Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by repeated movement. They do not change the structure of your face, add volume, or address skin quality, those concerns are addressed by different treatments. Understanding what anti-wrinkle treatment does and does not do is an important part of deciding whether it is appropriate for you.
Treatment is most effective for dynamic lines, those that appear or deepen with expression. Common areas include horizontal forehead lines, the vertical frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes. Static lines, which are visible even at rest, may improve with treatment but may also benefit from a complementary approach.
Anti-wrinkle treatment suits a wide range of people at different stages. Some individuals choose to start treatment as a preventative measure in their late twenties or early thirties; others begin treatment later when lines have become more established. There is no single right time, and the most appropriate approach is discussed openly at consultation.
All anti-wrinkle treatments at Regener8 Aesthetics are subject to a full consultation and individual suitability assessment. Treatment is not offered where it is not clinically appropriate. If you are unsure whether this treatment is right for you, the consultation is the right place to start, and you are free to take time to decide. Clients who feel anxious before aesthetic appointments are always welcome; see also our anxiety-friendly clinic page.
Booking
Consultations are booked via the Faces Consent platform or by WhatsApp or telephone. You will receive a link to complete a pre-consultation medical questionnaire and consent form online before your appointment, so the clinical discussion can focus on your goals rather than paperwork.
Arrival
The clinic is based in Selly Oak, Birmingham. There is no rush. You are welcome to ask any questions before the consultation formally begins.
Skin Assessment & Medical History
Your practitioner will review your completed medical history, conduct a visual assessment of your skin, and discuss any contraindications. This is the clinical foundation for any treatment recommendation.
Discussion of Goals
An open, honest conversation about what you are hoping to achieve and what is realistically possible. Your practitioner will explain what anti-wrinkle treatment can address, what it cannot, and whether there are other treatments that might also be appropriate for your concerns.
Consent
If you decide to proceed, the consent process is completed. This covers the treatment itself, potential side effects and risks, aftercare, and your expectations. No treatment proceeds without informed consent.
Treatment or Written Plan
Treatment may take place at the same appointment, subject to suitability. If you would prefer time to consider, a written plan is provided and you can book treatment separately. There is no pressure to proceed on the day.
Aftercare & Review
Written aftercare instructions are provided. A review appointment is offered at two weeks to assess the result. Any questions after your treatment can be directed to the clinic by WhatsApp.
Will it hurt?
Anti-wrinkle injections use very fine needles and most clients describe the sensation as a mild, brief sting. The discomfort is typically short-lived and manageable for the vast majority of people.
Will I look overdone?
A conservative, natural approach is used, particularly for first-time clients. The aim is a refreshed appearance, not an obvious change. Results that appear overdone are usually the result of too much product, not the treatment itself.
What about recovery time?
Most clients are presentable immediately or within a short time. Small marks at injection sites may be visible briefly. You will be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and extreme heat for 24 hours.
What if it doesn't work?
Results are assessed at the two-week review appointment. Where appropriate, minor adjustments can be made. Your practitioner will discuss realistic outcomes for your anatomy at consultation.
What if I regret it?
Anti-wrinkle treatment is temporary. The effects wear off over approximately three to four months. It is not possible to immediately reverse the product, which is why a conservative approach and thorough consultation are important for first-time clients.
Is it safe?
When carried out by a qualified practitioner following a thorough consultation, anti-wrinkle treatment has a well-established safety profile. Your medical history is reviewed before any treatment is agreed. All treatments carry potential risks, which are discussed in full at consultation and in the consent process.
Following your anti-wrinkle treatment, please follow the aftercare instructions provided. The key points are:
Does it hurt?
Anti-wrinkle injections use very fine needles and most clients describe any discomfort as mild and brief: typically a small scratch or sting at the injection point. For most areas, no topical anaesthetic is required, though this can be discussed at consultation if you are particularly concerned.
Will I look natural?
Yes, when treatment is well-planned and appropriately dosed. At Regener8, the approach is conservative, particularly for first-time clients, with the aim of a refreshed, natural appearance rather than an obvious or frozen look.
What if I don't like the result?
Anti-wrinkle injections are temporary, with effects typically lasting three to four months. A review appointment is offered at two weeks. Where appropriate, adjustments can be discussed. It is not possible to immediately reverse the product, which is why a thorough consultation and conservative approach for first-time clients matters.
How long does it take to work?
Results develop gradually over approximately 10–14 days. You will not see the full effect immediately. A review appointment is offered at two weeks to assess the outcome.
What areas can be treated?
The most commonly treated areas are the forehead, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet around the eyes. Other areas may be appropriate for some individuals. All treatment decisions are made following a full consultation and individual assessment.
