Botulinum toxin, commonly referred to by one of its brand names, Botox®, is a highly refined protein used in aesthetic medicine to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, offering a fresher, more youthful complexion.
This treatment works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles, particularly effective in the upper facial areas. Botulinum toxin is the cornerstone of our London practice for addressing aesthetic concerns such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, ensuring a naturally vibrant and rejuvenated appearance. In London, Dr Thomas uses Botox alongside other brands in our clinic, such as Azzalure and Bocouture.
At our aesthetic clinic near Harley Street, London, Dr Owen Thomas specialises in enhancing facial aesthetics including with reducing lines and wrinkles.
At Infinity Aesthetics, we harness the age-defying effects of botulinum toxin to target signs of ageing in the upper face, where muscle activity significantly contributes to the appearance of wrinkles. The primary indications for using botulinum toxin in this area include:
Forehead Lines: The horizontal lines that appear across the forehead from raising the eyebrows.
Frown Lines: The deep grooves between the brows that develop from frowning or concentrating.
Crow’s Feet: The fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes that become more pronounced with laughing or squinting.
Dr Owen Thomas expertly tailors each botulinum toxin treatment in London to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals, enhancing your natural beauty while maintaining the full range of facial expressions.

Patients usually only experience very mild side effects (if any) following injections, such as a transient headache for a small number of people or sometimes mild bruising. Directly after the treatment, there are often small lumps that fade after ten minutes or so.
Anti-wrinkle injections/Botox are available from our Aesthetic clinic in London, on Mondays and Tuesdays. 114 New Cavendish Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1W 6XT.
There are a number of areas that are frequently requested for treatment by our clients such as:

Wrinkles around the eyes
Forehead creases
Creases at the corners of the mouth
Creased skin on the chin
We also offer treatment to alleviate pain stemming from teeth grinding or to slim the lower face. If medically necessary, we can also provide treatment for hyperhidrosis and chronic migraine.
The anti-wrinkle injections we use have been approved by many regulatory bodies including the FDA, and have been studied in trials for many years. The likelihood of any serious complications arising following treatment is very low.
There are some patients that are unsuitable for anti-wrinkle injections such as those that are pregnant or breastfeeding, or myasthenia gravis. Any conditions like these will be assessed by Dr Owen in the medical consultation prior to any treatment being performed.
Normally, results of Botox in London will start to show after 3-4 days, however it could take around 10-14 days for the maximum effect of the treatment to show.
As a guide, anti-wrinkle injections tend to last for around 3-4 months, but this figure will vary for each person. Periodic maintenance every 3-6 months will sustain the effect for longer.
Botox treatment sessions in London with Dr. Thomas typically last 20-30 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with a busy schedule. This gives enough time for the precise marking and use of the robot Juvapen which is more comfortable and much more accurate than humans!
Dr. Thomas may recommend combining Botox with other treatments for enhanced results. A personalized plan will be developed during your consultation.
There isn’t anything specific you have to do or avoid before a botulinum toxin consultation and treatment. A detailed pre-treatment plan will be provided during your consultation.
Success in botulinum toxin treatment is seen in the smoothness and improved appearance of the treated area with preserved brow position and symmetry. Dr. Thomas offers follow-up consultations to assess and ensure satisfaction with the results.
Pricing depends on the number of areas in the upper face and is priced specifically for other areas of the face.

Dr Thomas takes a full history and examines muscle movement. The area is precisely marked and this can be reproduced in future treatments to maintain consistency. He takes considerably longer around this preparation than most clinics as precision with Botox is essential for any treatment.

Wrinkles form over the years as the muscles in your face contract and expand when you laugh, smile, talk, or express any other emotion. With time, the wrinkles that form with facial movements become static, and the grooves become deeper.Anti-wrinkle injections/Botox in London can slow or even prevent the development of these grooves, giving you the opportunity to challenge your own ageing process.
