Are you curious about anti-wrinkle injections but not sure where to start? At TM Aesthetics, many first-time clients have similar questions: What are they? How do they work? Will I still look natural? This guide is designed to give you clear, honest answers before you decide if treatment is right for you.
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are treatments that use a prescription-only medicine (botulinum toxin type A) to temporarily relax specific facial muscles. This softens the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by repeated expressions like frowning, smiling, or squinting.
What brand do we use at TM Aesthetics?
We use Nuceiva®, a licensed brand of botulinum toxin type A. Many people refer to these treatments as “Botox”, but that is just one of several available brands. At TM Aesthetics, all treatments are prescribed and administered by Dr Tej Murthy to ensure safety and suitability.
What areas can be treated?
- Frown lines (between the brows)
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Other areas may be suitable depending on your goals, but this is always discussed during consultation.
How long do results last?
Most clients enjoy results that last 3–4 months. With regular treatments, results may last longer.
Will I still look natural?
Yes. At TM Aesthetics, our approach is to refresh your appearance without changing who you are. Treatments are tailored to keep your results subtle and natural.
What to expect at your appointment
- Consultation – A medical consultation with Dr Tej Murthy to assess your goals and medical history.
- Treatment – Quick injections into targeted areas, usually taking 15–20 minutes.
- Aftercare – You’ll receive clear aftercare advice, with little to no downtime.
Safety and suitability
- Anti-wrinkle injections are prescription-only medicines.
- They can only be prescribed after a consultation with a qualified medical professional.
- Side effects are usually mild and temporary. Serious side effects are rare but will be discussed with you beforehand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it painful?
Most people describe it as a quick scratch, and discomfort is minimal.
When will I see results?
Most clients see improvements within 3–7 days, with full results at around 2 weeks.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes — results gradually wear off and your muscles return to normal function.
Is Botox the same as anti-wrinkle injections?
Botox® is a well-known brand name for botulinum toxin. At TM Aesthetics, we use Nuceiva®, another licensed brand. All treatments are prescribed individually to ensure safety.
Why do people call anti-wrinkle injections Botox?
Because Botox is the most recognised brand name. However, there are several licensed brands available (including Nuceiva®). We use the term anti-wrinkle injections as a general description.
