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.

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.
