Wrinkle reduction injections are a minimally invasive treatment that uses a purified protein to relax targeted facial muscles. Commonly treated areas include the forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet, helping to rejuvenate the skin and restore a youthful appearance.
With an experienced team and a patient-focused approach, each treatment at Mr Paul Wilson is tailored to the individual. If you’re considering wrinkle reduction injections, Mr Wilson’s clinic is the ideal choice for personalised care and natural-looking results that will boost your confidence. Both Mr Wilson and his aesthetic nurse can perform these injections for you.
About
What are wrinkle reduction injections?
Wrinkles naturally develop over time as the skin loses collagen and elasticity, and as repeated facial expressions create lines in areas such as the forehead, around the eyes and between the eyebrows. While completely normal, these changes can sometimes make individuals appear tired or tense.
Wrinkle reduction injections offer a non-surgical way to soften these lines by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. By reducing excessive muscle movement, the treatment helps smooth crow’s feet, forehead lines and frown lines, creating a more relaxed appearance.
Areas
Areas treated with wrinkle reduction injections
Wrinkle-reduction injections can be used across several areas of the face and neck to soften dynamic wrinkles and create a smoother, more refreshed appearance. These injections work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles, reducing the movement that causes creases to form.
Forehead wrinkle treatment
This treatment softens horizontal forehead lines caused by repeated lifting of the eyebrows, helping the area appear smoother.
Eye wrinkle treatment (crow’s feet)
Commonly used to treat the fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes that appear when smiling or squinting. Smoother skin in this area can create a brighter, more rejuvenated look.
Under-eye wrinkle treatment
Wrinkle reduction injections may be used to minimise fine lines beneath the eyes, improving overall smoothness. Your suitability for this treatment will be assessed during consultation.
Frown line treatment (glabella)
This targets the vertical lines between the eyebrows caused by frowning or concentrating, helping to reduce a stern or tense appearance.
Lip wrinkle treatment (smoker’s lines)
Small, precise injections can soften vertical lip lines that form from pursing, drinking through straws, or other repetitive movements.
Neck wrinkle treatment
Wrinkle-reduction injections may be used to address prominent vertical neck bands resulting from platysmal muscle activity.
Deep wrinkle treatment
While wrinkle reduction injections can soften deeper lines, static wrinkles (visible even at rest) may require complementary treatments such as dermal fillers or skin-based therapies.

