Smooth Lines & Restore Radiance

Anti-wrinkle injections (commonly known as Botox) use a purified, regulated protein to temporarily relax the specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles formed during facial expressions). By relaxing these muscles, the overlying skin is smoothed, softening existing lines and preventing new ones from engraving into the skin.

Our treatment is fast, minimally invasive, and requires zero downtime, making it a highly popular solution for patients seeking a refreshed look.

Why Choose a Dentist for Facial Aesthetics?

Dentists are highly qualified head and neck specialists. Their extensive clinical training in facial anatomy, musculature, and nerves, combined with their everyday precision in administering injections, makes them uniquely suited to deliver exceptionally safe, accurate, and natural-looking results.

  • Non-Surgical & Fast

    A simple walk-in, walk-out treatment completed in just 15 to 30 minutes, fitting easily into your day.

  • Comfortable Procedure

    Administered using micro-fine needles, causing only a tiny, temporary pinch without needing anaesthesia.

  • Natural-Looking Results

    We aim to refresh and soften your appearance, maintaining your natural facial expressions without a "frozen" look.

  • Preventative Benefits

    By temporarily stopping repetitive muscle contractions, it stops fine lines from settling into deep, permanent wrinkles.

Precision Targeting

Popular Treatment Areas

Forehead Lines

Frown Lines (Glabella)

Treats the vertical "11" lines between the eyebrows that form when frowning or squinting, softening a tired or concerned expression.

Crow's Feet

Smoothes the fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes when smiling or laughing, keeping the eye area looking bright.

Botox in the Jaw (Masseter)

Aesthetics Advice

Anti-Wrinkle Post-Treatment Guide

First 4 Hours

  • Do Not Massage or Rub: Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas. This prevents the injected protein from spreading to adjacent muscles, avoiding side effects like drooping eyelids.
  • Stay Upright: Do not lie down flat, bend over, or perform strenuous physical activity for at least 4 hours after your injections. Keep your head elevated.
  • Avoid Pressure: Avoid wearing tight hats, headbands, or sleeping directly on your face immediately following treatment.

First 24–48 Hours

  • Avoid Vigorous Exercise: Do not perform intense cardiovascular exercise or heavy lifting for 24 hours. Increased blood circulation can disperse the product and cause bruising.
  • Avoid Heat Sources: Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, hot baths, and direct sun exposure. High temperatures can increase blood flow to the face.
  • Avoid Alcohol & Blood Thinners: Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment. Avoid aspirin or ibuprofen if possible (paracetamol is fine) to minimize the risk of bruising at injection sites.
Common Questions

Anti-Wrinkle FAQs

Does the injection hurt?
The discomfort is minimal. We use ultra-fine needles, and the injections feel like a quick, tiny pinch. Most patients describe it as virtually painless and do not require any topical anaesthetic cream. The entire procedure takes only a few minutes.
Will I look "frozen" or lose my expressions?
No. At Kingshurst Dental Surgery, our qualified dentists use precise dosages targeted only to the specific muscles causing wrinkles. We aim to soften lines and refresh your look while maintaining natural movement in your forehead, eyebrows, and smile. We prefer a subtle, natural rejuvenation.
How long does it take to see results?
You will start to notice the muscles relaxing within 3 to 5 days. The maximum smoothing effect develops gradually and is fully visible by 14 days. This is why we schedule your follow-up check-up at the 2-week mark.
How long do the anti-wrinkle effects last?
Anti-wrinkle results typically last between 3 to 6 months. As the protein is naturally processed by your body, muscle movement will gradually return, and lines will reappear. With regular maintenance appointments, the targeted muscles become trained to relax, and results can last longer.
How does Botox help with jaw pain and teeth grinding?
When injected into the masseter (chewing) muscle, Botox relaxes the muscle and reduces its clenching force. This relieves jaw pain, TMJ discomfort, and tension headaches, and protects teeth from grinding damage without needing a nightguard. It also slims the lower face profile and lasts 6–9 months.
Are there any side effects of anti-wrinkle injections?
Botox is extremely safe when administered by a trained medical professional. Minor, temporary side effects can include slight redness, tiny bumps, or bruising at the injection sites, which resolve within 30 minutes to a day. Rare side effects include temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow, which resolves as the product wears off.
