The forehead is one of the first places on our face to age. The contraction of forehead muscles cause wrinkling of the skin, volume loss causes concavities, and the effects of gravity of the forehead lead to descent of the brows and eyelids.
The underlying mechanism causing wrinkling is contraction of the frontalis muscle. This muscle is responsible for lifting the brows, is a muscle of facial expression, and on contraction causes parallel horizontal lines on the forehead. The more active the frontalis muscle, the more significant the presence of horizontal lines in the forehead.
Anti-wrinkle injections, made from Botilinum Toxin, are an extremely effective way to treat and smooth out forehead lines. The treatment is a delicate compromise between moderating the activity or contraction of the frontalis muscle using anti-wrinkle injections and preserving the elevating power of the frontalis muscle.
Anti-wrinkle injections are placed into the forehead muscle reduce the appearance of lines. The amount of injections needed depends on how much movement you have in the forehead, the depth of the lines and the width of the forehead.
Our Anti-Wrinkle cosmetic injections are administered by Nurse Jo, a highly qualified, medically trained Registered Nurse with additional qualifications in cosmetic medical training, for the most effective and successful results.

I’m in my late 40s and without fail always come out of my treatment so happy with the natural youthful look Jo gives me. Honestly you will not be disappointed- highly recommended - Nat SLaura Laa22 July 2022As a total novice I was terrified of looking.obviously done up. I was convinced subtlety couldn't really be achieved. I was so nervous about the results of my lip filler looking obvious against my soft features, but Jo worked genuine wonders. The result was believable, soft and subtle, a far cry from the protruding, stretched out lips I was desperate to avoid. I didn't think filler would be for me so I am particularly surprised by how confident I now feel, totally unafraid to see the people I know and love. Thank you, Jo!
