Tackle signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles with our range of positive-ageing wrinkle-smoothing treatments and regain a more youthful, smoother appearance.*
*DISCLAIMER - Results and patient experience may vary. These are dependent on a number of factors such as age, medical history and lifestyle.
As we age, our skin becomes thinner and wrinkles form in the areas where we put most pressure on the skin, which are usually our expression lines such as frowning and laughing.
Popular since the 1980s, injectable treatments revolutionised the cosmetic industry and with their remarkable results and little or no downtime, they still remain the most popular aesthetic treatment worldwide.
How do wrinkle-smoothing treatments work?
EFFECTIVELY SMOOTH WRINKLES
Wrinkle-smoothing treatments tackle the signs of ageing in several ways. They can work by:
- Relaxing facial muscles to minimise the movements that cause wrinkles
- Replacing lost volume (with dermal fillers)
- Stimulating collagen and elastin and tightening the skin (with Morpheus8 radio-frequency treatments)
This wrinkle-smoothing treatment tackles fine lines and wrinkles using a purified protein called Botulinum Toxin, commonly known as Botox®, although there are number of Botulinum Toxin prescription products available, at Aspire Clinic, we offer Allergan’s Botox, which is the original and we believe the best Botulinum Toxin product.
Botulinum Toxin relaxes contracted muscles, resulting in smoother, wrinkle -free skin. The purified protein works by blocking the transition of chemical messages from the nerve to the muscle, so the muscle stays in a relaxed state for approximately 3-4 months.
We aim to give you a very natural look by retaining normal facial expression while smoothing lines.

The process
SMOOTH WRINKLES IN 20 MINUTES
- The nurse will take a full medical history to ensure patient safety.
- A full explanation of the treatment is given and informed consent taken prior to treatment.
- The treatment is carried out with a very fine needle, generally this is not painful and can be tolerated with no anaesthetic. However if you are nervous about needles we can apply a local anaesthetic cream before your treatment.
- Make-up will need to be removed before your treatment, we recommend not reapplying for 12 hours after your treatment.
- You may notice some slight redness immediately after your treatment, but this tends to be minimal and resolves quickly.
- Your practitioner will advise you about your post-treatment care and will give you an advice leaflet to take home with you. Please contact us if you have any further questions after your treatment.
- The treatment takes about twenty minutes and results can be seen after a few days, with the full effect achieved within two weeks.
Benefits of wrinkle-smoothing treatments
SMOOTH FACIAL LINES
- Forehead

- Gummy smile

- Necklines and bands also known as the Nefertiti Lift
The use of purified protein is also an excellent solution for treating teeth grinding, headaches, as well as excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis.
Although not permanent, because the treatment naturally breaks down overtime, the treatment can re-educate the muscle, resulting in longer intervals between treatments.
Untreated areas of the face are not affected; facial muscles can still work effectively to smile and frown, etc but the skin on the treated areas will be smoother and movement will be greatly reduced.
This is a non-invasive treatment with virtually no downtime.
Safety of the treatment
The treatment is carried out by a highly qualified and experienced Aspire nurse and has a high safety record. You may like to know that 90% purified protein is used to treat a variety of medical conditions such as migraines, facial spasms, cerebral palsy and Parkinsons, purified protein, when injected into muscle, temporarily relaxes the muscle action. By comparison, we use tiny amounts of purified protein to smooth wrinkles.
Wrinkle-smoothing treatments have been used in cosmetic treatments for almost 40 years, so the safety and efficacy of the treatment is scientifically proven.
It is important that you tell your practitioner about any medicines or dietary supplements you are taking as some medicines can adversely affect the results of the toxin, or increase your risk of bruising. We may advise to stop taking certain medicines or supplements a few days before your treatment.
We also advise that you do not drink alcohol the night before your treatment for the same reason as above.
The results
SMOOTH, YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE
This treatment option gives a natural-looking, smooth and more youthful appearance, with results lasting between 3 and 4 months.
Whilst treatment frequency is adjusted according to skin quality and response to treatment, maintenance treatments are recommended at intervals no less than three months.
If treatments are not maintained, muscles and skin return to pre-treatment state.
