When a low price is a warning

What is the cost of anti-wrinkle injections in the UK?

We do not publish prices for anti-wrinkle injections. The treatment is delivered using a prescription-only medicine, and UK rules do not allow prescription-only medicines to be advertised to the public — a price list is advertising. This page explains what changes the cost, what a quote should cover, and what to ask.

Why can I not find a price for anti-wrinkle injections online?

Because publishing one to the public would be advertising a prescription-only medicine, which UK rules do not permit. A clinic can discuss cost with you at a consultation. A clinic that advertises a price or a promotion for it publicly is breaking the same rules.

What should a quote cover?

Usually quoted per treatment area — ask what a consultation costs and whether it is redeemable. A quote should also cover the prescriber's assessment, a review appointment, and a plan for what happens if you react.
