Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Smooth lines and restore a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Amazing anti-wrinkle treatments made for you

Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments worldwide - and for good reason. At The Skin Lab Killarney, we use precision techniques to soften dynamic lines and wrinkles, helping you look refreshed and rejuvenated while maintaining natural facial expression.

By temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, anti-wrinkle injections smooth existing wrinkles and help prevent new ones from forming. Results are subtle and natural - you'll still look like you, just more rested.

Anti-Wrinkle Injection Benefits

  • Smooth existing lines and wrinkles
  • Prevent new lines from forming
  • Natural-looking results - you still look like you
  • Quick treatment - typically 15-30 minutes
  • Minimal downtime - return to activities immediately

What Is the Downtime?

Most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience some minor, temporary side effects including:

  • Mild redness or swelling at injection sites (resolves within hours)
  • Slight tenderness or bruising (resolves within days)
  • Occasional mild headache
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and lying flat for 4 hours after treatment.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections FAQs

Results typically last 3-4 months, though this varies between individuals. With regular treatments, many clients find their results last longer over time as the muscles become trained to relax.

Most clients describe the sensation as a slight pinch or sting. The needles used are very fine, and the procedure is quick - usually taking just 15-30 minutes. Numbing cream can be applied if you're concerned about discomfort.

You'll start to notice results within 3-5 days, with full effects visible at around 2 weeks. We recommend a review appointment at 2 weeks to assess your results and make any adjustments if needed.

Not when done correctly. Our approach focuses on natural-looking results that soften lines while preserving your facial expression. You'll look refreshed and rested - not frozen. We believe in the "less is more" philosophy.

No, we do not perform anti-wrinkle injections on pregnant or breastfeeding clients. We recommend waiting until you have finished breastfeeding before booking treatment.

Anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles (lines that appear with movement). Dermal fillers add volume to restore lost facial volume and smooth static wrinkles (lines visible at rest). Many clients combine both treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

When Will I See Results?

  • Day 1-3: You may notice slight swelling or redness at injection sites
  • Day 3-5: Early relaxation of muscles begins
  • Day 7-10: Significant smoothing of lines visible
  • Day 14: Full results achieved - review appointment recommended
  • Month 3-4: Results begin to gradually wear off
  • Month 4+: Maintenance treatment recommended

Brenda Carmody

I cannot recommend The Skin Lab enough...I had the resurfacing laser treatment and I am thrilled with the results. I found Claire to be so professional and experienced in her field of expertise....the girl has healing hands people!!! She also recommended some homecare products which were extremely effective in treating my particular skin concern. Couldn't be happier, I would highly recommend a visit. Thanks again The Skin Lab.

Ciara Murphy

Lovely staff members at the reputable skin lab in Kerry, makes you feel very comfortable from start to finish and are very helpful and knowledgeable about the treatment they provide. All areas are very clean and tidy.

Moira Godley

While working with Claire I found that she showed great professionalism and was able to carry out treatment with diligence. She also knew exactly what products I should use to go with her treatment in order to clear up my acne (and was very open to questions with regards to those products) which had noticeably cleared within a few weeks after treatment and use of the products she recommended.

James Carmody

Super recommend it! ... Claire is really kind and an excellent professional! The place is comfortable and they have a specific treatments for you. By the way, the product that they have in there, are amazing!

Débora Estevão

My skin is glowing since I started visiting the Skin Lab and using all recommended products.

Denise Uí Bheaglaoi

I have been going to Claire since she opened 3 years ago for my skin. She is always so welcoming, friendly and beyond professional. There is nothing that Claire doesn't know when it comes to skin. I wouldn't trust any one or any where else with my skin. Highly recommend The Skin Lab, Claire and Shauna to anyone who wants to invest in their skin.

Sarah

Had a skin consultation with Claire last week and found it extremely helpful. She set out a clear skin routine for me and was very reasonable when it came to choosing products. Claire was very efficient and organised and had my products sent out to me within an hour of the consultation. I would highly recommend the skin lab to people.

Roisin Begley

I highly recommend the Skin Lab! During my consultation, Claire explained to me very clearly what was going on with my skin, and importantly how I could remedy. Within one month of following her instructions my skin transformed, and it really has never looked (or felt) better. Claire is an expert and I really trust her advice and care!

Sophie Daly

If there were 6 stars The Skin Lab would get it.
I had been going to Claire for 10 months pre lockdown and my skin hadn't looked so good since my early 20s. I really didn't want to let all of our hard work in clinic go to waste so Claire has been working with me prescribing the most effective at home skin peels. They really are the nearest thing you will get to treatment in the clinic. I really can't wait for the clinic to open up again and hope up on that bed! If you are looking for a results-driven friendly & professional clinic then I highly recommend The Skin Lab.

Sue-Ellen Carroll

I've been going to The Skin Lab for 3 years having suffered with Adult Acne for 8 years. I've been to many Aestheticians and Dermatologists but none have come close to The Skin Lab. The level of knowledge both Claire and Shauna have is unbelievable and they genuinely want you to see results so they will not let you buy or try a treatment they know won't work for your issue. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Sharon Fleming

Having always cared for my skin and had regular facials, I was astounded by the difference after even one facial.. my skin is exceptional since and the compliments are flowing!
