Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Face Slimming
Non-surgical jaw reduction can be achieved using botulinum toxin. Injections into the jaw muscle (Massester muscle) to reduce the size of the muscle and thereby reducing the size of the jaw. This treatment can transform the jaw from a square shape to a more feminine ‘V’ shape. The injections do this by weakening the jaw muscle over time.
Not everyone is suitable for non-surgical jaw reduction and a Kingsbridge Consultant will evaluate patients before deciding to provide treatment. How suitable a patient is will depend on the size of their jaw muscle.
This is a relatively painless procedure with no downtime and little swelling or bruising. Depending on muscle size, patients may need up to 3 treatments to obtain maximum effect.
It can take up to 6 weeks for the effects of the procedure to become visible and results can last from 6 to 12 months.
Anti-wrinkle serum can be used to create a slimmer face.
Anti-wrinkle serum is injected to each side of the face into the masseter muscle. This weakens the muscle to create a slimmer more feminine appearance to the jawline.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Neck Banding
Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to soften neck banding, fine lines and wrinkles.
'Gummy Smile' Treatment
A gummy smile refers to a smile where an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth. This condition, also known as excessive gingival display, can occur due to various factors such as:
Causes of a Gummy Smile
Excessive gum tissue: Overgrowth of the gums covering the teeth.
Short teeth: Teeth that appear small due to being partially covered by the gums.
Hyperactive upper lip: An upper lip that raises higher than usual when smiling.
Treatment Options for a Gummy Smile
The choice of treatment depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition:
Anti-Wrinnkle Injections
Reduces the activity of the upper lip muscles, limiting how far it lifts when smiling.
Minimally invasive with temporary results (lasting 3–6 months).
Maxillofacial Surgery
For severe cases involving jaw structure (vertical maxillary excess), corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) can reposition the jaw to reduce gum display.
This is a more invasive and long-term solution.
A consultation is essential to determine the cause and the most appropriate treatment. Each option varies in invasiveness, cost, and recovery time, so the choice depends on individual needs and preferences.
Brotox For Men
Anti-wrinkle injections for men is referred to as Brotox this treatment softens frown lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, resulting in a fresher look.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections FAQs
Are there any side effects of anti-wrinkle serum?

Pain, swelling or bruising in the area where the anti-wrinkle serum was injected
Headache, tiredness or flu-like symptoms
Droopy eyelid or arched eyebrows
Crooked smile or drooling
Eye dryness or excessive tearing
Who performs the treatment?
Anti-wrinkle treatments should be administered by an experienced, highly trained practitioner, in a clean and hygienic medical environment. It’s important that injections be placed precisely in order to avoid side effects. Anti-wrinkle therapy can be risky if it’s administered incorrectly.

"I was in your facility yesterday for a day procedure (operation on my left arm). I wanted to write and express how impressed I was with the facilities and more importantly the staff on the Ward.
Everyone was excellent, and I mean excellent, i don't normally write congratulatory e-mails so this is high praise in my view. The Senior nurse was excellent, as was the Theatre nurse and the anaesthetist. Even the assistants that helped with catering and other duties. All came together to form a great impression of the establishment."
Jason Carpal Tunnel Surgery, Kingsbridge Patient
"I am extremely happy with the treatment, and with the standard of care I have received. There is no doubt as to whether this treatment is highly effective. I have had several cosmetic surgeries (although not on my face) but can say in comparing the results of the Spring Thread procedure with other less invasive treatments, the results are more in keeping with the surgical procedures I have had."
Spring Thread Patient Review, Kinsgbridge Cosmetic Surgery Clinic Patient
"I had surgery here at the weekend and I can't recommend this place highly enough. They took great care of me and kept me at ease throughout my stay. The staff were brilliant, really friendly and chatted away and the food was top class. This hospital was better than any hotel I wonder could I book a weekend away in it when I fully recover?"
Mr McGinnity, Kingsbridge Patient
"EXCELLENT - Had surgery today under the very caring Dr Stewart and her team. I cannot thank her enough for all she’s done for me over the past few months. Everything was explained to me in detail and all my care was considerate, professional and compassionate. Everyone I’ve met today has been beyond kind from Will the Anaesthetist, the Nurses and theatre staff, the catering staff - there has been no exception. Thank you all for taking care of me so well today - look forward to getting home tomorrow x"
Mrs McAleavey, Kingsbridge Patient

"My mother had a total hip replacement surgery. We stayed for three days and were discharged today. Honestly, words can't describe the quality of the job and care they do. The doctors Roger Wilson, Sherman, David, the nurses Susan, Sinead, Siobhan, Andrea, the catering staff who provided customised halal food, and the remaining team whose names I cannot remember were the kindest, nicest, politest, the most caring, professional and pleasant people we have ever come across in healthcare environment. These are true gems and real stars. We are indebted to their treatment.
They are 7 star people. We love you!"

I arrived at 8.35am, taken to the ward at 8.45am (my admission time was 9am). Tended to by a lovely Nurse. Dr Roger Wilson spoke to me around 9.45am, in Theatre for 10am, recovery for 11.10am and now currently back on ward. These guys are awesome. From the consultant to anaesthetist to nurses to cater assistants. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much. I am so grateful to everyone at Kingsbridge for the service."
Mr McNicholl, Kingsbridge Patient
"I just had a total hip replacement done by Mr Molloy. He made me feel totally at ease (a real gentleman). I had 1st class treatment and as for the staff they couldn’t do enough for me. My experience was excellent from the time I arrived until the day I left for home. Thanks a million to all involved."
Miss Bennett, Kingsbridge Patient
"Excellent experience with Kingsbridge Hospital, my dad had a day procedure here recently and not only did he receive fantastic care, but so did myself and my mum. The staff were so understanding and without saying anything could see I was looking after my mum also who has dementia, they went above and beyond to make the time spent waiting on my Dad as pleasant and stress free as possible, I will never forget the extra mile they went to, to support us. Many thanks x"
Ms Forde, Kingsbridge Patient
"I have just been discharged from Kingsbridge today after surgery and was in for 3 days. From start to finish my experience was excellent. From catering staff up to senior nurses and doctors they were all fantastic and made my stay a positive experience. As a nurse myself I probably have high expectations of care and I certainly experienced the best of care in Kingsbridge who have staff they should be proud off. Great teamwork."

Mr Sharkey, Kingsbridge Patient
"Can’t praise Kingsbridge Private Hospital enough!! I had an operation a couple of weeks ago and I was so well looked after. My surgeon Mr Rashid was fantastic, and the nursing staff was also fabulous. I found they communicated very well to each other, so everyone knew when my meds were due, my allergies etc. They were so kind, so lovely, constantly checked to see how I was i.e. my temperature etc. The food was fabulous and the catering staff very helpful having had an operation were very happy to accommodate ... Thank you to all!"
