Lines & Wrinkles Treatment, Ballynure

Lines & Wrinkles clients from Ballynure are seen at NUA's private studio in Carryduff. No waiting room, no rotating practitioners, and no pressure to book anything on the day.

In short: a nurse-led consultation and treatment plan for expression lines, delivered with medical precision and a focus on keeping your face moving naturally. Lauren will tell you if it is not the right treatment for you, which happens more often than you might expect.

NUA operates by appointment only from a private studio in Carryduff. For Ballynure clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.

Booking from Ballynure

Lauren is a registered Children's Nurse who graduated with First Class Honours from Northumbria University, and holds CIDESCO and ITEC qualifications in beauty therapy. That combination is unusual, and it is why wrinkle reduction here is treated as a clinical decision first and a cosmetic one second. Ballynure clients see the same practitioner at every appointment.

What Lines & Wrinkles involves

  1. Medical assessment

    A face-to-face consultation covering your medical history, what is bothering you, and what you want the outcome to feel like. Lauren assesses muscle strength and facial anatomy at rest and in movement.

  2. Your plan

    Areas are agreed together, with a clear explanation of what each one will and will not change. If a treatment is not right for you, or not right yet, you will be told that.

  3. Treatment

    The treatment itself takes around fifteen minutes. Most people describe it as a series of brief pinches rather than anything painful.

  4. Review

    A follow-up appointment two weeks later checks how the result has settled and allows any fine adjustment.

Who it suits

  • Forehead lines that stay visible when your face is at rest
  • Crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes
  • Frown or eleven lines between the brows
  • Early signs of ageing you would rather address before they deepen
  • Anyone wanting a natural result that keeps normal facial movement

What Ballynure clients want to know about wrinkle reduction

Who will carry out my treatment?

Lauren, every time. She is an NMC registered nurse and CIDESCO qualified skin specialist. There is no rotating team, so Ballynure clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.

Is there any downtime?

Very little. You may have small raised bumps at the injection points for up to an hour, and occasionally slight bruising. Most people go straight back to work or their normal day.

How long does the appointment take?

Allow around an hour for a first appointment. That covers the medical assessment, the treatment itself, and time to go through aftercare properly. The injections take about fifteen minutes of that.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Yes. It combines well with polynucleotides, Profhilo and microneedling, which work on skin quality rather than muscle movement. Lauren will sequence them sensibly rather than doing everything at once.

Which areas can be treated?

The most common areas are forehead lines, crow's feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the brows. Lauren assesses your facial anatomy during the consultation and will recommend the areas that will actually make a difference for you.

Is there parking available?

Yes, parking is straightforward at the studio, which is one of the practical advantages over a town centre clinic for anyone driving in from Ballynure.

How much does wrinkle reduction cost?

Pricing is listed openly on this page and is the same for all clients regardless of where they travel from. There is no separate charge for the consultation and no call-out or travel fee for Ballynure clients.

How do I book wrinkle reduction from Ballynure?

Booking is through the online system, where you can pick a consultation or treatment slot that suits you. Lauren confirms the appointment and sends the studio address. You can also call or message if you would rather talk it through first.

Will I look frozen or unnatural?

Not when the treatment is planned properly. The focus at NUA is always on subtle enhancement, softening lines while keeping your natural facial expression and movement. Lauren treats conservatively and reviews at two weeks rather than overtreating at the first appointment.

What if wrinkle reduction is not right for me?

Then Lauren will say so at the consultation and talk through what would suit your skin better. Being told no is a reasonable outcome of an honest assessment, and it happens regularly.

What happens if I do not like the result?

That is what the two-week review is for. The treatment is planned conservatively so there is room to adjust upward if needed. Results are not permanent, so any outcome gradually wears off over three to four months.
