Book NowWhat to Expect During Treatment
1. Consultation & Assessment
Dr Katherine will discuss your concerns, aesthetic goals, and medical history. She'll assess your facial anatomy and muscle movement to create a personalised treatment plan that achieves natural-looking results.
2. Preparation
Photos are taken prior to treatment, the skin is then cleansed and treatment points are carefully marked. Topical anaesthetic may be applied if required.
3. Injection
Using ultra-fine needles, Dr Katherine will make precise micro-injections into the targeted muscles. You may feel a small pinch or slight pressure, but discomfort is minimal and brief. The entire injection process typically takes just a few minutes.
4. Aftercare Instructions
Dr Katherine will provide you with aftercare instructions. You can return to normal activities immediately, with a few simple precautions for the first 24 hours (such as avoiding lying down for 4 hours and strenuous exercise).
5. Follow-Up
A complimentary review appointment is offered at 2 weeks to assess your results and make any minor adjustments if needed. Subsequent treatments are typically scheduled every 3-4 months.
Recommended Treatment Schedule
Anti-wrinkle injections typically last 3-4 months, though this can vary between individuals depending on factors such as muscle strength, metabolism, and lifestyle.
With regular treatments, many patients find that results last longer and require less frequent top-ups as muscles become trained to relax.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
No. When administered by an experienced practitioner like Dr Katherine, anti-wrinkle injections create natural-looking results. The goal is to soften lines and refresh your appearance while maintaining your ability to make natural facial expressions. Dr Katherine's precise technique ensures you still look like yourself, just more refreshed and youthful.
Most patients find the treatment very comfortable. The needles used are ultra-fine, and you may only feel a small pinch or slight pressure during the injection. The entire process is quick, typically taking just a few minutes. Topical numbing cream can be applied if you're particularly sensitive, though most patients don't require it.
Results typically last 3-4 months, though this varies between individuals. Factors such as muscle strength, metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated can affect longevity. With regular treatments, many patients find that results last progressively longer as muscles become trained to relax. Maintenance treatments every 3-4 months help sustain optimal results.
Anti-wrinkle treatment takes 2 weeks to see the full effects. This is why Dr Katherine schedules a complimentary review appointment at 2 weeks to assess your results and make any minor adjustments if needed.
Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles (lines caused by facial expressions), while dermal fillers add volume to plump static wrinkles and enhance facial contours. They work in different ways and are often used together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr Katherine will advise which treatment or combination is best for your specific concerns.
Yes, anti-wrinkle injections can be combined with other treatments such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, microneedling, or skin boosters for enhanced, comprehensive results. Dr Katherine will create a personalised treatment plan that addresses all your aesthetic concerns and achieves your desired outcomes.
There's no specific age to start. While many people begin in their late 20s to early 30s for preventative purposes, others start later to treat established lines. The key is when you start to notice lines that concern you or when you want to prevent them from deepening. Dr Katherine will assess your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate approach for your age and concerns.
There is no downtime. You can return to work and normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience slight redness or small bumps at injection sites, but these typically resolve within an hour or two. Minor bruising can occur but is uncommon and easily concealed with makeup if needed.