What to expect
What to expect during wrinkle reduction injections?
Consultation
Your wrinkle reduction treatment begins with a personalised consultation to understand your concerns and aesthetic goals. During this appointment, Mr Wilson and his team will assess your facial structure and identify the muscles responsible for the targeted wrinkles. Your medical history will also be reviewed to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
The consultation provides an opportunity to discuss the recommended treatment approach, what results can realistically be achieved and what to expect during and after the procedure. Any questions you may have will be addressed, ensuring you feel fully informed before proceeding.
Procedure
Wrinkle reduction injections are performed in-clinic and do not require general anaesthetic or sedation. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximise comfort.
Once a personalised treatment plan has been devised, the procedure typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes. Using ultra-fine needles, a purified neurotoxin is carefully injected into specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. This substance works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, reducing their activity.
By relaxing these muscles, the skin above appears smoother and less creased, while untreated muscles continue to function normally. This targeted approach allows for natural-looking results without a stiff or ‘frozen’ appearance. The precise techniques used at Mr Paul Wilson’s clinic ensure injections are strategically placed to soften lines while preserving facial expression.
Patients may experience mild pressure during the injections, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. There is little to no downtime, and treatments are typically repeated every three to six months to maintain their results.
Recovery
Recovery and results of wrinkle reduction injections
What to expect
After treatment, it is normal to experience mild redness, slight swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites. These effects are temporary and typically settle within a few hours, though in some cases they may take up to a day or two to resolve. Most patients are able to return to their usual activities immediately after their appointment.
Unlike dermal fillers, wrinkle reduction injections do not produce results instantly. The initial effects usually begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full results visible between 10–14 days, as the treated muscles gradually relax and the skin becomes smoother.
Activity and movement
Wrinkle reduction injections require little to no downtime. Patients can return to work straight away, but it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat (such as saunas or hot yoga) and alcohol for the first 24 hours, as these may increase swelling or bruising. Avoiding facial massages or pressure on the treated areas during this time helps ensure optimal results.
Follow-up care and long-term results
A follow-up appointment may be recommended to review results and ensure the treatment has achieved the desired outcome. The effects typically last 3–6 months, depending on factors such as muscle strength, metabolism and the specific treatment area. As the muscles gradually regain movement, lines may reappear.
Many patients choose regular maintenance treatments to prolong results and keep the skin looking smooth and refreshed. Over time, consistent treatments may help soften wrinkle formation, reducing the depth of lines even as the effects wear off.
Mr Paul Wilson and his team will work closely with you to create a tailored treatment plan that supports long-term aesthetic goals.
Risks & complications
Risks and potential complications of wrinkle reduction injections
While wrinkle reduction injections are a minimally invasive treatment, it still carries some risks and potential complications. These may include:
- Temporary redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites
- Mild tenderness or discomfort following treatment
- Asymmetry or uneven results
- Temporary weakness in nearby results
- Drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow
- Infection
Mr Wilson and his team will discuss all potential risks with you during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed before making any decisions.
The cost of wrinkle reduction injections varies depending on the areas treated, the amount of product required and individual factors. Mr Wilson and his team will provide a personalised quote during your consultation, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the costs involved before deciding whether to proceed.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Are wrinkle reduction injections safe?
Wrinkle reduction injections are considered safe when performed by a qualified professional. The procedure uses FDA-approved products and follows strict clinical protocols. Common side effects typically resolve within a few days. Serious complications are rare but can be minimised by choosing an experienced practitioner.
Mr Wilson’s clinic conducts a thorough consultation to assess your suitability for the treatment and ensures the procedure is carried out with precision and care. Safety is always the top priority, making this a trusted option for reducing wrinkles and rejuvenating your appearance.
Do wrinkle reduction injections hurt?
Wrinkle reduction injections involve minimal discomfort and are generally well-tolerated. The procedure uses ultra-fine needles, and many products contain a local anaesthetic to enhance comfort. Additionally, a topical numbing cream can be applied to sensitive areas before the treatment.
Most patients report feeling only a slight pinch or pressure during the injections. The expertise at Mr Wilson’s clinic ensures a gentle and precise technique, helping to make the experience as comfortable as possible. For those concerned about discomfort, options can be discussed during the consultation to address individual needs and ensure a positive treatment experience.
What is the aftercare for wrinkle reduction injections?
Patients are advised to avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to allow the product to settle. Refrain from strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption and exposure to excessive heat (such as saunas) for the first 24 to 48 hours to minimise swelling.
Stay upright for 4 hours post-treatment and avoid applying makeup to the treated area. Any redness or swelling usually subsides quickly, and personalised aftercare instructions are provided to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.
Can multiple areas be treated in a single session?
Multiple areas can be treated during a single wrinkle reduction session. Common combinations include treating forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
During the consultation, your individual concerns will be assessed, and a tailored treatment plan will be devised to address all desired areas effectively. Treating multiple areas simultaneously saves time and ensures a harmonious, balanced outcome. The expertise at Mr Wilson’s clinic ensures precise application, whether focusing on a single concern or enhancing multiple areas, delivering natural-looking results that enhance overall facial aesthetics in just one appointment.
How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?
The results of anti-wrinkle injections typically last 3 to 6 months, depending on factors such as muscle strength, metabolism and the area treated. Over time, the muscles gradually regain movement as the effects wear off, and lines may begin to reappear.
Many patients choose regular maintenance treatments to prolong their results. During your consultation, Mr Wilson will recommend a personalised treatment schedule based on your goals and how your muscles respond over time.
How long do anti-wrinkle injections take to work?
Anti-wrinkle injections do not produce immediate results. Most patients notice improvement within 3 to 5 days, with the full effect visible at 10 to 14 days. Lines and wrinkles gradually soften as the underlying muscles relax, creating a smoother and more refreshed appearance.

