Most commonly referred to as "Botox", anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for reducing dynamic lines caused by repeated facial expressions. When performed by a correctly, the treatment is safe, precise and designed to maintain natural facial movement — not a “frozen” look.
Whether you’re looking to soften forehead lines, reduce frown tension or achieve a brighter, more open eye area, your treatment is tailored to your facial anatomy and desired results.
Anti-wrinkle injections use a naturally occurring protein known as botulinum toxin, that has been purified for safety and temporarily relaxes over active muscles. When the muscle is at rest, lines and wrinkles become less visible, and the skin appears smoother and more refreshed.
You will still be able to show a degree of expression - the aim is to look rested, not different.
There are a number of brand licensed in the UK and MatildaMed is confident in selecting and using each brand based on the anatomical requirements of the client, including Botox, Bocouture, Azzalure, Reflydess and Letybo.

Treatment areas will be discussed during your consultation to ensure suitability and natural results.
At Initial Consultation:
We start with a full medical history to cover any potential interactions of safety issues as a result of past medical history or medication. It is really important to list ALL medical history and medication, even if you don't think it's relevant. We will then discuss your concerns, assess your facial movement and go through any pros/cons.
Treatment:
The injections themselves take around 10 minutes and are generally very comfortable, with no numbing agents required.
Results:
Initial softening from day 3–5
Full results by 10–14 days
Results typically last 3–4 months (varies from person to person)
A review appointment is offered at 2 weeks to assess your results and make any adjustments if needed.
