As we get older our skin starts to show signs of ageing. This is an inevitable part of life; however, it can knock your confidence when you start to notice lines around your eyes and mouth. These wrinkles are a side-effect of your skin losing collagen and elastin, components in the chemical make-up of your skin responsible for its volume and elasticity. Among the various options available, anti-wrinkle injections have gained immense popularity for their ability to address signs of ageing and promote a smoother, more rejuvenated complexion.
Our clinicians at our practice in Sale have a range of facial aesthetic treatments that can help combat these wrinkles. Whether you wish to smooth away noticeable lines that appear when you laugh, frown, or smile, or those fine lines that are always on view, we can offer treatments that will help.

Anti-wrinkle treatment
Anti-wrinkle treatment can provide a quick, simple, and safe way to restore a more youthful appearance and boost your confidence. It is highly effective when used on areas of the face including the forehead, crow’s feet, around the mouth, frown lines between the eyebrows, and more.
Dynamic wrinkles occur because of repetitive muscle motions, for example, when we laugh, smile, squint, or smoke. Anti-wrinkle injections are administered into the muscles surrounding the line or wrinkle, relaxing them, and so reducing the appearance of the lines.
Dermal fillers
Using dermal fillers, we can replenish lost volume and smoothen noticeable lines. Fillers work by stimulating cellular reproduction and giving skin a new lease of life.
Reducing fine lines and wrinkles:
Anti-wrinkle injections, or muscle relaxants, work by temporarily paralysing the muscles responsible for forming wrinkles. This process helps smooth out existing fine lines and prevents the formation of new ones, particularly in areas prone to expression lines, such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
Non-invasive and minimal downtime:
Unlike surgical procedures, anti-wrinkle injections are non-invasive, requiring no incisions or sutures. This makes them an attractive option for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation without the need for an extensive recovery period. Patients can resume their daily activities almost immediately after the treatment.
Natural-looking results:
One of the key advantages of anti-wrinkle injections is their ability to deliver natural-looking results. Our skilled practitioners can precisely target specific muscles, ensuring that facial expressions remain authentic while minimising the appearance of wrinkles. This subtlety is often preferred by those who wish to maintain a youthful look without an overly “frozen” appearance.
Preventive measures:
Anti-wrinkle injections can also serve as a preventive measure against the formation of deep-set wrinkles. By addressing fine lines early on, individuals can slow down the ageing process and maintain a more youthful complexion over time.
Boosted confidence and well-being:
Achieving a more youthful and refreshed appearance can have a positive impact on an individual’s self-esteem and confidence. Feeling good about one’s physical appearance often translates to improved overall psychological well-being, enhancing both personal and professional aspects of life.
Versatility in treatment areas:
Anti-wrinkle injections are versatile and can be applied to various facial areas, addressing specific concerns tailored to each individual. Whether targeting forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines, the injections offer a customisable approach to facial aesthetics.
Many people would assume that these types of treatments belong in a beautician’s studio and not a dental practice. Our clinicians are experts in the facial anatomy, not just teeth and gums. We have high standards of care and have carried out extensive training in the field to make sure that any clinicians offering services are fully qualified to do so.

Botox stops the nerve endings from sending messages to the sweat glands and temporarily reduces the sweating. Botox is also commonly used to treat wrinkles by relaxing certain muscles of the face.

Your anti-wrinkle treatment results are not permanent and will need to be topped up if you want your new rejuvenated look to be maintained. On average, most people will need a top-up treatment every 4 months, although it is often noted that the effects can last longer following multiple treatments.
