Anti wrinkle injections

ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS

Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as Botox, are a safe and effective non-surgical treatment used to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. At InnerGlow Aesthetics, we provide professional anti-wrinkle treatments in Gorgie, Edinburgh, tailored to create natural, refreshed results.

What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified protein to temporarily relax specific facial muscles that cause expression lines. These lines commonly appear on the forehead, between the eyebrows (frown lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet). By relaxing these muscles, the skin appears smoother and more youthful while still allowing natural facial expression.

How do anti-wrinkle injections work?

Repeated facial movements over time cause wrinkles to form. Anti-wrinkle injections work by blocking the nerve signals that tell certain muscles to contract. This allows the overlying skin to relax, reducing the appearance of lines and helping to prevent deeper wrinkles from developing.

Results typically begin to appear within 3–7 days, with full results visible at around 10–14 days. Effects usually last 3–4 months, depending on individual factors.

What areas can be treated?

Common treatment areas include:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines
• Masseters for face slimming/briuxism
• Gummy smile
• DAO (upside down smile)
• Lip flip
• Smokers lines
• Chin dimpling
• Neferetti neck lift/platysma bands
• Jowls/jawline

During your consultation, we’ll assess your facial structure and discuss which areas are suitable for treatment.

What to expect during treatment

Your appointment will begin with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals, medical history, and suitability for treatment. The procedure itself is quick and minimally invasive, usually taking 15–30 minutes.

Anti-wrinkle injections are administered using a fine needle, and discomfort is minimal. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Aftercare advice

To ensure the best results from your anti-wrinkle treatment, we recommend the following aftercare:

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours
• Remain upright for at least 4 hours after treatment
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
• Do not book facial treatments for at least 7 days

You will be given full aftercare guidance at your appointment.

Is Botox safe?

When administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner, anti-wrinkle injections are considered very safe. At InnerGlow Aesthetics, safety, education, and natural results are always our priority.
