Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular non-surgical treatments for softening lines, refining skin texture, and creating a refreshed appearance. Often referred to by their active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, these injections work by relaxing specific facial muscles. This targeted approach helps reduce dynamic wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming, all without the need for surgery or downtime.
These injections are designed to temporarily reduce muscle movement in areas prone to expression lines, such as the forehead, frown lines, and crow's feet.
By gently relaxing the underlying muscles, the skin becomes smoother and more refined, without freezing your natural expressions. The result is a more rested and rejuvenated appearance that still looks like you.
Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified form of botulinum toxin to block nerve signals to specific muscles. When these muscles are temporarily relaxed, they no longer produce the contractions that cause visible lines and wrinkles. Over time, this helps the skin to appear smoother and more youthful, while also preventing deeper lines from forming. The treatment is precise and targeted, offering consistent and refined results.
Many clients choose anti-wrinkle injections because they offer a simple yet effective way to support smoother skin and maintain a naturally refreshed appearance. The treatment process is quick, the results are reliable, and each appointment can be tailored to suit personal preferences and goals.
Anti-wrinkle injections effectively reduce the appearance of lines caused by facial movement, particularly across the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. These dynamic lines often become more visible with age, and this treatment helps to smooth them out without altering your natural expression.
Regular use of anti-wrinkle injections can help slow down the formation of deeper lines. By limiting repeated muscle contractions in key areas, the skin is protected from ongoing stress, supporting a smoother complexion over time.
When administered by a skilled practitioner, anti-wrinkle injections offer results that enhance rather than alter your appearance. Expressions remain soft and natural, and most people simply look more well-rested or refreshed, never overdone.
Treatments typically take around 15 to 30 minutes, making them ideal for clients with busy schedules. There's little to no downtime, and most people return to their normal routine immediately after their appointment.
Beyond softening lines, anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to lift the brow, relax a tense jawline, or address other areas of facial tension. Each treatment is tailored to your individual needs, resulting in outcomes that complement your natural features.
Results generally appear within a few days, with full effect by two weeks. With ongoing sessions every three to four months, the benefits become easier to maintain and can improve with time as the muscles adapt.
Anti-wrinkle injections work best when paired with a wider focus on skin health. Other Treatments such as skin boosters or microneedling can support hydration, texture, and collagen renewal, complementing the smoothing effects of injectables. GLO's bespoke approach allows for a treatment plan that supports your long-term skin goals, creating results that go beyond just line reduction.

How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?
Results typically last between three to four months. With consistent treatments, some clients may notice longer-lasting effects as their muscles become accustomed to remaining relaxed.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure. A fine needle is used for the injections, and the treatment is generally well tolerated. If needed, a topical numbing cream can be applied prior to the procedure.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally minimal and short-lived. Some clients may notice mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these symptoms usually resolve within a few hours to a couple of days.
How soon will I see results?
Some improvement can be seen within a few days, but full results are usually visible at the two-week mark. A follow-up appointment may be recommended to assess your outcome and make any necessary adjustments.
Can I combine anti-wrinkle injections with other treatments?
Yes. Anti-wrinkle injections are often combined with other aesthetic treatments, such as skin boosters or dermal fillers, to enhance results and support overall skin health. Your practitioner can guide you through options that suit your needs.
