Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Near Solihull

Honest assessment, prescription-only treatments, no same-day decisions.

CQC-Registered, Nurse-Led Clinic

If you are considering anti-wrinkle treatment near Solihull and would feel safer and more comfortable being assessed and treated by a registered nurse in a CQC-registered clinical setting - with a full consultation before any decision is made - DG Medical Aesthetics is one of a very small number of clinics in the West Midlands that meets that standard. We are based in Yardley, Birmingham, approximately 15 to 20 minutes from Solihull town centre via the A45 Coventry Road.

Our clinic is led by Donna Gibson, an Independent Nurse Prescriber, and Kerry Gibson-Harris, a registered nurse and advanced aesthetics practitioner - together with over 25 years of combined NHS and aesthetic clinical experience. We do not carry out prescription treatments at a patient's first visit. Every patient receives a thorough consultation before any clinical recommendation is made.

DG Aesthetics Clinical Environment

The Areas We Assess and Treat

Forehead Lines

Horizontal Lines

Horizontal forehead lines form from the repeated contraction of the frontalis muscle during expressions such as raising the eyebrows. Over time, these lines can become visible at rest. Anti-wrinkle treatment placed carefully into the frontalis reduces muscle activity, softening forehead lines both during expression and at rest.

Best For

Horizontal lines that form when raising eyebrows.

Downtime

Minimal.

Sensation

Minimal discomfort.

Dosing is conservative to avoid brow heaviness.

Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)

The 11 Lines

The vertical lines that form between the eyebrows result from repeated contraction of the corrugator and procerus muscles. Anti-wrinkle treatment to the glabellar complex relaxes the muscles responsible for the frown movement, allowing the overlying skin to smooth and the resting expression to soften.

Best For

Deeply etched lines between the eyebrows.

Downtime

Minimal.

Sensation

Minimal discomfort.

One of the most consistently effective applications.

Crow's Feet

Eye Area Lines

The fine lines that fan outward from the outer corners of the eyes are caused by the orbicularis oculi muscle contracting during smiling and squinting. Anti-wrinkle treatment to the crow's feet area softens these lines during expression and, over time, reduces their depth at rest.

Best For

Fine lines around the eyes.

Downtime

Minimal.

Sensation

Minimal discomfort.

Carefully balanced with the overall appearance of the eye area.

Brow Lifting

Subtle Elevation

A carefully placed, small amount of injectable prescription treatment beneath the tail of the eyebrow can produce a subtle and natural-looking lift to the lateral brow - opening the eye area and reducing the appearance of hooding at the outer corner.

Best For

Opening the eye area and reducing hooding.

Downtime

Minimal.

Sensation

Minimal discomfort.

Requires precise understanding of muscle groups; not appropriate for all patients.

Bunny Lines

Nose Lines

The diagonal lines that appear across the upper nose during strong facial expressions are caused by the nasalis muscle. Treatment here is straightforward and frequently performed as an adjunct to glabellar treatment.

Best For

Diagonal lines across the upper nose.

Downtime

Minimal.

Sensation

Minimal discomfort.

Often combined with frown line treatment.

Jaw Slimming & Teeth Grinding

Masseter Treatment

Injectable prescription treatment placed into the masseter temporarily reduces its activity. This can produce a gradual slimming of the lower face over 6 to 8 weeks as the muscle reduces in volume, as well as meaningful relief from the symptoms of bruxism.

Best For

Enlarged masseters and bruxism (teeth grinding).

Downtime

Minimal.

Sensation

Minimal discomfort.

Assessed on the basis of muscle size, jaw anatomy, and symptoms.

Neck Bands

Platysmal Bands

Visible vertical bands in the neck - caused by the platysma muscle pulling downward with age and loss of skin elasticity - can be softened with carefully placed injectable prescription treatment.

Best For

Vertical bands in the neck.

Downtime

Minimal.

Sensation

Minimal discomfort.

An advanced technique assessed individually at consultation.

Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Dealing with excessive sweating can feel like an uphill battle against your own biology. We provide a professional and medically backed approach using Botulinum toxin A to help you regain control and feel comfortable in your own skin.

Best For

Underarms (Axillary), Palms (Palmar), and Soles of the Feet (Plantar).

Downtime

Minimal.

Sensation

Minimal discomfort.

Results generally last between four and eight months.

What Is Anti-Wrinkle Treatment?

Prescription-only medicine administered by qualified clinicians.

How It Works

Anti-wrinkle treatment using prescription injectable medicine is one of the most frequently performed procedures in medical aesthetics globally. When administered correctly by a qualified prescribing clinician, it works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating dynamic facial lines - the lines that form during expression, such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows.

How It Works

A Medical Procedure

The treatments used in this category are prescription-only medicines. This is not a cosmetic or beautician-administered procedure. In the United Kingdom, prescription injectable anti-wrinkle treatments can only be legally prescribed by a qualified independent prescriber - such as a nurse prescriber, doctor, or dentist - following a face-to-face clinical assessment. They cannot legally be prescribed remotely, online, or by a non-prescribing practitioner.

Managing Excessive Sweating: A Modern Solution for Confidence

Dealing with excessive sweating can feel like an uphill battle against your own biology. At our clinic, we provide a professional and medically backed approach to help you regain control and feel comfortable in your own skin.

Expert Care You Can Trust

Choosing a provider for medical aesthetics is a significant decision. We are a CQC registered clinic led entirely by registered nurses. This means our practice adheres to the highest standards of safety, hygiene, and clinical excellence. You can rest assured that your treatment is being delivered by qualified professionals in a regulated environment.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for sweating that exceeds what is physically necessary to regulate body temperature. While sweating is a vital function for cooling the body, those with this condition have overactive sweat glands.

The mechanism involves the sympathetic nervous system sending excessive signals to the eccrine glands. Essentially, the "on switch" for sweating becomes stuck, leading to moisture even when you are cool, calm, or resting.

Common Areas of Concern

Hyperhidrosis can affect various parts of the body, though it is most commonly treated in the following areas:

  • Underarms (Axillary): The most frequent site for treatment to prevent visible dampness on clothing.
  • Palms (Palmar): Often sought by those who find damp hands affect their professional or social interactions.
  • Soles of the Feet (Plantar): To manage discomfort and improve foot hygiene.

Why Choose Hyperhidrosis Treatment?

Living with excessive sweat is often less about the moisture itself and more about the impact it has on your lifestyle. Our clients choose this treatment for a variety of reasons:

  • Special Events: Whether it is your wedding day or a major keynote speech, nobody wants to worry about perspiration ruining a tuxedo or a silk dress.
  • Warmer Weather: Summer should be enjoyed, not spent worrying about heatwaves and hydration marks.
  • Clothing Longevity: Constant sweating can cause stubborn stains and damage delicate fabrics. Treatment helps keep your wardrobe looking pristine for longer.
  • Social Confidence: Removing the constant "check" for sweat patches allows you to focus on the moment, whether that is a first date or a high-pressure interview.

Our Treatment Approach

We use Botulinum toxin A to effectively manage hyperhidrosis. This well-established treatment works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the glands do not receive these signals, the sweating stops in the treated area.

The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and requires no significant downtime. It is a highly targeted way to dry up the problem without affecting the rest of your body's natural cooling functions.

Results and Effectiveness

One of the reasons this treatment is so popular is its reliability. While every individual is different, most clients begin to notice a significant reduction in moisture within a few days of the procedure.

How long does it last? Generally, the effects of Botulinum toxin A for hyperhidrosis last between four and eight months. Many of our clients find that booking two treatments a year is enough to keep them feeling dry and confident year-round.
