Anti wrinkle treatments
At EQLibrium Clinic, anti-wrinkle injections are offered as a aesthetic treatment designed to temporarily relax specific facial muscles that contribute to the formation of expression lines. These treatments are used to soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, support facial harmony, and create a more rested, refreshed appearance — without changing who you are.

Areas & Concerns Commonly Treated:
Anti-wrinkle injections may be used (following consultation and prescription) to address a wide range of facial and neck concerns, including: Upper Face Frown lines (glabellar lines) Vertical lines between the eyebrows associated with concentration or frowning. Forehead lines Horizontal lines caused by repeated eyebrow elevation. Crow’s feet Fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes, often visible when smiling. Bunny lines Wrinkles across the nose that appear during smiling or squinting. Mid & Lower Face Downturned mouth corners Muscles that pull the mouth downward, contributing to a sad or tired appearance. Chin dimpling / pebbling Overactivity of the mentalis muscle creating texture changes in the chin. Lip tension and perioral lines (in selected cases) Where excessive muscle activity contributes to puckering or strain. Gummy smile (where clinically appropriate) When upper lip elevator muscles expose excessive gingiva. Jawline, Neck & Functional Concerns Jaw tension and facial clenching (where appropriate) Overactive jaw muscles may contribute to facial strain, headaches, or hypertrophy. Neck bands Prominent vertical muscle bands contributing to visible neck ageing. Downward facial pull Certain muscles contribute to lower-face descent and heaviness. All treatment plans are individualised. Not every concern is suitable for treatment, and not every muscle should be treated. Final decisions are always made following a prescriber consultation and full facial assessment. Beyond Lines: What Muscle Modulation Can Influence In addition to visible wrinkles, carefully planned muscle-relaxing treatments may support improvement in: Facial tension patterns Resting facial expression Muscle imbalance Skin folding and creasing Early structural strain Over-dominant depressor activity Expression heaviness Perceived tiredness or severity This is why anti-wrinkle injections are often used not simply to “remove lines”, but to support overall facial harmony and muscular balance. It is a myth that this can only be used to treat the upper face. A knowledgeable and experienced practitioner will be able to treat the lower face too and can achieve amazing results. It is possible to treat hooded eyes with a brow lift, nose wrinkles & droops, fix downturned or gummy smiles, slim the face by treating the jaw and even enhance and define lip shape. These treatments do not fill the skin. Instead, they work on the muscular cause of dynamic wrinkles and are often combined with other regenerative or skin-supporting treatments for optimal outcomes.
Our Philosophy:
At EQLibrium Clinic, anti-wrinkle injections are not about freezing faces or following trends. They are used as part of a considered, anatomical and regenerative approach to facial ageing. Our focus is on: Preserving natural expression Supporting long-term skin and muscle health Enhancing balance rather than altering identity Integrating injectable treatments with advanced skincare and regenerative procedures Every face is different. Every treatment plan is individual.
The procedure
Consultation:
Your prescriber consultation is a medical assessment, not a sales appointment. During this appointment, the prescriber will:
Take a full medical history
Assess your facial anatomy and muscle function
Discuss your concerns and treatment goals
Explain the treatment, potential benefits, and limitations
Go through possible side effects and risks
Determine whether treatment is clinically appropriate
Decide whether a prescription can be issued
Only if the prescriber is satisfied that treatment is safe and suitable will a prescription be provided. Without this consultation, treatment cannot legally go ahead.
At EQLibrium Clinic, this process is strictly followed to protect patient safety, clinical standards, and ethical practice.
Booking a Consultation
Because anti-wrinkle injections are prescription-only, you cannot book treatment directly without first having a consultation.
To begin your journey, you will need to book:
A full aesthetic consultation
A prescriber assessment
Our team will guide you through each step, ensuring the process is professional, transparent and fully compliant.
Treatment Process:
The procedure is quick & virtually painless. Your practitioner will administer a series of tiny injections into targeted areas using a fine needle. The entire process can be completed in a matter of minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas.
Results and Recovery:
Following the treatment, you can expect to see initial results within a few days, with the full effects becoming evident after approximately two weeks. This procedure is known for its minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, we advise you to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for a short period.
Wellbeing Ethical Practice & Patient Wellbeing All anti-wrinkle treatments at EQLibrium Clinic are carried out in accordance with current UK law and professional standards. As these treatments involve a prescription-only medicine (POM), every client must undergo a consultation with an independent qualified prescriber before treatment can be provided. We believe aesthetic medicine should always support wellbeing, confidence and informed choice. We reserve the right to decline or postpone treatment if: It is not clinically appropriate Expectations are unrealistic There are concerns around physical or psychological suitability Further medical input is required Our priority is always long-term facial health, safety and ethical care — not trends or pressure to treat.
