Wrinkle Relaxing Injection Guidelines
Wrinkle relaxing injections are a very common cosmetic treatment and have become a normal part of modern aesthetic care. We use carefully selected, clinically proven products to soften lines and create a refreshed, natural appearance.
There is no need for a “frozen” look, at our Cheltenham clinic we focus on subtle, natural results so you look refreshed, not treated.
All new clients require an initial consultation with our qualified prescriber prior to treatment to assess suitability and ensure the best possible outcome.

*A review appointment is typically scheduled around two weeks after treatment. Adjustments are provided only when clinically indicated. The need for additional product is determined by the practitioner.
Here are some Wrinkle Relaxing Injections: Key facts
• Wrinkle relaxing injections use a purified protein to temporarily reduce muscle activity.
• Treatment helps soften expression lines such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet.
• Results develop gradually over 3–14 days.
• Effects typically last around 3–4 months.
• Treatments are tailored individually to maintain natural facial movement.
• Regular maintenance treatments may help prolong results.
• A consultation is required to assess suitability prior to treatment.
Excessive Sweating / Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what is needed to regulate body temperature. Prescription injections can help reduce sweating in targeted areas when topical treatments are ineffective.
Treatment works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands. Common treatment areas include the underarms, palms, and feet.
Results typically begin to develop within several days, with full effect seen after approximately two weeks. Effects may last several months, although individual response varies.
A medical consultation is required to assess suitability prior to treatment.
Gummy Smile Correction
Some people feel their smile shows excessive gum tissue when smiling. Small doses of prescription muscle-relaxing treatment can help relax the muscles that elevate the upper lip, creating a more balanced smile.
Improvement may begin to appear within a few days, with full results typically visible after 2–3 weeks. Results generally last around 3–4 months.
A consultation is required to assess suitability and discuss expected outcomes.
Bunny Lines
“Bunny lines” are small wrinkles that appear diagonally along the sides of the nose when smiling or scrunching facial expressions. Over time, repeated muscle movement and natural collagen loss can cause these lines to become more noticeable.
Prescription muscle-relaxing treatment can help soften the muscle activity responsible for these lines, creating a smoother appearance.
Results typically last around 3–6 months. A consultation is required to assess suitability.
Chin Dimpling Correction
Some people experience dimpling or an uneven texture in the chin, sometimes described as a “pebble” or “orange peel” appearance. This occurs due to muscle activity beneath the skin.
Small amounts of prescription muscle-relaxing treatment can help soften muscle contraction, creating a smoother and more even chin appearance.
Results typically last around 3–6 months. A consultation is required to determine suitability.
Smoker’s lines
Smoker’s lines are fine vertical lines that develop around the mouth. While commonly associated with smoking, they are also a natural part of the ageing process and repetitive muscle movement.
Prescription muscle-relaxing treatment can help soften muscle activity in the area, improving the appearance of these lines and creating a smoother lip contour.
Results typically develop over 2–3 weeks and last approximately 2–4 months. A consultation is required to assess suitability.
Platysma Bands
Platysma bands are vertical neck bands that can become more visible with age as muscle activity and skin laxity increase.
Targeted muscle-relaxing treatment can help soften the appearance of these bands and create a smoother, more defined neck contour.
Results typically last around 3–6 months. Suitability is assessed during consultation.
Masseter Muscle Relaxation
An overactive masseter muscle can create a wider, square jaw appearance and may be associated with jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism).
Targeted muscle-relaxing treatment can help reduce muscle activity, which may soften the jawline and relieve tension related to clenching.
Results typically begin to appear within 7–10 days and can last approximately 3–6 months. A consultation is required to assess suitability.
All prescription treatments are provided following medical consultation and assessment by a qualified prescriber.
