Soften fine lines and expression wrinkles with a light, natural touch. A subtle, refreshed look that still moves and feels like you — never frozen or overdone.
Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular ways to smooth expression lines and prevent new ones from forming — and done well, the results are wonderfully natural. At The Elegance Clinic the aim is always a softer, fresher version of you, not a blank, over-treated face.
Anti-wrinkle treatment uses a prescription-only medicine to gently relax the small muscles responsible for expression lines. Every time we frown, squint or raise our eyebrows, these muscles crease the skin above them. Over the years those creases become etched-in lines. By softening the muscle activity, the skin above is smoothed and given the chance to settle.
Because it is a prescription-only medicine, your treatment is prescribed by a qualified independent prescriber (a practising hospital doctor) following a face-to-face assessment, in line with UK regulations, and then carried out personally by Lorraine. That combination of proper prescribing and careful, unhurried technique is what keeps results looking natural and safe.
The treatment temporarily reduces the signals between the nerve and the muscle at the areas being treated. With the muscle relaxed, it stops pulling on the overlying skin, so existing lines soften and new ones are discouraged from deepening. Nothing is added or filled — this is about gently calming over-active muscles, which is why the result is movement that feels lighter and more relaxed rather than lost.
The dose and the exact points are tailored to your face, your muscle strength and the look you want. A little goes a long way, and a considered, conservative approach almost always gives the most flattering, natural finish. Because muscles vary from person to person — and even from one side of the face to the other — treatment is always mapped to your anatomy rather than a one-size-fits-all pattern. This is also why the first appointment includes an honest conversation about what is realistic, so the result feels refreshing rather than surprising.
Anti-wrinkle treatment is versatile and can be used across the upper face and, with more advanced techniques, elsewhere:
At your consultation, Lorraine and the prescriber will discuss which areas are suitable for you and what a natural, balanced result would look like.
We offer more than one anti-wrinkle product simply so the treatment can be matched to you — never to sell you the dearer one. Our standard injections are the long-established, trusted choice with a well-known profile, and they're exactly right for most people. A newer premium formulation is also available; some clients prefer it because it can act a little faster and, for some, last a touch longer. Both work in the same fundamental way to relax expression muscles, and both give a lovely, natural result. Which one suits you depends on your goals, your skin and your history — not on price — and plenty of our clients are perfectly happy on the standard option year after year. Lorraine will talk you through the honest pros and cons at your consultation and help you choose, with genuinely no pressure either way. Whichever you have, it remains a prescription-only medicine prescribed by a qualified independent prescriber (a practising hospital doctor).
A relaxed, no-pressure chat with Lorraine, plus a prescriber assessment to make sure treatment is right and safe for you.
The injections themselves take around 10–15 minutes, using very fine needles at precise points across the treatment area.
Effects begin to show over the following 3–14 days as the treated muscles gently relax and lines soften.
A review makes sure you're happy with the result, which typically lasts around 3–4 months before a top-up.
Downtime is minimal. Most people return to their day straight away. You may notice tiny pinpoint marks or slight redness at the injection points, which usually fades quickly. For the first few hours it's best to avoid rubbing or pressing the treated area, and to skip strenuous exercise, saunas and lying flat for the rest of the day. Lorraine will give you clear, simple aftercare guidance so your results settle beautifully.
Anti-wrinkle treatment should always be prescriber-led — and here it is.

Treatments are fully insured, unhurried and one to one, with a genuine focus on natural results and honest advice. If a treatment isn't right for you, we'll say so. It's the reassurance our clients mention time and again.

“Being a guy it felt a bit awkward at first, but Lorraine instantly makes you feel at home — never rushed, always recommending what's right rather than selling. The results have been amazing.”
A simple, no-jargon guide to how anti-wrinkle (wrinkle relaxation) treatment works, what it can treat, and what to expect.
Every time we frown, squint or raise our eyebrows, the muscle contracts and folds the skin above it. Over the years, those repeated folds become etched-in lines.
The treatment gently calms that muscle activity, so the skin above is smoothed and new lines are discouraged from deepening — while your natural expression stays intact.
