If you have started researching anti-wrinkle injections in London, you have probably noticed that quotes vary enormously — from around £100 to well over £500 for what sounds like the same treatment. That spread is confusing, and it makes it hard to know whether a cheap deal is a bargain or a red flag.
This guide explains what actually drives the price, what a fair range looks like in 2026, and the questions worth asking before you book.
The short answer: what you should expect to pay
In London, a single treatment area typically starts at around £120, with two areas around £160 and three areas around £200. Pricing is usually per area rather than per session, and the most commonly treated areas are the forehead, the frown lines between the brows, and the crow's feet around the eyes.
Treatments that use larger doses — such as jaw slimming for teeth grinding, calf reduction, or treatment for excess sweating — cost more because they require substantially more product. At My Timeless, these start from £269 for jaw slimming and from £399 for calf reduction or excess sweating treatment (as of October 2026), depending on the dose.
Why prices differ so much between clinics
Several legitimate factors move the price, and they are worth understanding before you compare clinics on cost alone.
Dose, not "areas"
Some clinics price per area and others price per unit of product. A £99 "one area" offer may involve a lower dose that wears off in six to eight weeks, while a higher quote may use a dose intended to last three to four months. Always ask how much product is being used.
Who performs the treatment
In the UK, non-surgical cosmetic procedures are largely unregulated, and injectables can legally be administered by non-medically trained practitioners. A doctor-led clinic carries different overheads and, more importantly, a different level of anatomical training and ability to manage complications. This is usually the single biggest difference between a cheap quote and a mid-range one.
Location
A clinic in the City or the West End pays substantially more in rent than one in Zone 4. Part of what you pay is convenience.
Product choice
Different licensed products have different costs, dosing and diffusion characteristics. Your clinician should be able to tell you what they are using and why.
How to judge whether a quote is realistic
Ask these four questions before booking anywhere:
- Who is injecting me? Ask for the practitioner's name and professional registration.
- How much product is included? Per-area pricing should come with a clear dose.
- Is a review appointment included? Good practice usually includes a two-week review.
- What happens if I am not suitable? A proper consultation should be able to say no.
The hidden cost of going too cheap
The most common reason patients seek corrective treatment elsewhere is not a bad product — it is a badly placed one. Correcting poorly placed filler or an uneven result is almost always more expensive than getting it right the first time, and dissolving and re-treating costs time as well as money.
What to do next
The most reliable way to get an accurate price is a consultation. At My Timeless in the City of London, Dr Vicky Bu assesses your facial anatomy and muscle movement before recommending a dose, and the fee is confirmed in writing before anything begins.
