Treating fine lines and wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are a normal part of ageing. If they bother you, non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatments may soften them. Some of these are prescription-only medicines. A trained clinician must assess you in person before any of them is offered.

Everything starts with a 30-minute consultation at our Lewisham practice. We look at your lines and ask about your health. Then we tell you honestly what is realistic.

Our approach

  • Subtle changes only. We aim for you to look refreshed, not frozen.
  • We won’t go further than we think is advisable, even if you ask us to.
  • Prescription-only treatment is offered only after a clinician has assessed you face to face.
  • There’s no surgery. Treatment is a few small injections.
  • You get an honest view, including whether treatment is right for you at all.

Deeper lines caused by lost volume may suit dermal fillers instead. See facial aesthetics for all the options.

Options for lines and wrinkles

  • Anti-wrinkle treatment

    For lines that show when you frown, smile or raise your eyebrows. It is prescription-only, so a clinician decides whether it’s appropriate.

  • Dermal fillers

    A hyaluronic acid gel that adds volume to soften deeper lines and folds. See facial aesthetics.

  • Profhilo®

    An injectable hyaluronic acid designed to hydrate the skin, including on the neck and hands.

What to expect

  1. Consultation

    A 30-minute appointment with a clinician. We look at your lines, check your medical history and talk about what you’d like to change.

  2. Deciding together

    If treatment is appropriate, we explain the options, the cost and the risks. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you.

  3. Treatment

    A few small injections with a fine needle. It usually takes about 20 minutes.

  4. Afterwards

    We explain how to look after your skin and what to expect. Get in touch if anything concerns you.

Questions we’re often asked

Do I need a consultation first?
Yes. Some anti-wrinkle treatments are prescription-only medicines. A trained clinician must assess you in person and decide whether treatment is appropriate. Your consultation lasts 30 minutes and costs £49.
Will I end up with a frozen face?
That is a common worry. We only aim for subtle improvements, so you still look like yourself. We won’t go further than we think is advisable, even if you ask us to.
How much does anti-wrinkle treatment cost?
The consultation costs £49. The cost of any treatment depends on the areas treated. We give you the full price after your consultation, before anything is done, so you can decide in your own time.
How long does treatment take?
The treatment itself usually takes about 20 minutes. At your consultation, your clinician will explain how long the effects typically last and whether you might need a repeat appointment.
Does it hurt?
Treatment uses small injections with a fine needle. Most people feel a brief sharp scratch. You may have slight redness or swelling afterwards, which usually settles quickly.
Can dermal fillers treat wrinkles?
Sometimes. Dermal fillers add volume, so they can soften deeper lines and folds. Lines that show when you move your face may need a different approach. We’ll explain which option suits each area.
Who shouldn’t have anti-wrinkle treatment?
We check your medical history and medicines first. Treatment may not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions. Your clinician will tell you if it isn’t right for you.
