ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS
Looking for anti-wrinkle injections (Botox) in east London? We've got you.
Temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, Botulinum toxin Type A anti-wrinkle injections are a household name and have become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world. FDA approved, and with over four decades of safe use under its belt, when injected into the right facial muscles these tiny injections can subtly reduce movement to reverse one big sign of ageing: wrinkles. With Dr Mike’s minimalist approach, nobody need ever know.
In the hands of a practitioner with proper training and experience, the results of this one treatment alone will leave you feeling more rejuvenated but can be paired with skin boosters and filler depending on your goals.
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as Botox, relax specific facial muscles to reduce wrinkles, smooth expression lines, and prevent new lines from forming.
​
How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
They temporarily block nerve signals to targeted muscles, softening lines caused by facial expressions such as frowning, smiling, and raising the eyebrows.
​
What areas can be treated with Botox?
Common areas include forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, lip lines, under-eye lines, masseters (jawline slimming), gummy smile, neck bands (Nefertiti lift), bunny lines, and excessive underarm sweating.
​
How long does Botox last?
Most clients see results for between 3–6 months, while hyperhidrosis treatment lasts 9–12 months.
​
When will I see results?
You’ll start seeing changes in 3–5 days, with full results visible at 2 weeks.
​
Does the treatment hurt?
Treatment is quick and virtually painless thanks to ultra-fine needles and numbing cream.
​
Will the results look natural?
Yes - Dr. Mike specialises in a minimalist approach that maintains natural facial expression.
​
Who performs the treatment?
All treatments are carried out by Dr. Michael Aicken, an experienced aesthetic doctor and GMC registered GP with advanced training.
​
Can anti-wrinkle injections be combined with other treatments?
Yes. They pair well with skin boosters, chemical peels, and dermal fillers for a more complete rejuvenation plan.
​
Is there any downtime?
There’s minimal downtime. You can return to normal activity immediately, avoiding strenuous exercise for a few hours. To minimise infection risk at the injection points, we advise no make up or creams for 12 hours.
​
Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?
Botulinum toxin Type A has been used safely for over 40 years and is FDA-approved when administered by a trained medical professional.
​
How long does the appointment take?
The treatment itself takes around five minutes, making it a popular “lunchtime procedure.” Please allow up to 45 minutes for consultation, application of anaesthetic cream and consent forms.
