What to Expect from Your Visit at Hazel Clinic for Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)
In a world full of cosmetic options, it can be hard to know where to begin — especially when it comes to something as personal as your face. At Hazel Clinic in Blackrock, Dublin, we offer anti-wrinkle injections using botulinum toxin with a clinical, subtle, and deeply personalised approach.
Whether you’re coming in to ease forehead lines, address jaw clenching, reduce underarm sweating, or simply refresh your look — your first visit at Hazel Clinic is the beginning of a journey toward natural, elegant results.
Let’s walk you through exactly what you can expect.
A Doctor-Led, Patient-Centred Experience
From the moment you step into Hazel Clinic, the focus is entirely on you — your skin, your expressions, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Our anti-wrinkle treatments are always administered by Dr. Susana Fontana, a qualified GP with extensive training in Aesthetic Medicine.
We don’t do “cookie-cutter” injections. Instead, we believe in a refined, tailored approach that enhances what’s already there — softening harsh lines while keeping your expressions alive.
Your Consultation: The Art of Listening & Assessing
Before any treatment begins, your visit starts with a one-on-one consultation and muscle assessment. This is not a rushed appointment. Dr. Fontana will:
Examine how your facial muscles move at rest and in expression
Discuss your areas of concern (e.g. frown lines, tired eyes, clenching jaw)
Review your medical history, lifestyle, and goals
Explain treatment options and alternatives
Whether you’re here for your first-ever aesthetic treatment or a refined touch-up, your treatment plan will be designed with your facial harmony and safety in mind.
The Treatment: Subtle, Precise & Quick
Once your plan is in place, we proceed with ultra-precise injections using a very fine needle.
Each target muscle is selected based on how it contributes to facial lines or tension.
Common treatment areas include:
Forehead lines
Frown lines (glabella)
Crow’s feet
Bunny lines
Gummy smile or lip flip
Masseter muscles (for teeth grinding, facial slimming)
Neck bands
Underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Treatment time: Approx. 35 minutes · Anaesthetic: Optional numbing cream · Discomfort level: Mild
Dr. Fontana’s technique prioritises micro-dosing and precise placement, ensuring that you maintain full facial expression while achieving a rested, youthful glow.
Downtime & Recovery
One of the best things about anti-wrinkle injections is how little they interrupt your day.
You may experience tiny bumps at the injection site — these usually resolve within 15–20 minutes.
You can:
· Return to work right away · Wear light makeup after a few hours · Exercise again after 24 hours
This is the perfect lunchtime treatment — quick, subtle, effective.
When Will I See Results?
Initial results usually begin to appear after 5–7 days, with full results visible at 2 weeks.
You’ll notice a smoother, more relaxed appearance — not “frozen,” just refreshed.
At Hazel Clinic, we offer a complimentary review after two weeks to ensure results are optimal and, if needed, make any minor adjustments.
How Long Do Results Last?
Typically, anti-wrinkle injections last 3–4 months.
If you exercise intensely or have a high metabolism, you may notice a shorter duration.
We recommend scheduling maintenance treatments every 12 Weeks to:
Preserve results
Prevent deeper static lines
Maintain muscle re-education over time
Suitability & Safety
At Hazel Clinic, your safety comes first. Anti-wrinkle injections may not be suitable if you:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have an active infection (systemic or at the injection site)
Are unwell on the day of treatment (e.g., cold, flu, virus)
Have certain neuromuscular, autoimmune or allergic conditions
We always encourage patients to be well and rested before receiving injectable treatments. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to advise.
Bonus: It’s Not Just for Wrinkles
While the name suggests it, anti-wrinkle injections do far more than soften expression lines. At Hazel Clinic, we often use botulinum toxin to:
Relieve jaw tension and facial pain caused by clenching
Slim the lower face by treating the masseter muscles
Reduce excessive sweating (especially in the underarms)
Balance facial features and elevate mood through subtle lifting
Why Hazel Clinic?

At Hazel Clinic, we treat every patient with medical precision and aesthetic artistry — combining evidence-based techniques with a sincere understanding of how beauty feels, not just how it looks.
