Injectable treatments have become the cornerstone of modern non-surgical aesthetics in London. Safe, effective, and requiring minimal downtime, they offer a wide range of benefits — from smoothing wrinkles and restoring volume to improving skin quality and contouring the face and body. At The London Aesthetic Clinic, all injectable treatments are administered by medically qualified practitioners using only premium, clinically proven products.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botox) in London
Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Treatment takes approximately 15–20 minutes, with results appearing within 3–7 days and lasting 3–4 months. Common treatment areas include the forehead, glabella (between the brows), and crow's feet.
Dermal Fillers in London
Dermal fillers are injectable gels — most commonly made from hyaluronic acid — that restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. They can be used to augment the cheeks, define the jawline, smooth nasolabial folds, and treat under-eye hollows. Results are immediate and can last between 9 and 18 months depending on the product and area treated.
Profhilo — The Injectable Skin Treatment
Profhilo is a unique injectable treatment that sits apart from traditional fillers. Rather than adding volume, it disperses through the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin quality, firmness, and radiance. It is administered via five injection points on each side of the face (the BAP technique) and requires just two sessions, four weeks apart.
Are Injectable Treatments Safe?
Injectable treatments are very safe when administered by qualified, experienced practitioners. At The London Aesthetic Clinic, all treatments are performed by medically trained professionals who follow strict safety protocols and use only CE-marked, clinically tested products.
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects — most commonly mild bruising, swelling, or redness at injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by a qualified practitioner.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do injectable treatments last in London?
The longevity of injectable treatments varies: anti-wrinkle injections last 3–4 months, dermal fillers 9–18 months, Profhilo 6–12 months, and skin boosters 6–9 months. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain results over time.
Are injectable treatments painful?
Most patients find injectable treatments comfortable. Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimise discomfort, and many injectable products also contain lidocaine (a local anaesthetic) to further reduce any sensation during the procedure.
How do I find a qualified injectable practitioner in London?
Always ensure your practitioner is a registered medical professional — a doctor, nurse, or dentist — with specific training in aesthetic medicine. Check their qualifications, read reviews, and ensure they offer a thorough consultation before any treatment.
