Subtle, Medical Anti-Wrinkle Treatment: A Real Patient Example

At Ivy & Co. Aesthetics, we’re proud to offer clinically led aesthetic care that’s grounded in evidence-based medicine, patient safety, and natural-looking outcomes.

This case example demonstrates how a carefully tailored approach to facial rejuvenation can support a patient’s goals without altering their natural expression.

Understanding Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

Anti-wrinkle treatments have gained popularity in recent years. Many individuals seek these procedures to enhance their appearance and boost their confidence. However, it is crucial to approach these treatments with care and consideration.

Initial Concern:

The patient reported that forehead lines and a deep frown crease were making her look tired or cross, even when she was relaxed. She wanted to explore options to achieve a fresher appearance, but was concerned about looking ‘frozen’ or unnatural.

Clinical Assessment:

Following a thorough consultation with our Clinical Pharmacist Prescriber, we assessed the patient’s muscle movement, medical history, and aesthetic goals.

It was agreed that a prescription-only anti-wrinkle treatment would be appropriate, following a full medical assessment and consent. Treatment focused on:

• Frontalis (forehead lines)

• Glabellar complex (frown lines)

  
  

All medicines were prescribed individually and administered in line with current UK prescribing law.

Outcome:

As shown in the before-and-after images:

• The forehead now appears smoother with dynamic lines softened, while retaining movement.

• The frown lines have visibly relaxed, creating a more open and rested look.

  
  

Importantly, the patient retained natural expression — an essential principle in all our treatments.

📌 Please note: Results vary. All injectable treatments involve medical risk and are only carried out following a consultation. Prescription-only medicines cannot be advertised to the public by name.

Our Approach:

We do not believe in over-treatment or generic approaches. Each treatment plan is:

• Individually prescribed

• Medically risk-assessed

• Tailored to muscle activity, anatomy, and goals
