Subtly Enhance What Nature Has Given You

At Age With Elegance Medical Aesthetics & Skin Clinic in Bolton, we provide professional anti-wrinkle treatments delivered by an experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Independent Nurse Prescriber with NHS experience since 1986. Our nurse-led approach focuses on achieving natural-looking results that soften lines and wrinkles while preserving facial expression and individuality.

 

Using Botulinum Toxin Type A (commonly known as Botox®), anti-wrinkle treatments can help reduce the appearance of forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and other expression lines caused by repeated facial movement. Every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to ensure a safe, personalised approach that supports your aesthetic goals and helps you achieve a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Anti-wrinkle treatments use a prescription-only medicine containing Botulinum Toxin Type A (commonly known as Botox®) to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that cause expression lines and wrinkles. This safe and effective treatment is widely used in aesthetic medicine to soften the appearance of forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and other dynamic wrinkles, helping to create a smoother, fresher, and more youthful appearance.

 

As Botulinum Toxin Type A is a prescription-only medicine (POM), a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber is legally required before treatment can take place. During your consultation, suitability will be assessed, treatment options discussed, and a personalised treatment plan created. Anti-wrinkle treatments are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Over time, repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, and squinting can cause fine lines and wrinkles to develop. Anti-wrinkle injections help soften these dynamic lines by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for their formation, creating a smoother, fresher, and more rejuvenated appearance while maintaining natural facial expression.

 

Anti-wrinkle treatments are most commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. They can also be used in other areas of the face to help create a more refreshed appearance. Deeper static lines caused by sun damage, collagen loss, and the natural ageing process may benefit from additional skin rejuvenation treatments such as skin boosters, microneedling, or medical grade skincare to achieve the best possible results.

Botulinum toxin A is most commonly used to treat:

 

Forehead lines
Frown lines (glabella lines)
Crow’s feet (laughter lines around the eyes)

 

However, advanced techniques can also target lower-face concerns, including:

 

Gummy smile – Reducing excessive gum show when smiling
Bruxism (teeth grinding) – Relaxing the jaw to relieve tension
Dimpled/pebbled chin – Softening the ‘orange peel’ texture
Jawline definition – Slimming the jaw for a more contoured look
Neck bands and sagging jowls – Smoothing and lifting the lower face

Brow Lift – Elevates the brows for a more lifted appearance
Bunny Lines – Softens wrinkles on the nose
Lip Flip – Enhances the upper lip’s shape by relaxing the surrounding muscles
Hyperhidrosis Treatment – Reduces excessive sweating (underarms, face)

 

These treatments require a thorough consultation to assess suitability and discuss expected results.

Results typically begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full effects visible at 14 days. During this period, muscle activity gradually reduces, leading to a smoother, more refreshed appearance. As the toxin takes effect, the muscles may undergo a brief transition phase, sometimes resulting in temporary, unusual muscle activity, which will settle as the treatment fully develops. The longevity of results varies between individuals, influenced by factors such as metabolism, muscle strength, and lifestyle. 

 

At the 14-day mark, a review appointment is offered to assess the results, and if necessary, adjustments can be made at no additional cost if your practitioner deems it necessary to optimise your outcome.

Client Reviews

Heather GloverLip Enhancement
Had I not worked with Cath in a very pressurised nursing job in the 90s, which Cath still does, I wouldn't have ever had anything done involving a needle and my face! Trusting someone in that situation takes a lot for me. But as my lips shrink with that miserable downturn, I went to Cath last summer to help restore my smile. I was also on non-conventional cancer medication and Cath researched each one and went into detail about my medical history (you'd only get this level of treatment from an experienced nurse) before she went ahead. My lips looked fab and there was no need for nerves. They looked so natural nobody could tell, I just got comments like "You look great - what's different - have you had your hair done?" So now I'm saving up and waiting for summer to finish (love the sun), before I treat myself to the next treatment from Cath to open my eyes better to match my smile. Very safe in your hands Cath, thank you.
Victoria FletcherBotox
I had botox with Cath and it was a really great experience. The clinic is beautiful and spotlessly clean and Cath was professional but friendly and reassuring too. She explained everything to me every step of the way and made sure to get my input and take it into consideration. It's clear that she's incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her work. I've had botox before with other providers but these are the best results l've ever had and in record time (Cath explained that she used a relatively new product to the market that kicks in quicker). Very pleased and will be returning.
Venetia KuyucakDermal Filler - Lip Enhancement
I have a very difficult lip shape and never been happy with how they looked until I went to Catherine and I have gone back ever since and won't let anybody else touch my lips. Very experienced and knowledgeable on treatments, I have quite bad acne and she has gave me a lot of knowledge on which treatments and product I should use to solve this.
Chloe BoydenSkincare
I recently had skin analysis done with Cath, and i couldn't be happier with the experience. She was extremely knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each finding, in a way that made sense to me. She provided me with skincare recommendations specific for my skin type, addressing my concerns and helping me to understand which product would work best for me. If you're considering a skin consultation, I highly recommend it!
Christopher Bennettskin boosters & anti wrinkle treatment
I travel 90 minutes to visit Age With Elegance and cannot recommend Cath enough! She is so kind and welcoming, extremely knowledgeable and I always know that I am in the safe hands of a true professional. Cath is always completely transparent, and would rather advise against treatments than charge for a service that is not appropriate. If you have any doubts or concerns - book a consultation at the beautiful clinic and Cath will happily talk you through your options, discuss treatments and you will leave feeling completely at ease and knowing that you're visiting a passionate practitioner.
