Anti-Wrinkle Injections In a Nutshell
Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-surgical solution for wrinkled skin on the face and neck. They are neuromodulating injections, preventing the signals between nerves and muscles at the targeted sites. The signals are temporarily ceased for approximately 3-4 months, during which time wrinkles cannot form.

Your Patient Journey
Skincare Consultation
Our injectable skincare treatments are subject to a consultation. We will ask you about your medical history; please note you will not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If this is the case, we can provide prescription skincare products from the pioneering ZO Skincare range as an alternative to tackling your skin concerns.
If you are suitable for treatment, your practitioner will identify the areas of the face where static wrinkles have occurred.
Treatment
The injections are administered at the precise sites identified by your practitioners. A numbing cream is applied prior to the neuromodulating anti-wrinkle injections.

When you choose Lakewood Dental for your facial aesthetics treatment, you are putting your skin’s welfare in the hands of professionals who truly love what they do.
Our facial practitioners possess a dental background, providing the foundation that allows them to understand the details of facial anatomy and accurate injecting techniques.

FAQs
Which areas of the face can anti-wrinkle injections treat?
With anti-wrinkle injections, it’s possible to address the following concerns:
- Crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes)
- A down-turned mouth
- A drooping jawline
- Eyebrow lines
- Forehead lines
- Nose lines
- Frown lines (between your eyebrows)
Are there any side effects?
Whilst there is no recovery time after anti-wrinkle injections, you may experience some redness and swelling at the injection site. This typically subsides after a week.
Which do I need – anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers?
This depends on your skin concerns. Whilst anti-wrinkle injections diminish wrinkles, dermal fillers replenish volume when the skin begins to struggle to create fibroblasts like collagen and elastin.
Your practitioner will make a thorough assessment of your skin, its structure, and where hydration and skin suppleness have been lost. They can then create a plan to address these issues with anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, or a combination of the two.
