Service Essentials
Anti-wrinkle injections are used to prevent your facial muscles from over working and causing furrows.
The treatment temporarily stops your muscles from working at full strength, which reduces fine lines of the forehead, brow and around the eyes. The result is a less stressed overall appearance. You look less tired and sharper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do many men get anti-wrinkle injections?
Yes, and the number is increasing every single year. Nearly 1 in 8 patients at Amara are men. The reason is simple - when done correctly, this treatment works. It's a powerful and popular treatment because of the results. People look and feel better with a good anti-wrinkle treatment.
Are men treated in the same way as women?
There are a couple of minor differences. Men usually require slightly higher dosing because their muscles are stronger. Men and women often also have different ideas about what is most concerning to them. All of this is taken into consideration by our doctors when they perform your treatment.
Does the procedure hurt?
No. The needles we use are exceptionally sharp and thin, so a small scratch is all that is felt.
How long does the procedure take?
One of the best things about anti-wrinkle injections is the ease and speed of treatment. A consultation, assessment and treatment usually takes 20mins.
How long before I will see results?
You will feel the product starting to work in 2-3 days. You'll notice an effect in 4-5 days and at 2 weeks, you'll have 90% of the effect, which maximises at four weeks before slowly tailing off over the next 8-12 weeks.
Will people know I've had anti-wrinkle injections?
They shouldn't - that's our whole philosophy. Subtle, natural results that freshen your appearance and make you look and feel better.
I had my fourth and last Exion treatment with Amara on Wednesday this week - the first three were... taken care of by Roisin, who was brilliant and gentle, and also always receptive to feedback and helpful with any concerns I had later. All the ladies in the clinic have always been warm and welcoming too. I was happy with the quality of the treatment and was looking forward to leaving a five-star review, but unfortunately feel compelled to take a star off because of how a genuine concern from my end was dealt with after my last treatment.Julie was assigned to administer my last treatment and on account of having had bruises on my skin after, I texted the clinic with my concerns and relevant photos (like I always did before, if there were any). Having been used to polite communication from Amara, it was a shock to receive a phone call from Julie where she was blatantly condescending. I don't take her tone and words personally because it was clear that she took my concern personally, which isn't on me. A basic customer concern had turned into her telling me that everything had already been outlined for me, I'd have to just be patient until my skin recovered and she has already told me all she could, assuming and claiming that I was unhappy because I had been used to a different aesthetician until then and most shocking of all -- how senior she is at the salon. She also went to the extent of asking me whether I had understood what she had said - I do not take that attitude from anyone, let alone someone I have paid to administer a service. She was so insistent on proving that she wasn't in the wrong that I wasn't even given a fair chance to speak - just had a load of her own assumptions thrown at me. When I highlighted this to her, she said that she called as soon as she saw my text and was trying to help by discussing my moisturising routine (which I have been aware of ever since I started getting the treatment). She also went on to tell me that she had discussed a product with me when I was in that I should really have been using since the beginning - because apparently my skin tone is more prone to hyperpigmentation post treatment - and also blamed my skin's reaction on me having had itchy eyes by saying it was because I had "hay fever" (which I never did) and high cortisol/stress levels. By the end, I felt like I was having to reassure her rather than her reassuring me. Phew.It was an exhausting conversation to have as a customer already stressed about my skin. She offered to have me go in to the clinic and put me under the lights to calm any redness if, in her words, "it would give me any peace of mind", but she kept denying the fact that it could be bruising (it most certainly is - I am not a professional aesthetician but I do know my skin better than anyone else), and also apologised "if" I felt a certain way. This whole interaction has quite obviously deterred me from returning. This is a shame, and irrespective, I maintain my stance - as already highlighted to the staff at the clinic - that my skin hasn't had this strong a reaction to the same treatment before.I think it's basic customer care etiquette to be receptive to feedback, and this was certainly not in line with the decorum and maturity expected of a staff member who claims to be so senior. Seniority also means nothing to me as I would be happier receiving better service and more respectful communication from someone who was newer. It was very disappointing that she had made it all about her, when none of it was. It's a pity that my last interaction with the clinic has left me with such a bitter taste in my mouth.read more
From the amazing reception to leaving the clinic, this was a 100% enjoyable experience. Kelly and... Barbara on the reception are just pure joy, friendly, professional,and beyond welcoming. I had booked a hydra facial with Julie (more on that later) and a consultation with Dr Paul to discuss what I would like to have done.I was nervous and not sure what I would like to have done, also very nervous of been talked into treatment that I was not sure about. After a great informative chat with Dr Paul, I decided on profhilo as I was too nervous to go for Botox. I really respect that there was no pressure or hard sell. Just lots of good advice.Three months now and I am really happy with the profhilo, it has definitely moisturised my skin and evened out my skin tone.Hydra facial with Julie. This is one of my favourite treatments, the finish result is amazing skin, glowing clear complexion. Julie is a skin specialist, who educates you while working away with little gems of knowledge.I love going to the clinic not just for the facial, she is just the loveliest therapist and love the chats.Sorry for the long winded review, but I am so glad I came to the Amara clinic the whole team are simply amazing. So glad I found this place and very happy with the big improvement in my skin.Thank youLouise McCaberead more
