ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENT
in Harrogate & York

PRECISION AESTHETIC INJECTABLES FOR
NATURAL REJUVENATION

Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most effective and widely used non-surgical treatments for smoothing dynamic lines, softening expression wrinkles, and restoring a more rested facial appearance. At Muse Medical Clinic, we specialise in advanced injection treatments that prioritise safety, precision, and natural-looking results-never frozen or overdone.

Led by Dr Amy Watson, a national trainer in medical aesthetics, we deliver wrinkle relaxing treatments using Botulinum Toxin Type A, a prescription-only injectable designed to gently relax overactive facial muscles and soften the visible signs of ageing. This includes forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and other areas affected by repeated muscle contraction.

Whether you’re concerned about deep wrinkles, fine lines, or early signs of ageing, every treatment plan is fully bespoke. We may also recommend dermal fillers or facial line filler to restore volume and improve the overall balance and contour of your face.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENT

  • Wrinkle relaxing treatments use Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified protein that works by blocking the signals between nerves and the muscles that cause expression lines. These muscles contract with every smile, frown, or squint. Over time, this movement leads to the formation of fine lines and deep wrinkles.

    By gently ‘hibernating’ selected muscle groups, anti-wrinkle injections allow the skin to smooth out and recover. The result is a softer, more youthful appearance without compromising your natural expression.

    Wrinkle relaxing injections are most effective for dynamic lines-such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines-but can also be used alongside dermal fillers that work to fill wrinkles caused by volume loss. A combination of anti-wrinkle injectables and facial fillers is often the most effective approach for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

  • Once injected into the targeted muscle, Botulinum Toxin binds to receptors at the neuromuscular junction, preventing the release of the chemical messenger responsible for muscle contraction. This reduces movement in specific areas of the face, giving the skin time to recover and smoothing the appearance of lines.

    At Muse Medical Clinic, each injection site is carefully mapped based on your unique facial anatomy. This ensures that the product is placed with complete precision, softening wrinkles where needed while maintaining natural facial movement.

    Over time, regular treatment can help prevent new expression lines from forming-making anti-wrinkle injections both corrective and preventative.

  • Our patients often describe this treatment as confidence-enhancing and surprisingly subtle. It’s one of the fastest ways to refresh your appearance while keeping your natural look intact.

    Benefits include:

    • Noticeable softening of expression lines across the forehead, eyes, and brows

    • Reduced appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines

    • Prevention of new wrinkle formation through consistent treatment

    • A more rested, lifted look without surgery or downtime

    • Option to combine with dermal fillers that restore volume and improve facial contour

    • Minimal discomfort, no anaesthetic, and no need for recovery time

    Unlike facial surgery, wrinkle relaxing injections are reversible and wear off gradually over time. This allows for full flexibility and natural facial movement to return.

  • Anti wrinkle injections can be used to address a wide range of concerns, including:

    • Frown lines (glabellar lines) between the brows

    • Horizontal forehead lines

    • Crow’s feet around the eyes

    • Bunny lines on the nose

    • Dimpled or ‘pebble’ chin

    • Downturned corners of the mouth

    • Gummy smile

    • Platysmal bands on the neck

    In addition to aesthetic concerns, wrinkle relaxing injections can be used to treat:

    • TMJ pain and teeth grinding (by relaxing the masseter muscle)

    • Excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis)

    If you’re also concerned about volume loss or skin texture, your practitioner may recommend combining treatment with fine line filler, face wrinkle filler, or filler for deep wrinkles.

  • All wrinkle relaxing treatments at Muse Medical Clinic begin with a thorough, obligation-free consultation. During this time, your practitioner will:

    • Assess your areas of concern

    • Discuss whether anti-wrinkle injectables, dermal fillers, or a combined approach is best suited

    • Review your medical history to ensure the treatment is safe

    • Map precise injection sites based on your anatomy

    The treatment itself is quick and comfortable. Using an ultra-fine needle, your practitioner will administer a series of small injections into the selected muscles. No anaesthetic is required, and most patients report only a mild stinging sensation.