Breast Augmentation
A natural increase in volume — restoring shape after hypomastia
Hypomastia is the medical term for naturally underdeveloped breast tissue. It’s a recognised developmental variation, not a flaw — but for many women it affects how comfortable and confident they feel in their own body.
This patient, a mum of two with a completed family, had thought about augmentation for several years. Her request was simple and one I hear often: a natural, modest increase in volume and improved shape — not a dramatic change. On examination she had reduced upper-pole fullness in both breasts with good underlying symmetry.
Rather than reaching for a number, we planned this properly. Measurements, 2D and 3D imaging morphed to her chosen implant, external sizers tried on in clinic, and a home rice test to let her feel the volume for herself. Her choice: a 275cc round, moderate-profile Mentor micro-textured implant, placed subfascially through an inframammary incision — a plan designed to add soft upper-pole fullness in proportion to her petite frame.
You can see in the lateral and oblique views how the goal was balance, not bulk.
The psychological side matters just as much. In appropriately assessed patients, augmentation for hypomastia is consistently associated with improvements in body image, self-confidence and quality of life — and that outcome means as much to me as the surgical one.
Shared with this patient’s full consent.
Results vary from person to person. This is educational and not a recommendation to undergo surgery — any decision should follow a personal consultation.

Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty: What’s the Hype?
Traditional rhinoplasty shaves the hump off the top of your bridge, then rebuilds the roof. DPR lowers the bridge from underneath — keeping your natural dorsum fully intact. 👃
Why people love it 💕
✅ More natural front view (no widening!)
✅ Preserves your dorsal aesthetic lines
✅ Fewer grafts needed
✅ Quicker recovery & less bruising 🤍
✅ Smoother long-term results
The fine print 📝
⚠️ Hump recurrence is the #1 risk
⚠️ Best for straight noses with small/medium humps
⚠️ Technically harder — surgeon experience is everything
⚠️ Rare risks: saddle nose, radix step-off, asymmetry
The hype is real — if you’re a candidate. Always consult a surgeon fluent in BOTH techniques, not just the trendy one. 🤍

Precision in motion. 🦴✨
Meet Paul Wilson — one of the rare surgeons holding dual qualifications in both dentistry and plastic surgery. That unique combination is on full display here, as Paul interprets dental imaging in real time while placing mandibular angle and chin implants.
Facial implant surgery is as much about artistry as it is anatomy. Having a deep understanding of the underlying bony architecture — the kind of knowledge that comes from a background in dentistry — allows for implant placement that’s tailored, precise, and harmonious with each patient’s natural facial structure.
From reading the CBCT scan on screen to refining the jawline and chin projection in the OR, every detail is considered. This is what dual expertise looks like in practice. 💙

Facial implants for jawline and chin enhancement should always be performed by a qualified surgeon following a thorough consultation. Individual results vary.

Gynaecomastia | Before & After
This procedure addresses excess fullness in the male chest caused by gland, fat, or a combination of both.
The aim is not simply to remove tissue, but to improve the overall chest shape for a balanced and natural appearance. As with any operation, success depends on choosing the right technique for the individual`s anatomy and careful surgical planning from the outset.
The initial result is just one stage of the process. Swelling gradually subsides, and the chest continues to refine as healing progresses.

A neck lift is designed to address laxity beneath the chin and along the jawline.
Some patients are less concerned with their face itself, and more with the way their neck has changed over time. Loss of definition, heavier tissue, or loose skin in this area can affect overall facial balance.
A neck lift focuses on restoring a more defined contour through careful surgical planning, with the aim of achieving a result that looks natural for the individual.
As with any procedure, suitability depends on anatomy, skin quality, and the changes being treated.
