What is anti-wrinkle injection?

Anti-wrinkle injection is a relatively small protein that enters the ends of the nerve endings, which excite the muscles, reducing its effect, which translates into a reduction in expression lines.

Its correct name is NBTA. NTBA in its pure form is wrapped in several different proteins, among which are mostly hemagglutinins or HA.
In the process of isolating the bacteria, pharmaceutical laboratories extract NTBA together with these HA and form conglomerates of different molecular weight. In this way, each laboratory assigns a different name to that conglomerate and gives it a generic and a commercial name.

Botulinum toxin in London: how a natural result is achieved

When someone says that “you can tell they’ve had botulinum toxin”, it is almost never the fault of the product: it is the way it has been used. When properly applied, botulinum toxin does not freeze the face or erase facial expression; it simply softens wrinkles while allowing your expression to remain your own. The difference between a natural and an artificial result lies, above all, in the medical judgement of the person administering it.

The key to a natural result

It does not depend on the brand
It depends on the diagnosis
It depends on the dose
It depends on each patient’s anatomy

If you are looking for a natural result in London, the most important decision is who you choose to administer your treatment.

Why does some botulinum toxin show and other botulinum toxin not?

A natural result is not about using less botulinum toxin. It is about using the right amount, in the right muscles, and in the right places.

When the result looks artificial

Too many muscles are relaxed.
The wrong muscles are treated.
Facial expression becomes stiff or restricted.
The forehead or eyebrows may appear unnatural.
The treatment becomes noticeable.

When the result looks natural

Only the muscles that need treatment are targeted.
The dose is tailored to the individual.
Natural facial movement is preserved.
The face looks more rested, not frozen.
The treatment enhances the face without revealing itself.

The goal is not to stop your face from moving. It is to soften wrinkles while keeping your expression unmistakably yours.

What sets an expert in botulinum toxin apart?

A good result begins with reading the face: how it moves, which muscles dominate, what asymmetries exist.

1. Reads your face

The first step is to understand how your face moves, both at rest and during expression.

2. Assesses your muscles

The doctor identifies which muscles are most active and looks for any natural asymmetries.

3. Creates a personalised plan

The treatment is tailored to your individual anatomy, facial movement and desired outcome.

4. Adjusts dose and injection points

The doctor determines the appropriate dose, depth and distribution to achieve a balanced, natural result.

5. Refines the result

The outcome is assessed to ensure the face looks refreshed while maintaining natural expression and movement.

Dr. Iñigo De Felipe is one of the European authorities on botulinum toxin, precisely because of this personalised approach geared towards a natural result.

Is this a treatment for women, or can a natural result be achieved in men?

It is by no means a treatment specifically for women. More and more men are turning to botulinum toxin. The approach, however, may differ:

Botulinum toxin for women

Soften expression lines.
Refresh the appearance.
Preserve natural facial movement.
Maintain a balanced, expressive look.

Botulinum toxin for men

Soften the frown.
Create a more rested appearance.
Preserve masculine facial features.
Maintain the strength and character of the expression.
Avoid an overly raised or feminised brow.

How long does the effect last and how often should it be repeated?

After treatment

The effect develops gradually as the targeted muscles begin to relax.

3–4 months

For expression lines, the effect typically lasts around three to four months, after which muscle movement gradually returns.

Over time

With repeated treatments, many patients find that they can gradually space out their sessions.

Your treatment schedule

There is no one-size-fits-all schedule. The timing of future treatments is adjusted according to how your muscles and expression respond.

There is no need to «touch up» prematurely.
The right time for your next treatment depends on your individual response and should be assessed by your doctor.

Anti-wrinkle treatment London

The anti-wrinkle treatment at our dermatology clinic in London is performed on an outpatient basis, it does not require prior anesthesia and recovery is immediate.

What does the treatment consist of?

The anti-wrinkle treatment in London consists of introducing a few drops of the product into the skin with a very fine needle, very superficially, in the area where there are facial expression lines.

The product is stored in a small sterile glass container.

In this way, the specialist doctor dilutes it with a little physiological saline solution and it is ready for injection. It is inserted with a small 30g needle to minimize damage to skin points, under which the muscles you want to relax are located.

In extreme situations, it is possible to apply a little anesthesia or cold compress, but that lengthens a procedure that should last one or two minutes and is not that painful.

How to reduce wrinkles on the face?

Discover those parts of our face where we can apply the treatment to reduce wrinkles, prevent sagging and enjoy a younger and fresher appearance. The most common indications are the wrinkles of the upper third of the face: the frown lines between the eyebrows, the horizontal lines of the forehead, and the «crow’s feet» around the eyes. With more advanced techniques, other areas and specific expressions can be treated. In all cases, the goal is similar: to soften the wrinkle whilst maintaining the natural expressiveness of the face.

Frequently asked questions about botulinum toxin

Patients looking for information on how to remove wrinkles in our London clinic:

Are the results immediate?

No. The full effect is seen between 5 and 15 days later.

How long do results last?

The anti-wrinkle injection is completely eliminated from the nerve endings in 6 months. That means that by 3 months after the injection, 40-50% of the effect of the drug is still observed. Compared with drugs, the anti-wrinkle injection is a long-acting drug and takes a long time to eliminate.

Can anti-wrinkle injection move?

Anti-wrinkle injection is such a small molecule that it is not affected by gravity but by concentration in body fluids. It moves by diffusion but not by migration. Its effect is exerted approximately one centimetre around the injection point.

Is it a safe treatment?

Yes. It is one of the safest drugs in medicine.
In fact, it has been injected for decades and millions of treatments have been performed.
It is estimated that in the United States alone, 5 million treatments are performed each year, of which well over half are performed to reduce facial wrinkles and excessive sweating.
