Consultation for Lines & Wrinkles

Book in for a personalised consultation where we will examine your facial muscles and skin concerns to recommend the most suitable options.

Anti-Wrinkle treatments are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that has transformed the aesthetics industry. It’s a popular choice among both men and women who want to soften the visible signs of ageing and restore a refreshed appearance. The procedure works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, which helps smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and creases. In Altrincham, this safe and effective option is available with minimal downtime, so you can quickly return to your daily routine with confidence.

Benefits of Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

  • REDUCTION OF FINE LINES AND WRINKLES
    Relax the underlying muscles responsible for expression lines, smoothing out areas such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
  • NON-SURGICAL AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE
    The procedure involves quick injections with minimal discomfort, no incisions, and little to no downtime, making it a popular alternative to surgery.
  • PREVENTATIVE EFFECTS
    Regular treatments can help prevent new wrinkles from forming or deepening by limiting repetitive muscle contractions that contribute to skin creasing over time.

What to Avoid

Alcohol for 24-48 hours.
Strenuous exercise, saunas, or steam rooms for 24-48 hours, as sweating increases bruising risk.

FAQs

For more general enquiries, please take a look at some of our frequently asked questions.

How long do Anti-Wrinkle Treatments usually take?

Anti-wrinkle treatments in Hale are very quick and usually take about 30 minutes depending on how many areas being treated.

What are Anti-Wrinkle injections used for?

Anti-wrinkle treatments are used predominantly to relax wrinkles associated with ageing in the face. Common areas include the forehead, frown lines and crows feet (lines around they eyes).

Anti-wrinkle treatments in Hale can also be used to relax a gummy smile, treat bunny lines on the nose, treat chin dimpling, help relax a downturned smile and provide an eyebrow lift.

Further indications include relaxing the strap muscles on the front of the neck, treating teeth grinding and a thickened jaw as well as reducing the symptoms of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

How should I prepare for treatment?

Please come to the clinic without make-up as this will have to be removed.

Avoid the use of skincare active ingredients on the day and stop any retinol-containing products 24 hours before-hand.

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to treatment.

What does Anti-Wrinkle treatment involve?

Anti-wrinkle treatment at our clinic in Hale involves several small, relatively painless injections in the face using very slim needles.

The face will be cleaned before-hand with antiseptic and aftercare will be applied once treatment is completed.

Note that prior to treatment a personalised consultation and full assessment of the face is necessary to assess the best approach.

How long do Anti-Wrinkle treatments last for?

Anti-Wrinkle treatments usually last approximately 3-4 months.

Lifestyle factors such as physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, recreational drug use and sun exposure will result in a shorter duration of action.

When will I see results?

Not immediately!

Anti-wrinkle treatment results usually start to become apparent after 2-3 days.

Peak effect is usually at 2 weeks and at this point a complementary top-up will be offered to correct any asymmetry or increase the dose as required.

What happens after treatment?

There are very few side-effects or complications following anti-wrinkle treatment.

Mild swelling is usually very brief and small bruises may occasionally occur.

How much does treatment cost?

Treatments start at £200 for one area.

Does Anti-Wrinkle treatment hurt?

Anti-wrinkle treatments use very slim needles and treatment is usually painless.

Are Anti-Wrinkle treatments suitable for men?

Absolutely! ‘Brotox’ (as you may have heard) is increasing in popularity. Book a consultation to see what other treatments may be suitable.

Are Anti-Wrinkle treatments safe?

Patient safety is my number one priority when treating.

Anti-Wrinkle treatments are well-studied, safe and has a very low risk of complications and side effects when administered by a trained medical professional.

The NHS website is a fantastic resource regarding the safety of cosmetic procedures including Anti-Wrinkle treatments.

Treatments are not suitable for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, allergic to botulinum toxin, taking certain antibiotics or who have certain neurological disorders such as myasthenia gravis.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are a rare (but not impossible) result of treatment. As a trained medical professional, I am well positioned to minimise these risks.

Side-effects include:

  • Headaches and flu-like symptoms
  • Droopy eyelids
  • Pain, swelling and potential bruising to the area of the injection
  • Crooked eyebrows
  • Excessive tearing
  • Drooling
