Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Not at all. When administered correctly by a professional like myself, Anti-Wrinkle Injections can soften and refresh your look while still respecting the natural aging process, and the uniqueness of your features.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections are most commonly used on the upper third of the face, such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines. For under-eye fine lines and wrinkles, skin boosters or other targeted treatments might be more suitable. We can discuss the best options based on your needs during a consultation.

Definitely not! Our aim is to keep your face looking natural and expressive. When done correctly, Anti-Wrinkle Injections smooth out lines and wrinkles without freezing your expressions. Your face will still have natural movement, just without the unwanted lines that can make you look tired or stressed.

While Anti-Wrinkle Injections effectively relax the muscles responsible for upper face expressions, they don’t promote long-term skin health. By combining Anti-Wrinkle Injections with skin boosters such as Polynucleotides and Sunekos, you not only soften the appearance of wrinkles but also restore the skin from within.

This combination increases skin hydration and elasticity for longer-lasting improvement, without the need for frequent anti-wrinkle injection appointments. Additionally, Anti-Wrinkle Injections for the upper face can be paired with treatments for the mid and lower face.

For example, Profhilo complements Anti-Wrinkle Injections by addressing signs of aging in other areas of the face.

These treatments work so well together that we’ve created our signature Smooth & Shape package, combining both for complete facial rejuvenation.

When people refer to Botox, they are often actually referring to anti-wrinkle treatments in general. Botox is just one of several brands of botulinum toxin type A, alongside Azzalure, Dysport, Bocouture, and Alluzience to name a few.

Because it was the pioneer in the field, the name Botox became synonymous with all anti-wrinkle injections. Despite the widespread use of the term, not all clinics use Botox specifically as different brands have unique properties such as diffusion, onset time, and longevity.

All treatments are personally performed by Dr Yiannis (that’s me!), a fully qualified medical aesthetic practitioner with over 20 years of experience. My academic and clinical background includes:

• General Dental Surgeon, University of Siena, Italy
• Diploma in Advanced Aesthetic Dentistry, University College London (Eastman Dental Institute)
• Master of Science (MSc) in Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry, University of Manchester

Over the past 20 years, I have also completed extensive postgraduate training in facial aesthetics, participating in numerous advanced, hands-on training modules both in the UK and across Europe. This includes training delivered by internationally recognised experts in medical aesthetics as well as by the pharmaceutical and medical device companies whose products I use in clinic, ensuring my techniques are up to date, evidence-based, and aligned with the highest safety standards.

Everything that happens at the Anti Wrinkle Clinic, I personally carry out – ensuring consistency, safety, and care from start to finish.

Yes – every treatment at the Anti Wrinkle Clinic starts with a consultation. This is an important step to make sure the treatment you’re considering is both suitable and safe for you. During your consultation, I’ll take the time to understand your goals, review your medical history, and discuss what’s best for your skin.

Please note that payment doesn’t automatically guarantee a treatment. If anything comes up during your consultation that makes a procedure unsafe or unsuitable, I will explain why and recommend alternative options.

Yes – all injectable treatments at the Anti Wrinkle Clinic are prescription-only and fully regulated under UK medical guidelines. Treatments are prescribed and administered exclusively by Dr Yiannis, following an in-person consultation to confirm suitability.

Rest assured, we follow strict clinical and hygiene protocols, source products only from licensed UK pharmacies.

Anti Wrinkle Injections are well studied and considered safe when administered appropriately. Most patients experience only mild, short-lived side effects such as small red bumps, light swelling, slight bruising, or a temporary headache.

More significant side effects are rare but you should be mindful that they can happen. These can include bruising, infection, or allergic reaction.

If you ever have concerns after treatment – especially if you notice severe pain, increasing swelling, or changes in vision – you should contact the clinic immediately on +44 20 3598 7358.

For the first 24 hours, I recommend all my patients take it easy. You can certainly cleanse and moisturise the skin, but please avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas. Wearing makeup is perfectly fine, but keep it light-handed. It’s also a good idea to skip strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and hot yoga for the rest of the day.

For the next 1-2 weeks, I would also recommend staying clear of facials, peels, and microneedling. Importantly, I urge you to use daily SPF (30-50) and keep hydrated. Remember – good skincare supports great treatment results. 

If you experience any unusual symptoms – be that pain, discomfort, itching, redness, then please contact the clinic immediately on +44 20 3598 7358
