WRINKLE REDUCTION AT REFRESH MEDISPA
Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as toxin injections, are a popular cosmetic treatment at our clinic in Amersham aimed at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. By temporarily relaxing facial muscles, these injections smooth out wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

This treatment primarily addresses dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated facial movements such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. These wrinkles are commonly known as ‘expression lines’ and tend to appear as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and glabellar lines (between the eyebrows). Anti-wrinkle injections are particularly effective at softening and preventing the formation of these wrinkles, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Aside from treating facial wrinkles, anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to address various medical conditions, including migraines & excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). These injections can effectively relax overactive muscles or glands, providing relief and improving quality of life for individuals experiencing these conditions.
During the application of anti-wrinkle injections, the skin is cleansed, and the targeted areas are identified. Using a fine needle, the injections are precisely administered into specific facial muscles. By relaxing these muscles, the skin appears smoother and wrinkles are visibly reduced.
The procedure is relatively quick, taking around 10-15 minutes, and typically involves minimal discomfort, often likened to a pinprick.
Areas Treated
Expected Results
Anti-wrinkle injections typically yield smoother, younger-looking skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Results are natural and subtle, preserving facial expressions while softening dynamic wrinkles. Following treatment you can expect a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance that lasts for several months before gradually wearing off.
Suitable candidates for anti-wrinkle injections are individuals bothered by facial wrinkles and seeking a non-surgical solution. They should be in good overall health with realistic expectations about the treatment’s outcomes. Candidates may include those with dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions such as frowning or squinting.
Anti-wrinkle injections can be effectively combined with other cosmetic treatments to enhance overall results. Common complementary treatments include dermal fillers for volume restoration, and laser skin rejuvenation for additional wrinkle reduction – which are also available at Refresh Medispa. This combination approach can provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation tailored to individual needs.
Anti-wrinkle injections are generally safe when administered by qualified healthcare professionals. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare, making this treatment a low-risk option for reducing facial wrinkles.
Following anti-wrinkle injections, minimal downtime is expected, with most individuals able to resume normal activities immediately. However, it’s advised to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol consumption for the first 24 hours. Aftercare may involve avoiding any positions which involve the head being lower than the heart or touching the face to optimise results.
Results from anti-wrinkle injections typically last 3-4 months before gradually wearing off. Factors such as individual metabolism, muscle activity, and dosage may affect duration. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results. With continued sessions, some individuals may experience prolonged intervals between treatments.
You should notice an improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles within 3-5 days of your anti-wrinkle treatment. These results will continue to enhance over the following weeks, giving you a smoother and more refreshed look over time.
Anti-wrinkle injections are usually minimally painful or completely pain-free. Most patients report only mild discomfort or a small sting during the procedure. The process is designed to be quick and as comfortable as possible, making it a manageable experience for the majority of people.
Our anti-wrinkle injections start from £195 for 1 area, going up to from £425 for 4 areas.

Book OnlineRefresh Medispa were brilliant. As someone who is needle phobic, I was very apprehensive about having my wrinkles treated. My nurse exuded professionalism and her manner put me completely at ease. I love my results and she was really knowledgeable about skincare too.
