You catch yourself in a photo and the frown is there, even when you're not frowning.
People ask if you're tired. Or cross. You're neither. Make-up sits in the lines on your forehead by lunchtime, and the face in the mirror looks more worn out than you feel.
You want your own face, looking rested.
Nod at a few of these and the consultation is for you.
The "11s" between your eyebrows, there even when you're relaxed.
Lines across your forehead every time you raise your eyebrows.
Lines at the corners of your eyes that stay after the smile has gone.
Lines that make you look older than you feel.
Foundation settles into the lines within hours.
You want to look like you on a good day, not like you've had something done.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a prescription-only medicine, so it starts with a conversation, face to face.
The Aesthetics Consultation, in clinic. Your face at rest and moving, your health, your medicines, and what you'd like to change.
If the treatment is right for you, we decide together which areas and how much. If it isn't, I tell you why.
A few fine injections, in clinic. You go back to your day afterwards.
A review at 2 weeks, when most of the effect shows. Small adjustments are made then if needed.
What the medicine is, what it does in the muscle, and what to expect, before you decide.
A purified protein, botulinum toxin type A, used in very small amounts. It is a prescription-only medicine, prescribed only if it is suitable for you after a face-to-face consultation: UK prescribing standards require a prescriber to assess you in person first.
It goes into the specific muscles that crease the skin above them. It blocks the nerve signal that tells that muscle to contract, so the muscle relaxes and the line softens. Over the following months your body restores the signal, which is why it wears off.
It starts working within 2 to 3 days and most of the effect shows by 2 weeks. It typically lasts 3 to 4 months, and that varies from person to person and from area to area.
A quick sting with each injection; the needles are very fine. Small bumps or redness at the injection points usually settle within 1 to 3 days, and most people go straight back to work.
For 4 hours, stay upright and don't rub or massage the area. For 24 to 48 hours, no hard exercise, alcohol, saunas or facial massage. No facial treatments such as microneedling or peels until your 2-week review.
Bruising, redness and a headache are the common ones. A temporary droop of the eyelid or brow is uncommon and wears off as the treatment does. Difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing after treatment: call 999.
The upper face is where most people start. The rest is planned with you at the consultation.
Between the eyebrows, the lines that make you look cross or worried.
Softened with a light hand, so your brows still move.
The lines at the outer corners of your eyes.
A small lift to the tail of the brow.
A lip flip, or fine lines around the lips.
Bunny lines on the nose, the jaw, a gummy smile or neck bands: ask at your consultation.
Lines that are deep even at rest may soften without disappearing. Skin quality is a different job: skin boosters work on hydration and texture, and dermal fillers work on volume and shape. See every treatment on the aesthetics page.
Anti-wrinkle injections are for adults, 18 and over. In England it is illegal to give them to anyone under 18.
They aren't suitable if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular condition such as myasthenia gravis, or have an infection or inflammation where the injections would go. Some medicines, including certain antibiotics and muscle relaxants, change how it works, so we go through yours at the consultation.

I spent over a decade in community pharmacy listening to people describe their skin, their sleep, their mood and their bodies, and watching each of those get sent somewhere different. Debora Tentis Clinic exists to join it up, so the person treating your face also understands your skin and your health. Registration and qualifications
