Anti-wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections use Botulinum Toxin Type A to temporarily relax selected facial muscles that cause expression lines. They are commonly used to soften forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet while maintaining natural facial movement.
At Hunar Clinic, treatments are performed with a personalised and conservative approach by Dr Prerna Mittal to achieve refreshed, natural-looking results rather than a “frozen” appearance.

Botulinum Toxin Type A works by temporarily blocking the signals between nerves and muscles. This reduces excessive muscle contraction that contributes to dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions such as frowning, smiling, or squinting.
Over time, the skin appears smoother and more rested because the overlying skin is no longer constantly folding.

Common treatment areas include:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines between the brows
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Bunny lines on the nose
• Chin dimpling
• Jawline slimming and teeth grinding (masseter treatment)
• Neck bands
• Lip flip
• Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

Treatment plans are always tailored to facial anatomy, muscle strength, and desired outcome.

Yes. At Hunar Clinic, the aim is to soften lines while preserving natural facial expression and movement.
Dr Prerna Mittal believes that good aesthetic treatment should make you look refreshed, rested, and healthier not overdone or expressionless.

There is no “correct” age to start treatment. Some people choose treatment preventatively in their late 20s or early 30s when lines begin to remain visible at rest, while others start later to soften more established wrinkles.

Treatment decisions are based on muscle activity, skin quality, genetics, and personal goals rather than age alone.

You may start noticing changes within 3–5 days, with full results typically visible after 10–14 days. At two weeks Dr Mittal like to see you for the follow up. Touch ups are usually not required but sometimes if needed this is the time to do the touch up.

Results usually last around 3–4 months, although this can vary depending on muscle strength, metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated.

With regular treatments, some patients notice results lasting longer over time as the muscles become trained to contract less strongly.

Most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable. Very fine needles are used, and the injections feel like small pinches lasting only a few seconds.

The procedure is quick and generally takes around 10–20 minutes depending on the areas treated.

Downtime is minimal. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
You may experience:

• Mild redness
• Small bumps at injection sites
• Occasional minor bruising

These usually settle within a few hours to a few days.

Yes. By reducing repetitive muscle movement, anti-wrinkle injections can help prevent dynamic lines from becoming permanently etched into the skin.

This preventative approach is why many patients choose subtle treatments before deeper wrinkles develop.

Botulinum Toxin Type A has been extensively studied and used medically and aesthetically for many years.

At Hunar Clinic, only licensed, evidence-based products are used, and all treatments are carried out following a thorough medical consultation and facial assessment.

Treatment may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have certain neurological conditions
• Have an active infection near the treatment area
• Have specific allergies to the product ingredients

A full medical history is always taken before treatment.

Yes. Combination treatments often provide the best overall skin rejuvenation results.

Depending on your concerns, Dr Prerna Mittal may combine anti-wrinkle treatment with:

• Medical-grade skincare
• Skin boosters
• Collagen-stimulating treatments
• Microneedling
• Dermal fillers
• Polynucleotides

This holistic approach helps address skin quality, texture, hydration, and collagen support alongside muscle movement.

No. Your wrinkles will not worsen because of treatment.

Once the effect wears off, the muscles simply regain their normal movement and the skin gradually returns to its natural ageing process.

Many patients actually find their lines appear softer than before because the skin has had time to rest from repetitive folding.

A consultation is the best way to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Facial anatomy, muscle movement, skin quality, and aesthetic goals differ significantly between individuals.

At Hunar Clinic, treatment recommendations are personalised rather than following a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
