Anti Wrinkle Treatments

Anti-wrinkle treatments are one of the most effective ways to soften lines, prevent deeper wrinkles from forming, and create a refreshed, relaxed appearance — without changing the way you look.

I focus on natural, balanced results. The goal isn’t a frozen face or a “done” look — it’s to look well-rested, smoother, and like the best version of yourself on a really good day 

Anti-wrinkle treatments work by relaxing targeted muscles that cause repetitive movement. Over time, this allows the skin to smooth, prevents deeper lines from forming, and can even improve skin quality in certain areas.

Treatments are quick, with minimal downtime, and results gradually appear over 7–14 days, lasting around 3–4 months.

First-Time Client Reassurance

If you’re new to anti-wrinkle treatments, it’s completely normal to feel nervous. Every treatment at Ocean Pearl Beauty is carried out with safety, subtlety, and natural results as the priority.

Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation where we discuss your concerns, facial movement, and goals. Nothing is rushed, and no treatment is ever carried out unless it is suitable and you feel comfortable.

Anti-wrinkle treatments do not change who you are. They are designed to help you look rested, relaxed, and refreshed, not frozen or overdone. Results develop gradually and can always be adjusted at review if needed.

You’re always in control of your treatment, and honest advice will be given if a treatment is not in your best interest.

Areas I Treat & Why You’d Choose Them

Forehead Lines

Forehead lines are horizontal lines that appear when raising the eyebrows. Treatment helps soften these lines while maintaining natural expression. The goal is a smoother, more relaxed forehead without heaviness or stiffness.

Why treat this area?
✔️ Smooths horizontal lines
✔️ Prevents deep wrinkles forming
✔️ Creates a more relaxed, youthful appearance
✔️ Can be tailored to keep natural movement

Frown Lines (11s)

Frown lines sit between the eyebrows and can create a tired, stressed, or angry appearance. Treating this area relaxes the muscles responsible for deep frowning, helping the face appear calmer and more refreshed.

Why treat this area?
✔️ Softens a tired or angry appearance
✔️ Prevents lines becoming etched into the skin
✔️ Can relieve tension headaches caused by muscle strain
✔️ Creates a calmer, more approachable expression

Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are the fine lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting. Treatment softens these lines while maintaining a natural smile and expression.

Why treat this area?
✔️ Softens fine lines while keeping your smile natural
✔️ Creates a brighter, refreshed eye area
✔️ Helps prevent deeper wrinkles over time
✔️ Enhances results when combined with under-eye treatments

Bunny Lines (Nose Wrinkles)

Bunny lines are the small diagonal lines that appear on the sides of the nose when smiling or scrunching the face. Anti-wrinkle treatment in this area helps soften these lines, creating a smoother appearance around the nose without affecting your smile or facial expression.

This treatment is ideal if you notice lines appearing when you laugh or smile and want a more polished, balanced look.

Why treat this area?
✔️ Softens nose creasing
✔️ Prevents lines deepening over time
✔️ Creates smoother facial transitions when smiling

Lip Flip

A lip flip uses anti-wrinkle treatment to gently relax the muscle around the upper lip. This allows the lip to roll slightly outward, creating the appearance of a fuller upper lip without adding volume.

A lip flip does not add size like filler. Instead, it enhances the natural shape of the lip and can help reduce a gummy smile. It’s ideal if you want subtle enhancement and a softer lip appearance.

Why treat this area?
✔️ Enhances the lip shape without adding volume
✔️ Creates a subtle, natural pout
✔️ Reduces lip lines caused by puckering
✔️ Perfect for clients wanting enhancement without filler

Gummy Smile

A gummy smile occurs when the upper lip lifts too high when smiling, exposing more gum than desired. This is often caused by overactive muscles in the upper lip rather than the size or shape of the teeth.

Anti-wrinkle treatment for a gummy smile works by gently relaxing the muscles that elevate the upper lip. This allows the lip to sit slightly lower when smiling, reducing the amount of gum visible and creating a more balanced, natural smile.

This treatment does not affect your ability to smile or speak. The aim is subtle improvement, not restriction of movement.

Why You Might Choose Gummy Smile Treatment

• You feel self-conscious about showing too much gum when smiling
• Your smile feels unbalanced despite healthy teeth
• You want a non-surgical solution
• You want subtle, natural-looking results
• You want to enhance your smile without filler or dental treatment

Why treat this area?
✔️ Reduces excessive gum show
✔️ Creates a more balanced smile
✔️ Boosts confidence when smiling

Downturned Mouth (DAO)

The DAO muscles pull the corners of the mouth downward and can create a sad, tired, or angry-looking expression even when your face is relaxed.

Treating the DAO muscles helps lift the corners of the mouth slightly, creating a softer, happier resting expression. This treatment is subtle but can make a noticeable difference to facial balance and confidence.

Why treat this area?
✔️ Lifts the corners of the mouth
✔️ Softens a sad or tired expression
✔️ Improves lower-face balance
✔️ Works beautifully alongside lip treatments

Chin (Orange Peel / Dimpled Chin)

A dimpled or “orange peel” chin is caused by overactive chin muscles. Anti-wrinkle treatment relaxes these muscles, smoothing the skin and creating a softer, more even chin appearance.

This treatment can also help improve facial harmony and works well alongside other lower-face treatments.

