Relax, Revive & Refresh
At The York Dental Suite, we offer premium anti-wrinkle treatments that deliver natural-looking results while maintaining your facial expressiveness. Whether you’re looking to soften crow’s feet, smooth forehead lines, or address more advanced concerns, our treatments are tailored to your individual aesthetic goals.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a safe, proven cosmetic treatment that smooths fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause them. Using purified botulinum toxin, these treatments work by blocking nerve signals to specific facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and creating wrinkles.
We exclusively use premium, clinically proven products:
- Botox® (Allergan)
- Azzalure® (Galderma)
- Neuvia® (Matex Lab)
All products are licensed for use in the UK and sourced from reputable suppliers, ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety.

- Are experiencing fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions
- Want to prevent the formation of deeper wrinkles and enhance their natural features

Step-by-Step Process
We start every treatment with a detailed consultation, where Dr Valencia will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns and goals, review your medical history, and create a personalised plan for you.
After thorough cleansing and preparation, the injection points will be marked to ensure precise placement before the product is carefully injected into the target muscles using an ultra-fine needle.
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive detailed guidance on aftercare to ensure a quick recovery. In total, you’ll be with us for around 45-60 minutes for your first visit, and less for follow up sessions.
The initial results will be visible after 3-5 days and you’ll see the full effects after 10-14 days, though some patients notice improvements much quicker. You can expect effects to last up to 6 months, but this varies based on each individual’s lifestyle and metabolism.
Maintenance Schedule
For optimal results, we recommend:
- Initial treatments: Every 3-4 months
- Established patients: May extend to 4-6 months between treatments
- Regular maintenance helps prevent deeper wrinkle formation
- Consistent treatment can lead to longer-lasting results over time

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Does it hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. The sensation is often described as a small pinch or brief stinging. We use ultra-fine needles, and the injections are quick. If you’re concerned about pain, we can apply topical numbing cream or use ice to minimise discomfort. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is.
2. How long does the treatment take?
The injection process itself typically takes 15 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Your first appointment will be longer (30-40 minutes) as it includes a thorough consultation with Dr Valencia. Subsequent treatments are usually quicker as your treatment plan is already established.
3. Can I go back to work after treatment?
Yes, absolutely. Anti-wrinkle treatments require no downtime. Most patients return to work or normal activities immediately. You may have minor redness or small bumps at injection sites, but these typically resolve within an hour or two. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive heat for 24 hours, but you can resume most normal activities right away.
4. When will I see results?
You’ll begin to notice improvements within 3-5 days of treatment, with full results visible at 10-14 days. The effects develop gradually as the product takes effect on the targeted muscles. Some patients notice changes within 24-48 hours, while others take the full two weeks. We schedule a complimentary review at two weeks to assess your results.
5. How long do results last?
Results typically last 3-4 months, though this varies between individuals. Factors affecting duration include your metabolism, muscle strength, lifestyle, and the area treated. Some patients enjoy results for up to 6 months, while others metabolise the product more quickly. Hyperhidrosis treatments often last 6-12 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help extend results over time.
6. What’s the cost?
Pricing varies depending on the areas treated. Single areas start from £180, with combination treatments and full-face options offering better value. During your consultation, Dr Valencia will provide a detailed quote based on your specific needs. We offer package deals for multiple areas and financing options to make treatment more accessible.
7. Am I a suitable candidate?
Most healthy adults seeking to reduce wrinkles or prevent their formation are suitable candidates. You may not be suitable if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain neurological conditions, or are allergic to the product ingredients. Dr Valencia will conduct a thorough assessment during your consultation to determine if treatment is right for you.
8. What are the risks?
Anti-wrinkle treatments are very safe when performed by a qualified practitioner like Dr Valencia. Common side effects include temporary redness, minor swelling, or light bruising at injection sites. Serious complications are extremely rare. The most concerning potential side effect is temporary eyelid or eyebrow drooping, which is very uncommon with an experienced injector and resolves on its own within a few weeks if it occurs.
9. Who performs the treatment?
All treatments are performed exclusively by Dr Camila Valencia, a qualified aesthetic doctor with extensive training and experience in facial aesthetics. Dr Valencia has completed advanced courses in facial anatomy and injection techniques and maintains her skills through regular professional development. You can be confident you’re in expert hands.
10. How do I book an appointment?
Booking is easy. You can call us, or contact us through our website. We typically have appointments available within 1-2 weeks. New patients should allow extra time for the initial consultation. We’re happy to answer any questions you have before booking.
