Anti-wrinkle Treatment in Manchester
Wrinkles and lines are two of the most physical giveaways of ageing. With Anti-Wrinkle Injections, it’s possible to soften these common signs of ageing, without the need for any invasive process, recovery time, or risk of unpredictable outcomes. Our Clinical Facial Aesthetics Lead, Dr Susan McBride, has performed Anti-Wrinkle treatment for thousands of patients in the area and has an excellent reputation for delivering natural results that accentuate your skin’s natural beauty.
Turn back the clock on wrinkles and lines.
Anti-Wrinkle injections work by gently relaxing overactive facial muscles, reducing the repetitive movements that contribute to wrinkle formation, particularly around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. But its benefits go beyond immediate smoothing. By preventing the deepening of expression lines, Anti-Wrinkle injections reduce ongoing strain on your skin’s collagen network.
This creates a synergistic effect: while Anti-Wrinkle injections limit the breakdown of collagen caused by constant motion, your skin has a greater opportunity to retain and rebuild structural support, keeping it firmer and more youthful over time.
In addition to wrinkle prevention, Anti-Wrinkle injections have been shown to offer subtle yet powerful secondary benefits. With consistent use, Anti-Wrinkle injections can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores by relaxing the surrounding tension in the skin and promoting a smoother surface. Patients can also experience an improvement in overall skin texture and complexion.
When used proactively, Anti-Wrinkle injections can delay the need for more invasive procedures later in life, making them suitable for both immediate enhancement and long-term skin health. As a dental practice that understands the harmony of facial aesthetics, we’re uniquely positioned to offer holistic care that enhances both your smile and the skin that frames it.

FAQs
What age is best to start Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
There’s no “one-size-fits-all” age to begin Anti-Wrinkle injections. It depends on factors such as your facial muscle activity, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. However, many people choose to start preventative treatments in their late 20s to early 30s, when fine lines first begin to appear with facial expressions. This is also the time when collagen begins to decline at a rate of approximately 1% per year. As collagen levels decline, the skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and more prone to wrinkles and sagging. Anti-Wrinkle injections help protect the skin’s structure by limiting the micro-damage caused by frequent muscle movement, helping to extend the life of your skin’s natural collagen.
With this in mind, starting early can help maintain smooth skin longer and delay the formation of deeper wrinkles.
How long do Anti-Wrinkle Injections last for?
The results of Anti-Wrinkle treatment typically last for 3 to 4 months. Regular administration is required to maintain the results. The body naturally and safely breaks down the neuromodulating substance within the injectables over a 3- to 4-month period.
Can Anti-Wrinkle injections still work if I already have deep wrinkles?
Yes. Anti-Wrinkle injections are effective at softening the appearance of deeper lines, particularly on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the brows.
Whilst they cannot fully erase established wrinkles, they can dramatically reduce their visibility by relaxing the muscles underneath and preventing further deepening. In many cases, combining Anti-Wrinkle treatment with dermal fillers or resurfacing skin booster injections offers even more noticeable rejuvenation.
Dr Susan will discuss these options with you during your consultation and give you more information on their efficacy.
