Wrinkle Relaxing
Treatments

Over time, repeated facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or raising the eyebrows can create fine lines in areas of movement. Our wrinkle softening treatment works by gently relaxing targeted muscles to support smoother skin, without freezing your expression.

At Alira Aesthetics, we take a subtle, mapped approach to every treatment. Your natural facial movement is always considered, so results look refreshed, never overdone.

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines (between the brows)
• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
• Brow lift support
• Lip flip (softening a downward curl)
• Chin dimpling
• Jawline slimming or tension relief

Common areas treated

  • Wrinkles and lines naturally form as part of the aging process due to the continual contraction of facial muscles used for various expressions, such as frowning and squinting. Wrinkle reduction treatments involve injecting an active ingredient into targeted areas to relax these muscle contractions. This reduces excess movement, softening the appearance of lines and providing a rejuvenated look in line with your desired outcome.

  • Each appointment begins with a thorough, in-person consultation to discuss your concerns, goals, and facial movement. This ensures the treatment plan is tailored specifically to you.

    During the appointment, a prescription medication is carefully administered into targeted facial muscles using a fine needle. The process is precise, with comfort prioritised throughout.

    Treatments take approximately 15–20 minutes and work by relaxing overactive muscles, helping to soften the appearance of lines and create a more refreshed look. Results typically last around 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors.

  • Results may start to appear within 3 days of treatment, with full effects visible after 2 weeks. You are encouraged to return for a 2-week review to ensure that optimal results have been achieved.

  • Wrinkle reduction treatments typically last 3 to 4 months, although this varies by individual and is dose-dependent. Over time, effects will gradually diminish, and treatment intervals may vary from person to person.

  • Treatment costs depend on the number of areas treated and the level of support required. During your consultation, we’ll discuss a personalised plan and provide clear pricing tailored to your needs.

  • Wrinkle-support treatments generally require little to no downtime. Some clients may notice mild redness, pinpoint bleeding, or small areas of bruising at the injection sites. Any residual bruising usually settles within a few days.

    As with any prescription medication, individual responses can vary. In uncommon cases, temporary effects may include:

    Raised or over-arched brows (“spocking”)
    This can occur when certain muscles respond more strongly and is typically corrected with a small adjustment at the two-week review.

    Fullness or puffiness around the eye area (Shelfing)
    This may occasionally appear and often settles gradually over the treatment period.

    Temporary asymmetry or mild drooping around the mouth or lip area
    This is uncommon and can be assessed and managed during the routine two-week follow-up appointment.
