Lines & Wrinkles Treatment, Drummullan

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

The treatment itself: a nurse-led consultation and treatment plan for expression lines, delivered with medical precision and a focus on keeping your face moving naturally. What that means in practice is discussed at your consultation, in plain terms.

Appointments run from a private home studio in Carryduff. Drummullan clients often book alongside neighbours from Moneymore and Ballymaguigan, and parking is straightforward.

Why Drummullan clients choose NUA

Consultations are included, unhurried and honest. If wrinkle reduction is not the right treatment for your skin, or not the right treatment yet, you will be told so rather than sold something. Several Drummullan clients have left a first appointment with a skincare plan and no treatment booked.

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

Lines & Wrinkles in Drummullan: common questions

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.

Do I need a consultation before wrinkle reduction?

Yes, and for this treatment it is a legal requirement. Prescription-only medicines can only be provided after a face-to-face medical assessment. The consultation is included rather than charged separately, so Drummullan clients are not paying twice.

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.

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 Drummullan clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.

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.

Can I have this treatment if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. These treatments are not offered during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This is covered during the medical assessment, and Lauren can suggest suitable alternatives such as skin-focused treatments in the meantime.

What are the appointment times like?

NUA runs by appointment only with flexible scheduling, including times outside standard working hours. That tends to suit clients travelling from Drummullan who would rather not take time off work.

When will I see the results?

Results build gradually. Most people notice a change from around day three, with the full effect settled by around two weeks. That is why the review appointment is scheduled at the two-week mark.

Does it hurt?

Most people find it very manageable. The needles used are extremely fine and each injection takes a second or two. Most describe the sensation as a brief sharp pinch rather than pain.

Is there any downtime?

Minimal. Most people return to normal activity straight away. Aftercare guidance is given at the appointment, and Lauren is contactable afterwards if anything concerns you.
