"Dr. Chrisna is amazing. To me, she is the best in Cork — her skills, knowledge, great sense of aesthetics but also very strong ethics are incredible. She even fixed issues I had post a treatment at another place. I don't know any better doctor in Cork. Highly recommended."
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular and well-established non-surgical treatments available. Small, precise amounts of purified protein are injected into targeted facial muscles to temporarily reduce their activity, smoothing existing lines and preventing new ones from forming.
At Eden Medical, every treatment is personalised to your face and goals. Whether you want a natural result with some movement or a more defined outcome, your doctor will tailor the approach accordingly.

What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a consultation where your doctor will assess your facial muscles, discuss your concerns and confirm the most appropriate areas to treat. Anti-wrinkle injections are suitable for most adults, with the exception of those who are pregnant, breastfeeding or who have certain medical conditions. At Eden Medical, you can also choose between a standard result, which maintains some natural movement, or a stronger result with little to no movement in the muscle.
On the day of treatment, small quantities of anti-wrinkle solution are injected into the targeted muscles using fine needles. A local anaesthetic is applied to the injection sites beforehand. The session takes around 15 minutes. Results begin to appear within a few days and are fully visible within two weeks. A follow-up review can be scheduled two weeks after treatment to assess the outcome. Results typically last 3 to 6 months.

Before and After Anti-Wrinkle Injection



SMOOTHER FOREHEAD AND BROW
Reduces the appearance of forehead lines and frown lines for a calmer, more rested look
REDUCED CROW'S FEET
Softens the lines that form at the outer corners of the eyes with natural expression
BROAD TREATMENT RANGE
Goes beyond wrinkles to address concerns including hyperhidrosis, bruxism and downturned mouth
Benefits of Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause specific muscles to contract. When those muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out, and lines become less visible. Over time, regular treatment can also help prevent lines from deepening further, making it a popular choice for both correction and prevention.
At Eden Medical, two options are available. The standard treatment maintains a natural degree of movement and expression, while the strong treatment offers a more pronounced result with minimal muscle activity. Your doctor will discuss which suits your goals during your consultation. Results typically last 3 to 6 months, with many patients returning for maintenance treatment at regular intervals.
Post-Treatment Care & Side Effects
- Aftercare
Following treatment, some simple precautions help protect the result and minimise any swelling or bruising. Your doctor will go through this before you leave.
- Do not ice the treated area as this may disturb the product placement
- Do not rub or massage the face for at least four hours after treatment
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen and anti-inflammatory medication for two days after and one week before treatment
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, walking is fine
- Avoid excessive heat, including saunas and steam rooms for 48 hours
- Side Effects
Anti-wrinkle injections are well tolerated by most patients. Side effects are mild and temporary.
Common temporary side effects include:
- Mild swelling and redness at the injection sites
- Light bruising or discolouration
- Tenderness or mild soreness
- Mild itching
These effects typically resolve within 2 to 7 days. All potential side effects will be discussed in full during your consultation.
Standard or Strong — Which is Right for You?
At Eden Medical, anti-wrinkle injections are available in two formulations. Your doctor will discuss both options and recommend the most appropriate approach based on your face, the areas being treated and the result you are looking for.
Standard
Maintains a natural degree of movement in the treated muscle. Lines are visibly reduced and the skin appears smoother, while you retain the ability to express naturally.
- Natural movement and expression preserved
- Refreshed and softened appearance
- Ideal for first-time patients
- Most popular choice
Strong
- Minimal to no muscle movement
- More defined, pronounced result
- Suited to returning patients
- Higher dose than standard
Neither option is better than the other. The right choice depends entirely on your goals, facial anatomy and personal preference. Your doctor will advise on which formulation is most appropriate during your consultation.
Anti-Wrinkle Injection Areas
Anti-wrinkle injections can be used across a wide range of areas on the face and body. Your doctor will confirm which areas are suitable for you during your consultation.
Horizontal lines that develop across the forehead from repeated movement and expression over time.
The vertical lines that form between the brows, often associated with concentration or squinting. Also known as eleven lines.
Fine lines that develop at the outer corners of the eyes from smiling and natural facial expression.
The lines that appear across the bridge of the nose when scrunching or squinting.
Fine vertical lines around the mouth caused by repeated pursing of the lips.
Relaxes the muscles pulling the brow downward, allowing the arch to lift naturally for a more open, refreshed eye area.
Targets the muscle pulling the corners of the mouth down for a more neutral, rested expression at rest.
Smooths the dimpled or pebbled texture on the chin caused by an overactive mentalis muscle.
Slims an overdeveloped jaw muscle and relieves teeth grinding and jaw tension for a softer, more oval facial shape.
Addresses horizontal neck lines and tight vertical platysma bands that develop along the front of the neck with age.
Relaxes the muscle that pulls the nose tip downward, creating a more elevated nose tip at rest and during expression.
Reduces excessive gum visibility when smiling by relaxing the muscles that lift the upper lip too high.
Anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to treat excessive sweating by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands. Commonly treated areas include the underarms, hands, feet and face. Results typically last 6 to 12 months.
Not sure which areas are right for you? Your doctor will assess your face and goals during your complimentary consultation and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Anti-Wrinkle Injection Results Timeline
- Immediately after treatment: The face may appear slightly red or tender at the injection sites. This settles quickly.
- Days 2 to 5: The anti-wrinkle solution begins to take effect. Targeted muscles start to relax and lines appear softer.
- Days 7 to 14: The full result is visible. Lines are noticeably smoother and the face looks more rested and refreshed.
- Months 2 to 3: Results remain consistent. The face looks naturally smooth with no visible sign of treatment.
- Months 3 to 6: The product is gradually broken down by the body and muscle activity begins to return. A follow-up treatment at this stage maintains the result.
Anti-wrinkle injections remain among the most consistent and well-tolerated treatments in aesthetics. Results are predictable, the recovery is minimal, and with regular maintenance, most patients find that the improvement becomes part of how their face simply looks at its best.

What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a popular cosmetic treatment that helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face.
How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. The injections contain a purified protein that targets specific muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles to form.
Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?
Yes. Anti-wrinkle injections are generally considered safe when performed by a trained and qualified professional. However, it’s important to disclose your medical history and any medications you’re taking to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.
Is the treatment painful?
Most people experience minimal discomfort during anti-wrinkle injections. The needles used are very fine, and some clinics may offer topical anaesthesia to numb the area beforehand.
Do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Yes, anti-wrinkle injections are generally effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
They work by relaxing the muscles beneath the skin, making the skin appear smoother and less wrinkled.
The results can vary depending on individual factors such as skin type, depth of wrinkles, and the area treated. It’s recommended to consult with a qualified practitioner to assess suitability and expected outcomes.
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
When will I see the results?
The results of anti-wrinkle injections usually become noticeable within a few days, with full effects visible after about two weeks. The duration of the results can vary, but typically they last between three to four months.
Can anyone get anti-wrinkle injections?
While most people are suitable candidates for anti-wrinkle injections, it’s important to consult with a medical professional to determine if the treatment is right for you. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals with certain medical conditions may be advised against the procedure.
Are the results permanent?
No, the results of anti-wrinkle injections are temporary. Over time, the muscles gradually regain their movement, and wrinkles may reappear. To maintain the results, repeat treatments are typically recommended every few months.
How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?
The effects of anti-wrinkle injections typically last between 3 to 6 months. The duration can vary depending on individual factors like the area treated, the amount of product used, and the individual’s metabolism. Regular treatments can maintain the effect, and some individuals may find that over time, they require treatments less frequently.
