What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections use botulinum toxin (Botox is one brand) to relax the muscles that cause lines, such as frown lines and crow's feet. Results usually last a few months. Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine.

"From" and guide prices as published by each provider, checked October 2026. Your final price depends on your surgeon, the technique, the hospital and what's included, so always ask for a written, all-inclusive quote.

What affects the price?

  • The practitioner: treatment by a doctor, dentist or nurse prescriber usually costs more than at a beauty salon, but you get a qualified prescriber who can manage complications.
  • The product and amount: different brands, and how many areas or millilitres are treated.
  • Location: London clinics tend to charge more.
  • Top-ups and reviews: check whether a follow-up appointment is included.

Will the NHS or health insurance pay?

No. The NHS doesn't provide cosmetic injectables, and private medical insurance doesn't cover cosmetic treatments.

Choosing a practitioner safely

  • Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine, so you should have a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber first.
  • The NHS suggests checking that your practitioner is on an accredited register such as the JCCP or Save Face.
  • In England it's illegal to give Botox or fillers for cosmetic reasons to anyone under 18 (Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021).
  • Don't pay before your consultation, and be wary of time-limited deals or pressure to book immediately.
