Anti-Wrinkle Injections Glasgow
With over 15 years’ experience administering anti-wrinkle injections in Glasgow, Dr Sheila O’Neill is a trusted professional you can rely on to undertake this procedure with the maximum of care. Contrary to the general public belief, it is only very small amounts of toxin that are used to obtain the desired cosmetic results. In actual fact, much larger amounts of botulinum are used to treat medical conditions such as migraines or facial asymmetry. As a result, the side effects are very rare.
An anti-wrinkle injection is a protein that helps to stop muscle spasm. It works by blocking the signal from the nerves to the muscles, softening the facial lines. Procedures available include:
- Forehead – ‘worry lines’ formed when we raise our eyebrows
- Glabellar – ‘frown lines’ appearing in the area between our eyebrows
- Crow’s feet – the areas around the outside of the eyes
- Bunny lines – wrinkles at the bridge of the nose
The anti-wrinkle injection appointment lasts for approximately 30-45 minutes. Downtime is very short, with the main symptoms experienced being some redness and discomfort, as well as slight swelling at the injection site. It takes around 2-3 days for the effects to be noticed, with the full effect of the treatment achieved within 2 weeks.
How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?
Results usually last 3-4 months, but this can be longer after receiving repeated treatments. Individual results vary.

Bunny Lines
Bunny lines are the creases that appear when the nose wrinkles up – for example, when we sniff or smell something. The careful placement of anti-wrinkle injections at either side of the nose can reduce the appearance of these bunny lines. This is best carried out by an experienced aesthetics practitioner since your smile can be affected if they are not carried out properly.
Lipstick lines / Barcode lines / Downturned angles of mouth
Lipstick lines are fine lines around the mouth that become more apparent with age.
Although often treated with dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections can also treat this area and a combination of the two treatments is usually followed.
The same treatment combination can be used to correct downturned angles of the mouth, correcting a sad mouth appearance.
Hyperhidrosis / Excessive underarm sweating
Anti-wrinkle injections are an effective way to treat excessive sweating under the arms.
It works by blocking the chemical at the end of the nerves so that it cannot work on the glands or muscles.
In the case of the sweat glands, it turns them off to reduce sweating.
It requires multiple small injections of the toxin a few centimetres apart in each armpit.
Results take 2 weeks to occur and can last often for 6-9 months.
