Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Anti-Wrinkle Treatment in Solihull & Knowle
Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly know as ‘Botox’, is the all-round term used to describe the anti-wrinkle, muscle relaxant: an injectable treatment used to reduce signs of ageing. With over 30 years of medical history in the NHS, it can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as migraines, muscles spasms, cerebral palsy, bladder instability and squints.
In fact, it was noted that after injecting squints with Botox®, wrinkles diminished on the treated side. It was then introduced into the aesthetic world. With its extensive history in the NHS, it has a vast amount of safety data and has become the most common aesthetic procedure.
Anti-wrinkle treatment is used to treat dynamic lines (lines which appear from facial expressions, such as when you smile or frown), whilst also promoting the production of collagen and elastin. If your concerns are around static wrinkles, dermal fillers might be a more suitable option.

Anti-wrinkle treatment isn’t just for lines and wrinkles
Anti-wrinkle injections can be used for many cosmetic purposes, with common sites including crows’ feet around the eyes, forehead lines and the frown lines between the brows.
Other areas that can be treated include muscles causing a gummy smile, downturned mouths, strong muscle bands in the neck (platysmal bands, sometimes known as a Nefertiti lift) and sagging jawlines. The injections are also a useful medical treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and jaw clenching (bruxism).
Anti-wrinkle injections into the masseter muscle (jaw muscles) has many benefits. Cosmetically it can help to slim the face, but it also helps with many medical issues such as jaw pain (temperomandibular dysfunction), jaw clenching and teeth grinding causing damage to teeth, headaches, and teeth and facial neuralgia.
Results can be tailored to suit each individual, whether you prefer a frozen look or a softer more natural appearance.

Very informative consultation explaining chosen procedure. I felt very confident after such an in-depth discussion with Dr Hill to go ahead with treatment.
Excellent service with honest and informative advice. I totally trusted Lorraine to freshen my face and not to give me a surprised doll like look! I will be returning. Beautiful setting too.
“Beyond excellent! Had Botox today by the incredible Dr Hill… Wouldn’t trust anyone else and suggest you don’t either.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How frequently do I need anti-wrinkle treatment?
Anti-wrinkle injection effects are only temporary. It is most common for clients to require retreating after 3-4months, but many individuals find their Botox does not wear off for up to 6 months. Some people have a treatment only occasionally for a special event.
Am I a suitable candidate for anti-wrinkle treatment?
Pregnancy and breast feeding are absolute contra-indications to treatment. Some health conditions including nerve and muscle damage may be unsuitable for anti-wrinkle treatments.
Is there any down time with anti-wrinkle injections?
There is rarely any down time with anti-wrinkle treatment, however, treatment would be best avoided just before a special social occasion in case of bruising.
How soon can I travel after using treatment?
You are able to fly immediately after anti-wrinkle treatment.
When can I have a drink after using Botox?
It is recommended not to drink heavily within 24 hours. It is best to avoid anything that may increase blood flow to the face that may cause anti-wrinkle treatment to spread to the wrong muscles. One or two drinks is unlikely to cause a problem.
When can I exercise?
It is recommended not to exercise heavily within 24 hours. It is best to avoid anything that may increase blood flow to the face that may cause the treatment to spread to the wrong muscles.
Am I too young? When is the best time to start?
We treat clients of all ages. Deep expression lines can set in, in your early 20’s or if you are lucky not until your 50’s or 60’s. The best time to start a anti-wrinkle treatment is before the lines get too deep. If you catch them early the lines can be removed completely, if they have already set in, it can take some time for them to soften, and there may always be a faint line there.
I want to look natural, I don't want a shiny forehead, is that possible?
Results of treatment are dose-dependant, if you want to reduce the deep lines but still retain some muscle movement, we use less product. If you still have some movement in your forehead it won’t become shiny.
