Anti-wrinkle injections are a type of cosmetic treatment that aim to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, primarily on the face.

At Refine Clinic Dublin, our anti-wrinkle treatments deliver rapid, natural-looking smoothing of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles. Whether you want to reduce crow’s feet, forehead lines, or frown (glabellar) creases, our Dublin-based clinic offers expert treatment with minimal downtime and maximum care.

Effectiveness of Anti-Wrinkle Injections.

Anti-wrinkle injections are a highly effective treatment for reducing dynamic wrinkles and expression lines. You’ll typically enjoy results for 2 to 6 months, depending on your metabolism and the product we use.

Treatment sessions take only a few minutes, and most patients report little discomfort because we use very fine needles. Both men and women can achieve noticeable improvements, making this one of the most versatile non-surgical treatments for facial rejuvenation.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

At Refine Clinic, we use anti-wrinkle injections to address multiple facial and non-facial concerns, including:

  • Forehead wrinkles.

  • Frown (glabellar) lines.

  • Crow’s feet around the eyes.

  • Marionette lines and corners of the mouth.

  • Smoker’s lines (upper lip lines).

  • Sagging brows.

  • Gummy smile (excessive gum exposure when smiling).

  • Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

  • Backs of the hands (to smooth wrinkles and rejuvenate skin).

This wide range of applications makes anti-wrinkle injections a comprehensive solution for wrinkle reduction and facial contouring.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Not only do anti-wrinkle injections rejuvenate the face; they also prove effective in treating hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. By blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands, these injections can significantly reduce perspiration in areas such as the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and even the face.

This treatment offers long-lasting relief for those who experience sweating that goes beyond normal body temperature regulation and can make a huge difference in daily comfort and confidence.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Men

Anti-wrinkle treatments are not just for women. Increasingly, men across Dublin are continuously choosing injectables to maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance.

Many men are concerned about:

  • Frown lines caused by stress.

  • Wrinkles around the eyes.

  • Loss of definition along the jawline.

Because men’s facial anatomy and muscle mass differ from women’s, we carefully tailor treatments to masculine features. This ensures results that are natural, subtle, and in harmony with a man’s facial structure, maintaining strength and definition rather than softening features too much.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

During your initial consultation at Refine Clinic, Dr. Natalia will assess your unique facial anatomy, skin condition, and goals. You’ll receive personalised advice on the results you can realistically expect, along with a treatment plan designed for your individual needs.

Whether you are looking to soften lines, lift sagging brows, reduce sweating, or refresh your overall appearance, anti-wrinkle injections can deliver natural, confidence-boosting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Natalia Bratu will be taking care of you. 

A small number of people are not suitable for treatment. This can be down to pre-existing medical conditions, your lifestyle, and your current physical condition.

At your consultation, Dr. Natalia may deem you unsuitable for treatment.

We do not pressure our clients to go ahead with any treatment until they are ready so there is no problem if you decide to come back another day and take time to consider your treatment options.

That is no problem at all. Dr. Natalia will take her time with you. She will go through the treatment and do her absolute best to reassure you. If at any point you decide not to have treatment that is also no problem.

Before your treatment, a cool gel pack can be held to the skin to numb the area. Numbing cream is available also but is rarely used as the injections are so quick, like a little pinch. Some patients who bruise easily may find that they may have a slight small bruise e.g. near the sensitive eye area, post-treatment.

Arnica cream is a fantastic healer for bruises and speeds up the recovery time for any bruising.

Some people may have a fear of needles but still would like treatment. If you make us aware of this we can be mindful of this and look after you.

A contraindication is a specific situation in which a drug, procedure, or surgery should not be used because it may be harmful to the person.

You may not get anti-wrinkle injections if you

– Are pregnant

– Are breastfeeding

– Have muscular/neurology diseases/disorders

– Are taking antibiotics

– Are a heavy drinker of alcohol

– Under 18 years of age

As with any injectable, there may be side effects in some patients. Do not worry when you read the list of side effects, you may not experience any of these.

Side effects usually occur within the first few days of injection and are generally temporary, although some side effects may continue for several months, or longer in some rare cases.

The most common side effects are headache, drooping of the eyelid, skin redness, local muscle weakness and facial pain.

Other side effects may be associated with the injection itself including: bruising, redness, pain, burning, stinging and/or swelling.

Adverse reactions possibly related to the spread of the prescribed treatment distant from the injection sites have been reported very rarely with these injections. (e.g. muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing or pneumonia due to unwanted food or liquid in the airways).
