Prevent and Soften Lines

Over time, natural facial expressions form wrinkles and fine lines. If left untreated, they deepen with age. Temporary injections that last about three months can both prevent and treat these lines. Treatment is quick, usually around ten minutes, with minimal downtime, so you can carry on with your day.

We always recommend prevention. A good time to start is when faint lines are visible even at rest, often around age 30. Deeper wrinkles can still be improved, though they may need a few sessions to reach the best result. It’s never too late to start treating wrinkles and fine lines.

Our Method

Doctor examine your skin before wrinkle reduction treatment

Step one

Comprehensive Consultation

In a comprehensive consultation, we’ll discuss your medical and cosmetic history in detail and invite you to share ideas, goals and any concerns.

We’ll examine your skin at rest and with expression to understand how lines form. With your consent, we take photographs from several angles, including profile, to guide planning and track results.

Step Two

Treatment Planning

Your unique facial anatomy informs a personalised plan for natural-looking results. There is no one-size-fits-all option when it comes to the face.

We explain how your anatomy guides technique and approach, and why specific areas may benefit most. The plan is bespoke and aligned with your features and goals.

Preparation & Final Checks

Before any injections, your skin is cleansed with a gentle, hypoallergenic cleanser. (Arriving without makeup helps keep things efficient.)

This step ensures a hygienic and safe procedure in a calm setting. We confirm the plan with you and answer any final questions.

Treatment & Results

The injecting stage typically lasts about ten minutes. Most people find it comfortable, though it can feel like a brief sharp scratch.

Small red bumps at injection sites usually settle within 15 minutes. Initial smoothing appears after about one week, with full results at two weeks.

As a Blackheath Clinic patient, you’ll also receive a tailored medical-grade skincare plan to support and maintain your results, guided by your complimentary Zemits VeraFace 12-factor AI skin analysis.
