worry Lines
Horizontal lines across the forehead caused by raising the eyebrows and expressing surprise or concern.
Crow’s Feet
The fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes, typically caused by smiling and squinting.
Lip Lines
Fine vertical lines around the mouth, sometimes called smoker’s lines, that become more visible over time.
Bunny Lines
The small diagonal lines that appear on the bridge of the nose when scrunching or wrinkling the face.
Preventative Treatment
Starting treatment early can prevent fine lines from becoming deeper, more established wrinkles over time.
What to Expect
The Treatment
Anti wrinkle treatment is a quick and straightforward procedure. For a standard frown line treatment, approximately 5 small injections are administered above and between the eyebrows. The needles used are extremely fine, and most clients describe the sensation as a small pinch with minimal discomfort. The entire procedure typically takes just 10 to 15 minutes.
Results & Timeline
You will begin to notice results within 3 to 5 days of treatment, with the full effect becoming apparent up to 2 weeks after your appointment. The treated muscles gradually relax, softening the appearance of lines and giving the skin a smoother, refreshed look.
How Long Does It Last?
The effects of anti wrinkle injections typically last for about 4 months. To maintain your results, re-treatment should be carried out no more than every 3 months. With regular treatment over time, many clients find that the muscles gradually weaken and results can last progressively longer.
Safety & Side Effects
Anti wrinkle injections are one of the most widely performed aesthetic treatments in the world and have an excellent safety profile when administered by a trained practitioner. However, as with any medical treatment, there are some potential side effects to be aware of.
Common Side Effects
- Injection site pain – Mild tenderness at the injection points, typically resolving within a few hours
- Bruising – Small bruises may appear at injection sites, usually fading within a few days
- Headache – A mild headache may occur following treatment, particularly after the first session
Rare Side Effects
- Eyelid drooping (ptosis) – In rare cases, temporary drooping of the eyelid may occur. This is transitory and resolves on its own as the product wears off
During your consultation, Emmalee will discuss all potential risks and side effects in detail, answer any questions you may have, and ensure you feel completely informed before proceeding with treatment.

Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is. The needles used are extremely fine, and the injections feel like a small pinch.

You will start to notice the muscles relaxing within 3 to 5 days of treatment. The full effect develops gradually and is typically complete by 2 weeks. We offer a complimentary review appointment at 2 weeks to ensure you are happy with your results and make any minor adjustments if needed.
Results typically last around 4 months, and we recommend re-treatment no more frequently than every 3 months. Over time, with regular treatments, the muscles gradually weaken, which means many clients find they can extend the time between appointments as the effects begin to last longer.
Anti wrinkle injections are not suitable for everyone. You should not have treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular disorder, are allergic to any ingredient in the product, or have an active skin infection at the treatment site. A thorough medical assessment is carried out during your consultation to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
