How can Anti-Wrinkle Injections help me?

 

Concerned about fine lines and wrinkles, but unsure if Thriyv’s Anti-Wrinkle Injections and treatments are right for you? Check out some of the common concerns our clients have chosen to go ahead with a course of Anti-Wrinkle Injections:

My face looks tired or tense – even when I’m relaxed” – This is quite common, and some of our clients have told us they end up getting asked if they are stressed or upset, when they aren’t. Subtle muscle tension, especially across the brow, can create a look that doesn’t match how you actually feel, and Anti-Wrinkle Injections can help soften that expression.

I’ve started noticing lines that stay, even when I’m not moving, and I’m starting to feel like I look older than I feel/I actually am” – expression lines becoming visible at rest can be frustrating, especially if you’ve always taken care of your skin! These lines are often caused by years of repeated facial movements, and Anti-Wrinkle Injections can be used to reduce this muscle activity and give the skin a chance to recover and smooth out. With repeated treatments, Anti-Wrinkle Injections can help you achieve a more refreshed, energised look.

I want smoother skin, but I don’t want to look like I’ve had work done” – This is one of the most common concerns we hear. Whether you’re seeking a subtle, natural result, or a more prominent ‘frozen’ look, Thryiv’s medical professionals will tailor their approach to align with your aesthetic goals.

What do Anti-Wrinkle Injections look like at Thriyv

A personalised consultation

 

Every aesthetics treatment at Thriyv begins with a comprehensive consultation. On your arrival at our Manchester City Centre wellness hub, one of our medical professionals will review your medical history, discuss your aesthetics goals and how Thriyv can help you achieve them. If all is well, and depending on your timescales, your treatment will go ahead the same day or be scheduled for a later date of your choosing. 

As part of our commitment to client safety, our medical professionals may deem you unsuitable to progress with your intended treatment. Depending on the circumstances, your treatment may be deferred to a later date or postponed indefinitely. Regardless, your medical practitioner will fully inform you as to why and what alternatives may be available to you in the meantime.

Your Medic-led treatment

 

Your treatment will be delivered in one of our clean, professional and purpose built aesthetics treatment rooms. Your comfort and safety is paramount. That’s why all of our aesthetic treatments are delivered by medical professionals with an excellent understanding of facial anatomy. 

We also use premium, comfortable treatment beds, high strength numbing cream and top quality needles to help you relax and minimise discomfort whilst you undergo your transformation.

Aftercare/downtime

 

On completion of your treatment, you’ll be provided with thorough aftercare guidance including tips and tricks on how to minimise swelling. 

Immediately post-treatment, you will have raised bumps at each of the injection sites, and may experience minor redness. This typically resolves within hours, with most of our clients resuming normal activities within hours of the appointment.

To aid with recovery and ensure your anti-wrinkle injections settle, it’s recommended you avoid the following during the first 24 hours as a minimum:

  • Touching the area
  • Applying makeup to the area 
  • Drinking alcohol
  • Engaging in strenuous activity (e.g., gym, workouts, runs)
  • Using saunas or steam rooms

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How long does an anti-wrinkle injection appointment last at Thriyv?

The full appointment is approximately 45 minutes, including a medical consultation and facial assessment with Dr Callum Shields (MBChB). The injections themselves take around 15 minutes. We never rush — proper assessment is what separates a clinical result from a beauty-salon result.

2. How much do anti-wrinkle injections cost at Manchester?

Pricing at our Manchester clinic starts from £150 for one area, with two- and three-area packages available. All treatments include a medical consultation, follow-up review at 2 weeks, and aftercare support — included as standard, not charged as extras. [See full pricing →]

3. How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?

Most clients see results lasting 3–4 months, depending on muscle activity, metabolism, and dose. Regular clients on a maintenance schedule often find duration extends over time as muscles weaken with consistent treatment. We recommend booking every 12–16 weeks for sustained results.

4. When will I see results from my anti-wrinkle treatment?

Initial softening begins around day 3–5, with full results visible at 14 days. We book every client in for a complimentary 2-week review to assess results and top up if clinically indicated — something the majority of Manchester injectors don’t offer.

5. Is there any downtime after anti-wrinkle injections?

Minimal. You’ll have small raised bumps at each injection site that settle within an hour, and possible mild redness. Most clients return to work or normal activities immediately. Following our written aftercare protocol (no exercise, no lying flat, no facials for 24 hours) is essential to prevent product migration.

6. Can anti-wrinkle injections treat all types of wrinkles?

No — and any clinic claiming otherwise is misleading you. Anti-wrinkle injections work on dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement (frown lines, forehead, crow’s feet). For static wrinkles (lines visible at rest), we combine treatment with polynucleotides, Sunekos, or skin boosters for a complete result. Dr Cal will recommend the right protocol at your consultation.

7. Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?

Yes — when administered by a medical professional. Botulinum toxin has over 30 years of clinical research and is one of the most-studied compounds in modern medicine. The risk is not the product — it’s the injector.

At Thriyv, all anti-wrinkle treatments are performed under the medical governance of Dr Callum Shields (MBChB), a fully registered doctor with the General Medical Council. From 2026, new DHSC licensing rules will make it illegal for unlicensed practitioners to perform these injections — Thriyv already operates to the standard the law is moving toward.

8. Will I look frozen or expressionless?

No — not when treated correctly. A skilled medical injector uses the minimum effective dose to soften lines whilst preserving natural movement. “Frozen” results come from over-dosing or poor anatomical placement, both of which are far more common in non-medical settings.

9. Am I a suitable candidate for anti-wrinkle injections?

Most healthy adults aged 21+ are suitable. Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain neuromuscular conditions, and active skin infections at the treatment site. Every new client at Thriyv undergoes a medical screening and consultation before any treatment is administered — non-negotiable, regardless of how routine the appointment may seem.

10. Why choose a doctor-led clinic for anti-wrinkle injections in Manchester?

Three reasons:

  • Medical assessment — wrinkles can mask underlying skin conditions a non-medic won’t identify
  • Complication management — if anything goes wrong, you need a doctor on-site, not a beauty therapist with a hotline
  • 2026 regulatory compliance — DHSC licensing reforms will remove unlicensed providers from the market; Thriyv is already operating at clinical standard

11. Where is Thriyv’s aesthetics clinic in Manchester?

We’re at 14–16 Whitworth Street, Manchester, M1 3BS — a two-minute walk from Oxford Road station, in the heart of Manchester city centre. Our Wellness & Aesthetics Hub combines injectable treatments with skin boosters, polynucleotides, and supporting wellness modalities like LED therapy and lymphatic drainage for complete results.
