Glasgow has one of the strongest medical aesthetics scenes in Scotland, with several doctor led clinics in the West End and city centre that are registered with Healthcare Improvement Scotland. Anti wrinkle injections are among the most requested treatments here. This is what to expect locally, the honest risks, indicative prices and how to choose well.
Medical disclaimer · Anti wrinkle injections are a prescription medical treatment. This page is general information, not medical advice. Results vary and are not guaranteed, and any treatment should follow an in person assessment by a qualified prescribing practitioner. Prices are indicative ranges only.
Tiny amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into specific muscles, most often the forehead, frown lines and around the eyes. It takes around ten to fifteen minutes. A prescriber must assess you first, since this is a prescription only medicine.
Movement softens over three to seven days, with the full effect by around two weeks. Results typically last three to four months, so most people return two or three times a year. A two week review is common for any small adjustment.
A good injector aims to soften lines while keeping natural expression, not to freeze the face. Conservative dosing tailored to your muscles tends to age better than a heavy first treatment.

All figures are indicative ranges for guidance only. They vary by clinic, the injector's training, the number of areas and the dose. Always confirm the price and what is included with the provider before booking.

Downtime is minimal. Expect small pinprick marks and occasionally a little bruising or a mild headache for a day or two. The main risks come from technique rather than the product. If placed poorly, the effect can be uneven or a brow or eyelid can temporarily droop, which settles as the medicine wears off over a few weeks. Because this is a prescription only medicine, it must be prescribed by a qualified practitioner who has assessed you in person. Avoid rubbing the area or lying flat for several hours, and follow the aftercare your clinic gives you. Choose a registered prescriber in a proper clinic over a salon offer, and never feel rushed.
Good to know · Ask who prescribes and who injects, whether they offer a two week review, and to start conservatively for a first treatment. A good clinic will adjust at review rather than overdose at the first visit.
