Anti-Wrinkle Injections in Lisbon

Forehead, Crow's Feet and Expression Lines

What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most effective aesthetic medicine treatments for smoothing wrinkles and expression lines. The active ingredient is botulinum toxin – the substance recognised internationally as the gold-standard treatment for dynamic expression lines, widely used in aesthetic medicine clinics around the world.

Botulinum toxin works at the muscular level: it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles to contract. The result is smoother, more rested-looking skin, without losing natural expressiveness.

There is no set age to begin treatment. Anti-wrinkle injections are suitable both for those who want to prevent expression lines from deepening, and for those who want to soften existing wrinkles. The doctor assesses each case individually and defines the most appropriate protocol.

When is it recommended?

  • To prevent the formation or deepening of expression lines from an earlier age
  • To smooth existing wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes
  • As a complement to hyaluronic acid filler for a more complete facial rejuvenation

The treatment step by step

Step 1 – Evaluation

Book your evaluation consultation. The doctor assesses your face, identifies areas of muscular tension, and defines a personalised treatment plan.

Step 2 – First consultation at the clinic

During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss the treatment, the results you want to achieve, and ask any questions with our specialist doctor.

Step 3 – Treatment

The session begins with cleansing and disinfecting the skin. Botulinum toxin is then applied in small doses using a very fine needle, with minimal discomfort. Injections are placed at precise intervals across the treatment area, according to the pre-defined plan. Each session takes approximately 30 minutes.

Step 4 – Post-treatment and results

Initial results become visible between 2 and 5 days after treatment. The full effect is reached at around two weeks, when wrinkles and expression lines are visibly softened and the skin takes on a fresher, more youthful appearance. A touch-up can be performed between 10 and 21 days if needed. Maintenance is recommended every 4 to 6 months.

Note: side effects are generally mild and temporary, typically resolving within 48 hours. See the FAQ section below for more detail.

Which areas can be treated?

Anti-wrinkle injections are primarily used on the upper third of the face, where expression muscles are most active. The most commonly treated areas are:

  • Forehead – softening of horizontal lines
  • Glabella (between the brows) – smoothing of vertical frown lines
  • Crow’s feet (around the eyes) – reduction of lines at the outer corners of the eyes

Treatment is also possible in other areas of the face and neck:

  • Eyebrows – subtle lifting effect for a more open, alert look
  • Chin – smoothing of chin dimpling and irregular texture
  • Neck and decolletage – softening of vertical neck bands
  • Gummy smile – correction of excessive gum visibility when smiling
  • Masseter and bruxism – relaxation of the jaw muscle to treat teeth grinding and refine the facial contour

Desde o começo, fui super bem atendida pela equipe, que é muito atenciosa e cuida de cada detalhe para que a gente se sinta confortável e bem acolhida. Fiz o microagulhamento com a profissional Elis, e só tenho elogios! Ela é super competente, explica tudo direitinho e faz o procedimento com muito cuidado. A sessão foi bem mais tranquila do que eu esperava, e o resultado ficou incrível. Recomendo demais a clínica para quem busca um tratamento de qualidade com profissionais que realmente se importam com o bem-estar do cliente!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do anti-wrinkle injection results last?

Results typically last between 4 and 6 months. Lifestyle, skincare habits and the area treated all affect how long the effect lasts. A maintenance session within this window keeps results consistent over time.

What is the active ingredient in anti-wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections use botulinum toxin as the active ingredient – the internationally recognised gold-standard treatment for dynamic expression wrinkles. At Michelle Bond Clinic in Lisbon, botulinum toxin is administered by a specialist doctor with a personalised protocol for each area and goal.


Is any preparation needed before the treatment?

Yes. Certain cosmetic products and some supplements or medications are contraindicated before the procedure, as they may increase the risk of bruising. During your initial evaluation, the doctor will review your medical history and skincare routine to ensure there are no contraindications.

What aftercare is needed following treatment?

Some mild swelling or sensitivity around the injection sites is normal and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. We recommend avoiding intense sun exposure, applying SPF daily, and avoiding strenuous exercise on the day of treatment. Normal activities can be resumed the following day.

What are the contraindications?

Treatment is contraindicated for people with allergies to the formula components, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and people with neuromuscular conditions. The doctor will always review your medical history during the evaluation consultation before proceeding.

Are anti-wrinkle injections and hyaluronic acid filler the same thing?

No – they are different treatments with complementary benefits. Anti-wrinkle injections work at the muscular level, relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic expression wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid filler works at the skin level, restoring lost volume and softening deeper folds. Combining both treatments in the same session is common and produces the most complete results.

Can I have both treatments on the same day?

Yes. Anti-wrinkle injections and hyaluronic acid filler are often performed together in a single session. Combining the two is what delivers the most comprehensive facial rejuvenation results.

Can masseter injections treat teeth grinding (bruxism)?

Yes. Botulinum toxin injected into the masseter muscle is used both to treat bruxism (teeth grinding and jaw clenching) and for a facial contouring effect that slims the jawline. The treatment reduces overactivity in the muscle, relieving tension and protecting the teeth. The cost is 420€.
