When most people hear “anti-wrinkle injections,” they instantly think of forehead lines and crow’s feet. But what if we told you that these treatments can do far more than just soften wrinkles? At Mesglo Aesthetic Clinic Marylebone London, we use anti-wrinkle injections not just to address ageing skin — but to subtly reshape, refine, and rebalance the face in ways that are natural, preventative, and highly personalised.
Whether you’re in your late twenties or fifties, it’s worth knowing how this versatile treatment can work far beyond the surface — and why it’s one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic procedures in London.
What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections use botulinum toxin (Botox®, Bocouture®, Azzalure®) to temporarily relax specific facial muscles. By doing so, they help reduce the appearance of expression lines, but they also offer broader benefits in terms of facial balance, prevention, and subtle sculpting.
These injections work by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscle, preventing over-contraction, which is a key cause of wrinkles, asymmetry, and even discomfort in some cases.
Beyond Wrinkles: What Anti-Wrinkle Injections Can Really Do
1. Slim the Jawline (Masseter Reduction)
If you have a square jawline, suffer from jaw clenching or grinding (bruxism), or want to create a softer lower face, anti-wrinkle injections can be used to relax the masseter muscles. This not only relieves tension but results in a slimmer, more contoured jawline over time.
2. Lift the Brows (Chemical Brow Lift)
A few targeted injections into the muscles that pull the brows downward can create a gentle, lifted effect — opening up the eyes and providing a fresher, more awake look without surgery.
3. Refine the Nose (Bunny Lines + Tip Lift)
Injections on the sides of the nose can reduce bunny lines, while careful placement can also lift a drooping nasal tip subtly — a perfect option for those not ready for rhinoplasty.
4. Treat Gummy Smiles
By relaxing the muscle that elevates the upper lip, anti-wrinkle injections can minimise gum exposure when smiling, creating a more balanced and confident appearance.
5. Soften Neck Bands (Nefertiti Lift)
Vertical neck bands and sagging along the jawline can be softened with anti-wrinkle injections to the platysmal bands, creating a more defined lower face and neck.
6. Prevent Future Lines (Prejuvenation)
More clients in their 20s and early 30s are now using anti-wrinkle injections preventatively. By calming overactive facial expressions before lines set in, this approach helps preserve smooth, youthful skin.
7. Smooth a Pebble Chin
A dimpled or textured chin (often caused by an overactive mentalis muscle) can be smoothed with a few quick injections — enhancing chin shape and facial harmony.
8. Control Excess Sweating (Hyperhidrosis Treatment)
Botulinum toxin isn’t just for the face. Injected into the underarms, hands, feet, or scalp, it can significantly reduce excessive sweating, improving comfort and confidence.
Why It’s Not Just About Ageing
The idea that anti-wrinkle injections are just for “older people” is outdated. Today, they’re used by:
🔹 Men and women in their 20s–40s to prevent and delay signs of ageing.
🔹 Professionals and creatives looking for a subtle refresh without downtime.
🔹 Patients with facial asymmetries or hyperactive muscles affecting confidence.
🔹 Anyone seeking natural enhancements that preserve expression and individuality.
Anti-wrinkle injections are also highly customisable — at Mesglo, we use different dosages and placements depending on your facial anatomy, muscle strength, and desired outcome.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results typically last 3 to 4 months, with repeat treatments helping to train the muscles and prolong the effect over time.
🗓 Onset: 3–7 days to begin seeing changes
🗓 Peak Results: 10–14 days
🗓 Maintenance: Every 3–4 months for best results
Over time, many clients find they can extend the interval between treatments while still maintaining a refreshed appearance.
Is It Safe?
Yes. Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the safest cosmetic procedures available, especially when performed by experienced practitioners.
At Mesglo London, all injectable treatments are carried out by aesthetic professionals with medical training, ensuring safety, precision, and a focus on natural-looking results.