    You’ll be offered a follow-up appointment 2–3 weeks after treatment to assess results and provide top-up injections if necessary.

  • You may begin to see results within 3–5 days, with full results visible at around two weeks. Treated areas will appear smoother and more refreshed, and in some cases, brows may be subtly lifted.

    Results typically last between 12–16 weeks. With regular maintenance, the muscles remain more relaxed for longer, meaning wrinkle formation can be slowed or even prevented.

    For static lines or hollow areas, your practitioner may suggest using dermal fillers that work in tandem with anti-wrinkle injections to fill wrinkles and restore volume.

  • There is minimal downtime. You can return to your usual activities straight after your appointment, but you’ll be advised to:

    • Avoid touching or massaging the area for a few hours

    • Skip make-up for the rest of the day

    • Avoid alcohol, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 24 hours

    • Postpone facials for at least 7 days

    Side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Headaches can occasionally occur. Rare side effects-such as eyelid drooping or uneven results-are extremely uncommon when the treatment is administered by a qualified medical professional.

  • Prices for line and wrinkle relaxing treatment varies according to the number of ‘areas’ being treated. After consultation and prior to treatment, you will be given a price for the procedure, so that you can make an informed decision on whether you wish to proceed.

  • Anti-wrinkle injectables are suitable for most people looking to improve the appearance of facial lines, particularly those caused by muscle movement. If you’re new to injectables or unsure whether this treatment is right for you, we’ll guide you through your options in a calm, medically informed setting.

    Your treatment plan may also include dermal fillers, facial line filler, or filler for deep wrinkles if you have areas of volume loss or deeper-set wrinkles.

    “Dr Amy is highly qualified and experienced in the aesthetic and beauty world. Im at that age where my neck and chest crepes and the Profilo treatment takes all of that away without surgery or neck lift. It’s not painful and the small lunps disappear the same day. I also have it on my face and it gives the skin a nice glow and fills out fine lines. So today I had a top up of Profilo and Botox around the eye area. Dr Amy I consider a friend now as I’ve been coming to her for some time as she’s very approachable and gives me lots of advice about ageing and makes me feel wonderful when leaving the salon. 10/10. Highly recommend.”

    “Excellent dermal filler experience. I recently had some dermal filler with Dr. Amy and I can honestly say it was my most positive experience with filler so far. She made me feel at ease and she was great at talking me through the process step by step. I would highly recommend Face etc to anybody considering lip or general facial injectable treatment; it is certainly worth every penny to feel in such safe hands! Thanks again Amy x”

    “Amy was wonderful. I recently visited for derma filler treatment. Although having had the treatment before, I am still a real coward at the sight of a needle. It was my first time with Dr Amy, who was charming and understood my fear. She explained administration of the treatment, which differed from previous occasions. She did a great job, that was very comfortable and I am delighted with the results. What impressed me most was when I discussed treatment of another area. She was very knowledgable about this treatment, honest about how it would affect my appearance and advised that she didn't recommend it in that particular area. I left feeling happy with the effect of the treatment and her honest advice. Thank you Amy”

    “Dr Amy was absolutely fantastic. Dr Amy was absolutely fantastic. Especially in this post-lockdown world, it can be very hard to know what to expect from a spa or clinic similar to this. All the staff were very sensible, and all the correct protective equipment was in use throughout the entire treatment. I had an excellent facial (cheek) fillers treatment, with very satisfactory results. Dr Amy was very clear in explaining the process and expected results, and incredibly gentle with the syringe. Would highly recommend.”

  • The treatment is generally well tolerated, with only a light sting from the injection. No numbing is required.

  • Wrinkle relaxing results last 3–4 months on average.

  • You’ll begin to notice softening in the treated areas within a few days, with full results visible by 14 days.
