What it does
Anti-wrinkle injections relax specific muscles in the upper face for a few months. The lines those muscles fold into the skin get a rest, and the resting lines soften as a result.
The three areas men usually ask about are the forehead, the two vertical lines between the brows, and the lines at the outside corners of the eyes. Most first appointments are two or three of them.
The aim on a male face is not a flat forehead. It is that your face at rest stops reading as annoyed, while your face in a conversation still does what it always did.
It wears off in three to four months. There is nothing to undo and nothing to commit to.

- You have been thinking about it for two years and have not asked anyone
How it goes
-
Consultation, 10 minutes
A doctor watches your face move. Frown, raise, squint. Which areas get treated, and at what dose, comes out of that rather than off a menu.
-
Treatment, 5 minutes
A series of small injections with a very fine needle. It feels like a scratch each time. Most men do not need numbing cream and are out of the chair before they have settled into it.
-
The next fortnight
It starts to show at three to five days and is fully there at about two weeks. Do not judge it on day three, and do not let anyone else either.
-
Two-week review
Free. This is where a dose gets topped up if one side is working harder than the other, which is common and easily sorted.
Results
Same light, same angle, same distance, no retouching.
Nothing here yet. New results go up as patients consent to them.
A photograph goes up here only once the man in it has signed a consent form for that exact use. We would rather show you nothing than show you somebody else's stock photo, or a pair shot under two different lights.
Will I look frozen?
Not if it is dosed properly. The look people are afraid of comes from treating a man's forehead as though it were a woman's. Men have more muscle mass in the forehead and brow, which is why men usually need a higher dose in some areas and a lighter touch in others. Treated as a male face, you keep expression and lose the deep resting lines.
We start lower than the maximum on a first visit, and top up at your two-week review if it needs it. It is much easier to add than to wait three months for too much to wear off.
A note on what we can and cannot print
UK law does not allow clinics to advertise prescription-only medicines to the public. So you will not find a brand name anywhere on this site.
What you will find is what the treatment does, what it costs, and who does it. Your doctor will discuss the specific medicine with you at your consultation, which is where that conversation belongs anyway.
From £200
Priced by area, not by unit. Includes the consultation, the treatment, aftercare and your two-week review, including a top-up at that review if it needs one.
Male dosing is built into the price. There is no surcharge for being a man.
Who does it TBC
Every treatment at SkinBros is carried out by a doctor registered with the General Medical Council.
We do not build individual profiles for the doctors who treat you, because we would rather you trusted the clinic and the standard than a name on a website. Your doctor will introduce himself, and he will give you his GMC number if you ask. You can look any doctor up on the register yourself.
Every appointment starts with an assessment, and part of a doctor's job is to tell you when the answer is to do nothing.
Questions
Will I look frozen?
Not if it is dosed properly. The frozen look comes from treating a man's forehead as if it were a woman's. Men generally have more muscle mass in the forehead and brow, so male treatment means a higher dose in some places and a lighter touch in others. Treated as a male face, you keep expression and lose the deep resting lines. We start below the maximum on a first visit and top up at the two-week review if it needs it.
How long does it last?
Three to four months for most men. It builds slightly with repeat treatment, so people often find they can leave longer gaps after the first year.
What counts as an area?
The three common areas are the forehead, the lines between the brows, and the lines at the outside of the eyes. Most first appointments are two or three areas. You are quoted by area, and the price is the same for every man.
Does it hurt?
It is uncomfortable rather than painful. We use numbing cream first, and the filler itself contains a local anaesthetic. Anti-wrinkle injections feel like a scratch and are over in a couple of minutes. Most men tell us it was less than they expected.
Do men need more than women?
Usually, yes. That is exactly why several clinics add a men's surcharge of £30 to £120. We have built the male dose into the price instead of adding it at the till.
What if it has not worked in one spot?
Come to your two-week review and we will look at it together and top it up if it needs it. That review is free and it is part of the treatment, not an upsell.
Which product do you use?
