What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botox)?
Anti-wrinkle injections—commonly known by the brand name Botox® and Azzalure® —use a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax specific facial muscles. By blocking the nerve signals that cause repetitive muscle contractions, these injections smooth out existing lines and prevent new wrinkles from forming, giving your skin a softer, more rested appearance.
Benefits of Anti-Wrinkle Injections
- Smoothes dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as frown lines, forehead creases and crow's feet.
- Prevents deeper line formation by reducing habitual muscle movement.
- Quick, minimally invasive procedure with no downtime—often called a "lunchtime treatment".
- Natural-looking results when administered by an experienced medical professional.
- Boosts confidence by refreshing your appearance without changing your face.
- Versatile therapeutic uses, including treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), jaw tension and migraines.
- Results typically begin to appear within 2 to 5 days, with the full effect visible by 10 to 14 days, lasting approximately 3 to 4 months.
Why Your Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Must Be Prescribed by a Medical Professional?
In the UK, botulinum toxin is classified as a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM) under the Human Medicines Regulations 2012. This means it can only be supplied following a face-to-face consultation with a suitably qualified prescriber—such as a doctor, dentist or Independent Nurse Prescriber.
From 1 June 2025, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) introduced strict new standards requiring all nurse and midwife prescribers to conduct an in-person consultation before prescribing botulinum toxin for cosmetic use. Remote prescribing via video call, telephone or email is now explicitly prohibited for aesthetic injectables.
At Lisa Kendall Medical Aesthetics, your safety is paramount. As an Independent Nurse Prescriber, Lisa conducts a thorough face-to-face assessment for every patient, reviewing your medical history, examining your facial anatomy and muscle movement, and discussing your aesthetic goals before any prescription is issued. This ensures your treatment is not only effective but medically appropriate and personally tailored.

At Lisa Kendall Medical Aesthetics, we use Azzalure®—a premium botulinum toxin type A developed specifically for aesthetic treatments. Azzalure is derived from the same trusted strain as Dysport® and is manufactured by Galderma, a world-leading dermatology company.