Why treat this area?
✔️ Smooths chin texture
✔️ Softens harsh expressions
✔️ Improves facial harmony
✔️ Enhances results of lower-face treatments

Jawline Slimming

Jawline slimming targets the masseter muscles, which are responsible for clenching and grinding. When overactive, these muscles can create a bulky or square jawline.

Relaxing the masseter muscles helps slim and soften the jawline while also relieving tension, jaw pain, and teeth grinding. Over time, the face appears more balanced and contoured.

Why treat this area?
✔️ Slims and softens a bulky jawline
✔️ Reduces jaw tension and headaches
✔️ Helps with teeth grinding (bruxism)
✔️ Creates a more contoured lower face

Trap Tox (Neck & Shoulders)

Trap Tox targets the trapezius muscles in the shoulders and neck, which often become tight and overactive due to stress, posture, desk work, and tension.

This treatment has recently become popular on social media and is often referred to as “Barbie Tox” due to its aesthetic effect of creating a longer-looking neck and softer shoulder line. While the trend name focuses on appearance, the treatment also offers significant functional benefits.

By relaxing the trapezius muscles, Trap Tox can help reduce muscle tension, stiffness, and discomfort, improve posture, and relieve pressure caused by overworked shoulders. As the muscles relax over time, the shoulders appear less bulky and the neckline looks more elongated and refined.

This treatment is popular with clients who experience shoulder pain, tension headaches, teeth grinding, or stress-related muscle tightness, as well as those seeking a more sculpted upper body profile.

Trap Tox combines wellbeing and aesthetic benefits, making it ideal for clients who want to feel better and look more balanced at the same time.

Why treat this area?
✔️ Relieves tension and stiffness
✔️ Improves posture
✔️ Reduces shoulder pain
✔️ Creates a longer, slimmer neck appearance

Anti-Wrinkle Treatments – Is It Right for Me?

Anti-wrinkle treatments are designed to soften dynamic lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements such as frowning, squinting, and raising the eyebrows. They work by temporarily relaxing specific muscles, allowing the skin to appear smoother, fresher, and more rested.

Anti-wrinkle treatments are not about freezing your face or changing how you look. When carried out correctly, they help you look refreshed, relaxed, and naturally youthful, while still maintaining facial expression.

Anti-Wrinkle Treatments May Be Right for You If You:

• Notice lines when you frown, smile, or raise your eyebrows
• Want to soften existing lines and prevent deeper wrinkles forming
• Feel your face looks tired, stressed, or tense
• Want subtle, natural-looking results
• Prefer non-surgical treatments with minimal downtime

Anti-Wrinkle Treatments May Not Be Suitable If You:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have certain medical or neurological conditions
• Have an active infection in the treatment area
• Are looking for dramatic or unrealistic changes

Suitability is always confirmed during a full consultation, and treatment will only proceed if it is safe and appropriate for you.

Medical vs Aesthetic Benefits

Anti-wrinkle treatments are often thought of as purely cosmetic, but many treatment areas offer both medical and aesthetic benefits.

Medical benefits focus on improving comfort, function, and quality of life. By relaxing overactive muscles, anti-wrinkle treatments can help reduce muscle tension, pain, headaches, jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and posture-related discomfort. Treatments such as jawline slimming and Trap Tox are commonly chosen for these reasons.

Aesthetic benefits focus on balance, symmetry, and softening the appearance of lines or muscle bulk. Relaxing targeted muscles can create smoother skin, a more relaxed facial expression, a softer jawline, or a longer-looking neck and shoulder line.

Many clients experience both benefits at the same time. For example, reducing jaw tension can ease discomfort while also slimming the jawline, and relaxing shoulder muscles can improve posture while creating a more refined neckline.

Every treatment is planned with both function and appearance in mind, ensuring results look natural while supporting your wellbeing.

Anti-Wrinkle Treatments – Myths vs Facts

Myth: Anti-wrinkle treatments freeze your face
Fact: When performed correctly, treatments soften movement rather than stop it. Facial expression is maintained, and results look natural and refreshed.

Myth: Anti-wrinkle treatments are only for wrinkles
Fact: These treatments can also help with muscle tension, headaches, jaw clenching, teeth grinding, posture issues, and discomfort.

Myth: Once you start, you can’t stop
Fact: You can stop at any time. Muscle movement will gradually return to normal, and your skin will return to how it was before treatment.

Myth: Anti-wrinkle treatments make you look fake or overdone
Fact: Overdone results are due to poor technique or excessive treatment, not the treatment itself. Subtle, tailored treatment looks natural.

Myth: Anti-wrinkle treatments are only for older clients
Fact: Many clients choose treatment preventatively to soften early lines and reduce the chance of deeper wrinkles forming over time.

Myth: Results are instant
Fact: Results develop gradually over several days, with full results visible around two weeks after treatment.

Anti-Wrinkle Review Appointments

A review appointment is an essential part of anti-wrinkle treatments. Reviews are scheduled 2 weeks after treatment, once the product has fully settled and results can be accurately assessed.

This appointment allows me to check symmetry, muscle response, and overall outcome, and to make adjustments where clinically appropriate.

Anti-Wrinkle Review Appointment

This appointment includes a full assessment of your results, muscle movement, and symmetry, along with professional advice.

If additional anti-wrinkle product is required following assessment, this will be charged separately.

Missed Anti-Wrinkle Review Appointments
