Looking for a smoother, fresher-looking face without surgery? You’re not alone. One of the most popular and effective ways to reduce fine lines and dynamic wrinkles is through anti-wrinkle injections, often referred to by the brand name Botox. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know—from how it works, to what to expect, and how it fits into your anti-ageing skincare routine.

What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections use small amounts of a purified protein called botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. When injected into specific areas, they help soften expression lines and prevent new ones from forming.

 Botox is the most well-known brand, but there are other approved options available. All are designed to help you achieve natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

What Can They Treat?

1. Forehead lines
2. Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
3. Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
4. Bunny lines (on the nose)
5. Gummy smiles
6. Chin dimpling
7. Neck bands
8. Jawline slimming

Treatments are tailored to your facial anatomy and goals. Book a consultation to discover what’s right for you.

How Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?

Every time you smile, frown or squint, your muscles contract and your skin folds. Over time, these expressions form permanent lines. By gently relaxing the muscles beneath the surface, botulinum toxin injections prevent the skin from creasing, leaving your complexion smoother and more youthful.

Botox doesn’t freeze your face—it just relaxes the muscles enough to reduce lines while preserving expression.

What to Expect from Your First Treatment

1. Quick appointment (usually 15–30 minutes)
2. Minimal discomfort
3. Little to no downtime
4. Results begin in 3–5 days, full effect at 2 weeks
5. Lasts around 3–4 months

Is It Safe?

Yes—when administered by a qualified professional. At iSkincare, all treatments are performed by a Registered Nurse and Independent Prescriber with over 25 years of medical experience, ensuring your safety, comfort, and the highest aesthetic standards.
