Anti-wrinkle injections are becoming a go-to treatment for both men and women looking to refresh their appearance. Over time, repeated facial movements—like frowning, squinting, and even smiling—can cause lines and wrinkles to form, making the face look tired. These injections target specific areas, helping to soften these lines and restore a more youthful look.
Using an FDA-approved formula, anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the muscles responsible for deep-set lines. This prevents excessive contractions that lead to wrinkles while still allowing for natural expressions—no frozen faces here!
Since everyone ages differently, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. That’s why a consultation is essential to assess your concerns and create a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your needs.
The procedure itself is quick and precise, using a fine needle to deliver the product directly into the targeted muscles. House of Riri's expert team ensures the right amount is administered to smooth the skin while maintaining a natural look.
Common areas treated include:
✔ Forehead lines
✔ Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
✔ Frown lines
✔ Lip lines (smoker’s lines)
✔ Chin dimpling
✔ Marionette lines (downturned corners of the mouth)
✔ Bunny lines (lines on the nose)
✔ Neck bands
Results typically last around 3 to 4 months, with regular top-ups helping to maintain a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Although the signs of ageing usually start to appear when a person is in their 30’s, the process often begins several years before. When repeated facial movements combine with weakening skin (as collagen and elastin start to deplete) the fine lines that would appear and then disappear during facial expressions can start to become permanent and more defined.
A thorough facial assessment during a pre-treatment consultation will take into account the depth of your wrinkles and your realistic outcomes to ensure a bespoke treatment plan is made, just for you.
The effects of wrinkle injections for cosmetic uses has been extensively researched, throughout the world. First given FDA approval 2002 it has been used millions of times and when administered by an experienced injector, produces many safe and effective results.

In general, anti-wrinkle injections are not particularly painful and the use of a very fine needle helps to make this treatment as comfortable as possible. It almost feels like a pinch to the skin which lasts 3 seconds and immediately goes away!
Just as ageing differs from person to person, so does every person’s own level of comfort and a numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area 20 – 30 minutes beforehand if the therapist feels this is necessary. Any sensitivity will only last for the duration of the treatment, as it is being administered.
After the treatment, you may find small red bumps on the skin where the injections were administered which can also be accompanied by some slight bruising or a minor headache. These effects are only temporary and will often have disappeared within a few days.
When administered correctly, complications are rare and the team will explain all potential side effects during your pre-treatment consultation, including: headaches, fever, poor healing and scarring.
It is usual for patients to continue with their day within a couple of hours of having undergone anti-wrinkle injections and in most cases, any sensitivity has subsided within 24 or 48 hours.
The results from this treatment will start to show after 3 – 10 days, with the full outcome being visible at around day 30. Although causing no disruption to your day, it is advised that you avoid strenuous activity, Saunas and other facial treatments for up to 24 hours.
