All About Appearance Medicine with Dr. Coline Helm

What exactly is this treatment?

Anti-wrinkle injections use purified botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles responsible for expression lines. By reducing repetitive muscle contraction, the skin surface smooths, softening existing wrinkles and preventing deeper folds. The procedure is safe, precise, and medically regulated, with visible improvements appearing within a few days.

How do anti-wrinkle injections work?

They relax targeted facial muscles, preventing repetitive contractions that cause wrinkles. This allows the overlying skin to smooth naturally.

When will I see results?

Results typically appear within 3–7 days and reach full effect in 2 weeks.

How long do results last?

Most clients maintain smoother, softer skin for 3–4 months before a follow-up is recommended.

Is the treatment painful?

Discomfort is minimal and brief—most describe it as a tiny pinprick sensation.

Are there side effects?

Mild swelling or bruising can occur but subsides quickly. Rarely, temporary eyelid droop or headache may appear.

Who can perform these injections?

At Saving Face, treatments are performed exclusively by Dr Colin Helm, a qualified and experienced cosmetic doctor.
