Aesthetic injections have transformed the world of non-surgical cosmetic treatments. In London, the demand for injectable treatments has grown significantly, with more people than ever seeking safe, effective, and natural-looking results without the downtime of surgery. Whether you are curious about Botox, dermal fillers, Profhilo, or skin boosters, this guide covers everything you need to know about aesthetic injections in London.
At The London Aesthetic Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of injectable treatments administered exclusively by qualified medical professionals. Our approach prioritises safety, natural results, and personalised care — ensuring every patient receives a treatment plan tailored to their unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What Are Aesthetic Injections?
Aesthetic injections are minimally invasive cosmetic procedures that use fine needles or cannulas to deliver substances beneath the skin. Unlike surgical procedures, they require no general anaesthesia, no incisions, and minimal recovery time. The most popular types of aesthetic injections include:
- Anti-wrinkle injections (Botulinum toxin / Botox) — relax muscles to smooth dynamic lines
- Dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid) — add volume, define contours, and restore youthful structure
- Profhilo — a bio-remodelling treatment that hydrates and tightens skin from within
- Skin boosters — micro-injections of hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and improve skin quality
- Fat dissolving injections (Aqualyx) — target stubborn localised fat deposits
Anti-Wrinkle Injections in London
Anti-wrinkle injections are the most popular aesthetic injection in the UK. Using botulinum toxin type A (commonly known by brand names such as Botox, Bocouture, and Azzalure), these injections temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic lines — the wrinkles that form through repeated expressions such as frowning, squinting, and smiling.
At our London Aesthetic Clinic, anti-wrinkle injections are used to treat forehead lines, glabellar lines (the "11s"), crow's feet, bunny lines, brow lift, lip flip, jaw slimming, and neck bands. Results typically last three to four months, with many patients finding that regular treatment leads to longer-lasting results over time.

Dermal Fillers in London
Dermal fillers are injectable gels — most commonly made from hyaluronic acid — that add volume, restore lost structure, and define facial contours. They are used to treat a wide range of concerns, from deep nasolabial folds and hollow under-eyes to flat cheekbones and undefined jawlines.
The most popular dermal filler treatments in London include lip fillers, cheek fillers, jawline fillers, tear trough fillers, and non-surgical rhinoplasty. At The London Aesthetic Clinic, we use only premium, CE-marked hyaluronic acid fillers from trusted brands such as Juvederm and Restylane.

Profhilo: The Skin Remodelling Injection
Profhilo is one of the most innovative aesthetic injections available in London. Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo is not used to add volume or define contours — instead, it works as a bio-remodelling agent, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin while providing intense, long-lasting hydration.
The treatment involves just five injection points on each side of the face (the BAP — Bio Aesthetic Points technique), making it one of the most comfortable injectable treatments available. Results include improved skin texture, increased firmness, and a natural, radiant glow that develops over four to six weeks.

Skin Boosters: Deep Hydration Injections
Skin boosters are micro-injections of highly hydrophilic hyaluronic acid that are delivered into the superficial dermis to improve skin quality from within. Unlike dermal fillers, they are not designed to add volume — instead, they work by attracting and retaining moisture, improving skin texture, tone, and radiance.
Popular skin booster brands include Juvederm Volite, Restylane Skinboosters, and Teosyal Redensity. They are particularly effective for dry, dull, or dehydrated skin, fine lines, and improving overall skin quality in the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.

Are Aesthetic Injections Safe?
When performed by a qualified medical professional, aesthetic injections are considered very safe. The key is choosing a practitioner who has the medical training, anatomical knowledge, and clinical experience to administer treatments correctly and manage any complications that may arise.
In the UK, the aesthetic industry is regulated, and from 2024, certain injectable treatments can only be legally administered by registered healthcare professionals. At The London Aesthetic Clinic, all treatments are performed by qualified medical practitioners who adhere to the highest standards of safety and clinical governance.
How to Choose a Provider for Aesthetic Injections in London
With so many clinics offering aesthetic injections in London, choosing the right provider can feel overwhelming. Here are the key factors to consider:
- Medical qualifications: Your practitioner should be a registered doctor, nurse prescriber, dentist, or pharmacist with specialist aesthetic training.
- Experience and portfolio: Look for before and after photos, patient testimonials, and evidence of ongoing training.
- Consultation process: A reputable clinic will always conduct a thorough consultation before treatment, including a full medical history review.
- Emergency protocols: Ensure the clinic has hyaluronidase (filler dissolving enzyme) on site and a clear protocol for managing complications.
- Aftercare support: Good clinics provide clear aftercare instructions and are available for follow-up appointments.
