ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS
What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-surgical treatment designed to gently relax the muscles that create expression lines, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. When these muscles are softened, the overlying skin appears smoother and fine lines are reduced.
At Joanne Helen Aesthetics, treatments are always tailored to your individual facial structure and delivered conservatively. The aim is to soften lines while maintaining natural movement and expression.

Consultation Required
A face-to-face consultation is required for all new clients prior to treatment. Please allow at least 3 working days before your desired appointment date.
What Happens During Anti-Wrinkle Treatment?
Anti-wrinkle treatment is a straightforward procedure carried out safely by a fully qualified and insured practitioner.
Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough face-to-face consultation. We will discuss your concerns, what you would like to achieve and whether treatment is appropriate for you. A medical prescriber will also review your medical history and assess your suitability for treatment.
Preparing the Skin
On the day of your appointment the treatment area will be carefully cleansed. Most clients find the treatment very comfortable, but a small amount of numbing cream can be applied if required.
Treatment
Using a very fine needle, small amounts of product are placed into targeted facial muscles. The treatment itself usually takes just a few minutes. Initial results often begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full results developing over approximately 14 days.
Aftercare and Recovery
There is no downtime following treatment, although a few simple aftercare guidelines should be followed. You can return to most normal activities straight away. Mild redness, swelling or small bruises may occasionally occur but usually settle within a few days.
Review Appointment
A follow-up appointment is arranged to review your results and make any small adjustments if needed.
Results typically last around three to four months, and maintenance treatments can be discussed during your review
How to Prepare for Anti-Wrinkle Injections
To help minimise bruising and ensure the best possible results, there are a few simple steps to follow before your appointment:
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment
• If possible, avoid blood-thinning or anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen for around one week beforehand (unless medically required – always follow your GP’s advice)
• Let me know if you are currently taking antibiotics, as some may affect treatment timing
• Stop using active skincare products such as retinol or glycolic acid 24 hours before treatment
• Avoid strenuous exercise immediately before and after your appointment
• If possible, attend your appointment without make-up
If you are unsure about anything before your appointment, please feel free to ask — I am always happy to guide you.
