Wrinkle smoothing treatments use carefully placed injections to relax specific facial muscles that cause lines and creases. By reducing the movement that forms these lines, the skin can appear smoother and more refreshed while still allowing natural facial expressions.
At Evolve Face, wrinkle treatments are tailored to each individual. During your consultation we will discuss the areas that concern you and create a treatment plan designed to achieve natural-looking results.
Areas we can treat
Wrinkle smoothing treatments can be used to soften lines in several areas of the face and neck.
Upper face
Additional areas
Neck
What happens during treatment
Treatment usually takes around 20 minutes. A series of small injections are placed into the targeted area. Most people find the treatment very quick and comfortable.
Results typically begin to appear within a few days, with full results visible after around two weeks.
How long results last
Results usually last around three to four months. Regular treatments may help maintain smoother skin and prevent lines from becoming deeper over time.
Wrinkle treatment FAQs
Will wrinkle treatments make my face look frozen?
No. Treatments are carefully planned to soften lines while still allowing natural movement and expression.
How quickly will I see results?
You may begin to notice results after three to five days, with full results visible after around two weeks.
How long do results last?
Most people find results last around three to four months.
Does treatment hurt?
The injections are very small and most people describe them as a slight pinprick.
Is there any downtime?
You can usually return to normal activities immediately, although we advise avoiding strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.
Though it may vary depending on the extent of your desired results, this treatment can typically be completed in one appointment.
Wrinkle smoothing treatments involve a series of gently administered injections to the areas that were pre-determined during your initial consultation and desired outcomes.
As pain perception varies from individual to individual, the level of discomfort that you feel will largely depend on your history with pain. The treatment involves a tiny needle to pierce the outer layer of skin and, though some discomfort may result, pain is typically minimal, and the actual injection of the product itself is not painful. If you have experienced eyebrow waxing or micro-blading, you are likely to find this treatment very tolerable.
The use of numbing cream on the treatment area is typically not necessary.
The results of this treatment are gradual and, though they may vary, patients are usually able to discern noticeable effects after 7 to 10 days with full effects becoming more apparent in two to three weeks following treatment. Peak effect is around 6 weeks after your treatment.


The longevity of your results is entirely dependent on the extent of the problem and your treatment history, as the more often a patient receives wrinkle smoothing treatment, the longer results may last. As is typical of any muscle that is not used it becomes weaker, so it will take longer to get back to full strength the more often you have treatment.
Typically, results can last anywhere between 2 and 4 months. As botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring, biodegradable substance, its effects are not permanent and will always wear off as the body breaks down and processes the organic substance.
Side effects are typically limited to the redness and swelling that results from piercing the skin at the injection sites. This usually diminished within 10 to 15 minutes.
Some patients may also experience bruising at the injection site ranging from a pinprick to a more substantial bruise. Again, the extent of the bruising is entirely patient-dependent and will last as long as bruises normally last for that specific individual.
Very rarely, a patient may experience slight eyelid or forehead drooping or even more rarely, blurred vision in reaction to the injection that can last as long as the substance itself remains active. However, the chances of experiencing these adverse effects are very low and can be reduced for the most part by working with an experienced dentist like Carol and Yasmin at Evolve Dentistry.
Though patients may experience slight swelling and bruising, that is the extent of the typical side effects involved with wrinkle smoothing treatments, and patients can return to work immediately after their appointment if they desire.
We advise that any individual receiving wrinkle smoothing treatment at our practice abstains from drinking alcohol the night before the treatment as having alcohol in the system can increase your risk of bruising.


Post-operation, it is best to refrain from lying down for 2 to 3 hours post-procedure and abstain from applying makeup or moisturiser to the treated areas for the remainder of the day.
In addition, it is important that patients do not engage in any exercise or alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours, as this can reduce the benefit of your treatment.
Finally, avoid saunas, steam rooms, facials or sunbeds for at least 2 weeks post-procedure and keep the treated area out of the sun as much as possible for that period. Always wear a high factor sunscreen everyday.
For patients who are content with their results, a follow-up appointment is unnecessary unless further treatment is a part of your treatment plan.
At Evolve Dentistry, we ask that patients wait a minimum of 2 weeks before the full benefit of treatment can be assessed. This allows the treatment time to become active and take full effect. However, if you experience swelling, pain, redness, visual disturbance or any unexpected reaction, please contact us as soon as possible.
If the 2-week period has come to an end, and you are still concerned with the results, we request that you wait no longer than 4 weeks out from your initial procedure to contact our practice. We do not carry out any adjustments of the treatment more than 4 weeks after the initial treatment as this can lead to resistance to the product’s effectiveness in the future.

1. What is wrinkle smoothing and how does it work?
Wrinkle smoothing involves the use of a purified protein (typically botulinum toxin) that temporarily relaxes facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles. It’s a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment commonly used for areas such as the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
2. Is wrinkle smoothing treatment safe?
Yes, when administered by a qualified professional, wrinkle smoothing is a safe and well-established procedure. It has been extensively used in both medical and aesthetic settings for decades, with a strong safety record. Possible side effects are usually mild and temporary.
3. Who can perform wrinkle smoothing treatments in Portishead?
In the UK, wrinkle smoothing treatments must be carried out by a trained healthcare professional, such as a dentist, doctor, or nurse who is registered with a relevant governing body. Many dental practices in Portishead now offer these treatments as part of their facial aesthetics services.
4. How long do the results last?
Results typically last between 3 to 4 months, depending on factors such as your metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated. Over time, with consistent treatment, some patients notice longer-lasting effects.
5. Is the procedure painful?
Most patients describe only minimal discomfort during the procedure. The use of a very fine needle and experienced technique helps ensure a comfortable experience. Some practitioners also offer numbing cream for added reassurance.
6. What areas can be treated?
The most commonly treated areas include forehead lines, frown lines (between the eyebrows), and crow’s feet (around the eyes). Other advanced areas can include bunny lines, chin dimpling, and jawline slimming, depending on your provider’s expertise.
7. Will I look ‘frozen’ or unnatural?
Not when treated by a skilled practitioner. The goal of wrinkle smoothing is to achieve a natural, refreshed look – not a frozen appearance. A personalised consultation ensures your treatment is tailored to your facial expressions and preferences.
8. How long does the procedure take?
The treatment typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes, making it an ideal option for those with busy schedules. There is no significant downtime, and most people return to normal activities straight away.
9. Are there any side effects or risks?
Side effects are generally minor and temporary, including slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Rare complications can occur but are greatly minimised when treated by an experienced professional.
10. How much does wrinkle smoothing cost in Portishead?
Prices vary depending on the practitioner and the number of areas treated. As a general guide, single areas start from around £250, with multi-area treatments costing up to £400–£500. Always ensure your provider is fully qualified and transparent about costs during consultation.
