Anti-Wrinkle
Injections.
Prescription anti-wrinkle tailored for soft, movement-friendly results. Never frozen — always you.
What to expect.
Rachel uses low-dose, precision injection protocols to soften expressive lines while preserving natural movement. Every treatment begins with a facial mapping consultation — dose, pattern and placement are adjusted to the way your face actually moves.
Areas we treat: Forehead · Frown lines · Crow's feet
Three steps.
What it costs.
Honest pricing, no hidden fees. Most clients start with one or two areas — three is for clients who already know what they want.
| Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| 1 area — forehead, frown lines, or crow’s feet | £150 |
| 2 areas | £180 |
| 3 areas | £210 |
Two-week review included on every treatment. Free 30-minute consultation if you’re new — book online or message me on WhatsApp.
What it actually is.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a Prescription Only Medicine — botulinum toxin Type A — that I prescribe and inject myself. You’ll have heard one of the brand names: “Botox” is one of several. They all work the same way.
When I inject a small dose into a specific muscle, it temporarily blocks the signal between the nerve and the muscle. The muscle softens. The skin lying over it stops creasing the way it has been. Lines that were starting to settle in get a chance to fade.
Areas I treat here: forehead lines, glabella (the “11s” between your brows), and lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet around the eyes). Advanced areas — masseter for jaw slimming, brow lift, lip flip, gummy smile, neck lift — live on the Advanced Anti-Wrinkle page.
The goal is never to stop your face moving. It’s to soften the lines without freezing the expression. You should still look like you. Still smile, still frown, still show feeling — just with fewer creases settling in for the long haul.
It’s prescription only because it has to be. I prescribe it, I source it through licensed pharmacies, and every vial is traceable. If a clinic offers a discount on “Botox” without an in-person consultation — that’s a red flag.
Who this is for.
You’re a good candidate if you:
- Have lines that are deepening with movement and want to slow that down
- Are 18 or over — I don’t treat under-18s, full stop
- Aren’t pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive
- Are happy to come in for a free consultation first — no needle on the same day
I won’t treat you — or I’ll ask you to wait — if you:
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive
- Have an active skin infection in the treatment area
- Have certain neuromuscular conditions — we’ll talk it through at consultation
- Are taking specific antibiotics that interact with the medicine
- Have wedding photos or a big event in the next 14 days — results take that long to settle
From door to done.
First appointment? We start with a proper consultation. That bit’s free, 30 minutes, no needle.
When you come in for treatment: kettle on. We go over your medical questionnaire — anything new since last time, any meds, anything I should know. I clean the treatment area, mark a few injection points, and inject. Each injection is a tiny scratch — over in seconds. The whole appointment is around 20 minutes.
You can drive home. Light makeup is fine after a few hours. Most clients head straight back to work or to pick the kids up.
The 24 hours rules.
- Stay upright for 4 hours — no lying flat, no leaning over
- No strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- No saunas, steam rooms or hot yoga for 24 hours
- No facials or facial massage for 14 days
- Sleep on your back if you can manage it for the first night
- Mild redness or pinpoint marks for an hour or two are normal
- Bruising is uncommon but possible — arnica gel helps if it happens
If anything worries you in the first week — the small bruise that’s getting bigger, a feeling that one side has dropped — message me on WhatsApp. I’d rather you ask than wonder.
What I tell everyone.
No medical procedure is zero-risk. The common things — small bruise at an injection point, mild headache for a day, brief asymmetry that settles by the 2-week review — are usually mild and self-resolving.
Rare complications include eyelid or brow drop (typically resolves within weeks as the medicine wears off), and very rarely, an allergic reaction to the product. I’m trained to spot and manage these. We go through every risk in detail at consultation, you sign a consent form, and you leave with my direct number.
