Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Advanced anti-wrinkle & muscle-relaxing treatments
Softening dynamic lines, preventing deeper wrinkle formation, and improving overall facial balance through carefully tailored anti-wrinkle treatment.
How do anti-wrinkle treatments work?
Anti-wrinkle treatments work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles responsible for repetitive movement and expression lines.
Over time, repeated muscle contraction gradually causes dynamic lines to become more deeply etched into the skin, particularly across areas such as the forehead, frown lines, and around the eyes.
By reducing excessive muscle activity in carefully selected areas, we are able to soften visible lines while helping to prevent them becoming more deeply established over time.
Treatment can also be used more strategically to improve facial balance, reduce muscle tension, slim hypertrophic muscles, and improve certain functional or structural concerns.
Our approach
At The Look by Louise, anti-wrinkle treatment is approached conservatively and anatomically, with a strong focus on maintaining natural facial movement and expression.
Every face moves differently, which is why treatment is always tailored individually based on muscle strength, facial anatomy, movement patterns, and overall treatment goals.
Our focus is not on creating a “frozen” appearance, but on softening excessive movement while maintaining balance, expression, and natural facial character.
Treatment Areas
-
Upper face treatment focuses on the muscles responsible for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
Treatment can be tailored depending on movement patterns, line severity, muscle strength, and desired outcome.
1 Area
Typically treats either the forehead, frown lines, or crow’s feet individually depending on the primary concern being addressed.
2 Areas
Most commonly combines areas such as the forehead and frown lines or frown lines and crow’s feet for more balanced upper face treatment.
3 Areas
Treats the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet together to create more comprehensive upper face softening and movement control.
-
A gummy smile can occur when the upper lip elevates excessively during smiling due to overactivity within specific elevator muscles.
Anti-wrinkle treatment helps to relax this movement slightly, reducing excessive gum show while maintaining a natural smile.
-
A lip flip works by relaxing the muscle surrounding the upper lip, allowing the lip to roll slightly outward.
This can create a softer upper lip appearance and increased visible lip show without adding filler volume.
-
Treatment can be used to reduce excessive widening or flaring of the nostrils during facial expression by relaxing specific muscles around the nose.
This helps create softer and more balanced movement throughout the central face.
-
The DAO muscles contribute to downward pull at the corners of the mouth.
Overactivity within these muscles can contribute to a heavier or downturned lower face appearance.
Relaxing these muscles can soften lower face heaviness and improve mouth corner positioning.
-
Fine vertical lines around the mouth develop due to repetitive muscle movement, collagen decline, and skin ageing over time.
Carefully placed anti-wrinkle treatment can help soften excessive movement contributing to line formation within this area.
-
The platysma muscles within the neck can gradually contribute to downward pull through the jawline and lower face over time.
The Nefertiti technique works by relaxing these muscles strategically, helping improve jawline definition and soften visible neck banding.
-
The masseter muscles are responsible for jaw clenching and chewing.
In some patients, these muscles become enlarged through clenching, grinding, or natural muscle hypertrophy, contributing to facial width and tension.
Treatment helps reduce excessive muscle activity and gradually soften the lower face while also improving symptoms associated with jaw tension and teeth grinding.
-
Strategic anti-wrinkle treatment can be used to reduce downward pull from brow depressor muscles, allowing the brows to sit slightly higher and creating a more open appearance around the eyes.
-
Overactivity within the mentalis muscle can create dimpling or “orange peel” texture across the chin.
Treatment helps relax excessive muscle contraction, allowing the chin surface to appear smoother and more balanced.
Why consultation matters
Facial movement patterns, anatomy, muscle strength, and ageing processes differ significantly between individuals.
Careful assessment is therefore essential in determining which muscles should be treated, how movement should be balanced, and what level of treatment is appropriate for maintaining natural-looking results.
At The Look by Louise, treatment is always tailored individually rather than following fixed dosing patterns or over-treated trends.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our treatment approach focuses on softening excessive movement while maintaining natural facial expression and movement.
-
Initial effects are often noticeable within several days, with full results typically developing around 10–14 days following treatment.
-
Results typically last around 3–4 months, although this varies depending on muscle strength, metabolism, lifestyle, and treatment area.
-
Once treatment gradually wears off, muscle activity simply returns to its normal baseline over time.
-
In some clients, yes. Reducing repetitive muscle movement earlier can help slow the formation and deepening of expression lines over time.
-
Consultations can be booked directly through our website.
We require a £100 deposit to secure all injectable consultations. Should you decide to proceed with treatment on the day, this amount is deducted from the overall treatment cost.
When booking your appointment, sufficient time is allocated for both consultation and treatment where appropriate, allowing treatment to be carried out on the same day should you wish to proceed following assessment.
This allows us to fully assess facial anatomy, discuss treatment suitability and goals in detail, and create an appropriate treatment plan before proceeding safely and responsibly.
-
Yes, all anti-wrinkle treatments require a consultation prior to treatment being carried out.
This allows us to assess suitability safely, review medical history, discuss your treatment goals, and ensure treatment is prescribed appropriately.
For new clients, we also use this time to assess facial anatomy and movement patterns in detail so treatment can be tailored specifically to you.
-
We offer a complimentary review appointment approximately 2 weeks following treatment.
Anti-wrinkle treatment takes time to fully settle, with final results typically developing around 10–14 days after treatment.
This review allows us to assess how your muscles have responded once the treatment has fully taken effect and ensure movement remains balanced, natural, and appropriately controlled.
Where clinically appropriate, small adjustments can be made during this appointment if required.
