Anti-line and wrinkle treatment
-
Anti-line and wrinkle treatment works by gently relaxing specific facial muscles that cause lines to form when we smile, frown, or squint. Over time, repeated facial expressions create creases in the skin — especially on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows. The treatment uses a purified protein that temporarily reduces muscle movement in these targeted areas, allowing the skin above to soften and smooth out.
Once the muscles relax, existing lines gradually appear less noticeable, and new lines are prevented from forming as deeply. The result is a fresher, more rested appearance without changing your natural facial expressions. Most people begin to see improvements within a few days, with full effects developing around two weeks. The treatment is quick, precise, and customised to ensure the results look natural and suit your facial features.

Anti-wrinkle treatment works by gently relaxing the small facial muscles that create expression lines. Every time we frown, raise our eyebrows, or smile, the underlying muscles contract and pull on the skin. Over the years, these repeated movements cause the skin to crease, leading to lines on areas such as the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.
When a small amount of the purified protein is placed into these specific muscles, it temporarily reduces their movement. This allows the overlying skin to rest and recover, causing lines to soften and appear smoother. It also stops new wrinkles from deepening, as the muscles are no longer repeatedly folding the skin.
The treatment is precise and targeted — only the muscles responsible for unwanted lines are relaxed, while the rest of your facial expressions remain completely natural. This subtle approach helps you look refreshed, not “frozen,” providing a smoother, more youthful appearance.
-
Yes — when carried out by a trained and qualified clinician, anti-wrinkle treatment is considered very safe. It has been used in both medical and cosmetic settings for many years and has an excellent safety profile. The treatment uses a purified protein that has been extensively studied and is approved for reducing facial lines.
At a dental practice, the anatomy of the face is something clinicians understand in depth, which adds an extra level of precision and safety. Most people experience no complications, and side effects, if they occur, are usually mild and temporary — such as slight redness, swelling, or tiny bruises at the injection sites.
You will always have a consultation beforehand to ensure the treatment is suitable for you, discuss your medical history, and tailor the dose to your individual needs. When performed correctly, the treatment is both safe and reliable, giving natural-looking, refreshed results.
-
Anti-wrinkle treatment is administered using a series of very small, precise injections placed just beneath the skin into specific facial muscles. The needles used are extremely fine, so most people find the procedure quick and easily tolerated. Before starting, your clinician will assess your facial movements to identify exactly where the muscles causing your lines are located.
The treatment itself usually takes just a few minutes. Each tiny injection delivers a carefully measured dose of the purified protein to relax the targeted muscles while keeping your natural facial expressions intact. There is no need for downtime, and you can return to your normal activities straight away, making it a convenient treatment for even the busiest schedules.
-
It usually takes three to seven days to take full effect and lasts three to six months. After this time muscle action will gradually return and the lines and wrinkles will re-appear. You can then choose to be re-treated. Lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with re-treatments because the muscles are being trained to relax.

Profhilo
-
Profhilo is an advanced injectable treatment that works by delivering high-concentration, ultra-pure hyaluronic acid just beneath the skin to deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, it doesn’t add volume or change facial structure—instead, it spreads evenly to improve skin quality, firmness, and radiance from within. For dental patients, Profhilo can complement aesthetic treatments by enhancing the skin around the smile, reducing fine lines, and restoring a fresher, more youthful appearance. The result is smoother, healthier-looking skin with a naturally rejuvenated finish.
-
Yes, Profhilo is considered a very safe treatment when administered by a trained and qualified medical professional. It’s made from highly purified hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, which helps minimise the risk of adverse reactions. Because Profhilo is bio-remodeling rather than a traditional filler, it integrates smoothly into the skin without altering facial structure. Common side effects are mild and temporary, such as slight redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection points, usually resolving within 24–48 hours. As with any injectable treatment, a full consultation is essential to ensure it’s suitable for you and that it’s performed in a safe, clinical environment.
-
Profhilo is administered through a series of small, precise injections just under the skin. For the face, practitioners commonly use the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique, which involves injecting tiny amounts of the product into five key points on each side of the face. These points are chosen to maximise spread and minimise discomfort or downtime.
The procedure is quick—usually around 10–15 minutes—and most patients describe it as only mildly uncomfortable. After injection, the hyaluronic acid begins to disperse naturally, stimulating collagen and elastin over the following weeks. A typical treatment plan involves two sessions spaced four weeks apart for optimal results.
-
Profhilo results typically last around 6–12 months, depending on your skin type, age, and lifestyle. Most people notice improved hydration and firmness after the second session, with results gradually building as collagen and elastin increase.
For maintenance, it’s generally recommended to have one treatment session every 6 months. Some patients with more mature skin or those wanting more enhanced results may choose a top-up every 3–4 months. Your practitioner can advise the ideal schedule based on your individual skin needs and goals.

Masseter Botox
-
Masseter Botox is a treatment that involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles—the large jaw muscles responsible for chewing. By relaxing these muscles, the treatment can help slim the jawline, reduce clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism), and ease symptoms of TMJ tension or jaw pain. It doesn’t affect your ability to chew normally, but it reduces excessive muscle activity, leading to a more refined facial shape and improved comfort. It’s a quick procedure with minimal downtime, often chosen for both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits.
-
Masseter Botox is generally well-tolerated and most patients describe the treatment as only mildly uncomfortable. The injections themselves take just a few seconds per side, and many dental professionals use techniques such as ice or numbing cream to make the experience even more comfortable. Because the masseter muscle is thick and the area is easy to access, the procedure is usually quicker and less sensitive than other facial injection points. Any slight discomfort you may feel is brief, and most people return to their normal activities straight away.
-
Masseter Botox typically begins to work within 3–7 days, with noticeable relief from jaw tension or clenching appearing as the muscle starts to relax. The full cosmetic and functional results develop gradually, usually reaching their peak at around 4–6 weeks. As the muscle activity decreases, you may notice a softer, slimmer jawline and reduced symptoms of teeth grinding or jaw clenching.
-
People choose masseter Botox for several reasons, both medical and cosmetic. If you suffer from teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or tension in the jaw, the masseter muscles can become overactive and enlarged, leading to discomfort, headaches, or even wear on your teeth. Masseter Botox helps relax these muscles, easing pain and reducing pressure on the jaw.
Cosmetically, some people naturally have a square or bulky jawline caused by strong masseter muscles. Relaxing these muscles can gently slim and soften the lower face, creating a more balanced appearance. Whether for comfort, aesthetics, or a combination of both, masseter Botox offers a simple, effective solution.
-
Masseter Botox results are temporary, so top-up treatments are usually needed every 4–6 months to maintain the effects. The exact timing can vary depending on your muscle strength, lifestyle, and how your body responds to the treatment. Some patients may need touch-ups a little sooner, while others can go longer between sessions. Your dentist will recommend a personalised schedule to ensure your jaw stays comfortable and your facial shape remains balanced.
-
After masseter Botox treatment, there are a few simple precautions to help ensure the best results:
Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended muscles.
Refrain from strenuous exercise or heavy physical activity for the first day.
Don’t lie down or bend over excessively for a few hours after the injections.
Avoid alcohol and very hot drinks or saunas for 24 hours, as these can increase swelling or bruising.
Skip facial massages or other cosmetic treatments near the jaw for a day or two.
Following these guidelines helps the Botox work effectively and reduces the risk of side effects like temporary swelling or bruising.
