TREATMENT
Anti-wrinkle injections
Popular prescription-only medicine used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles through injectable treatment.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a popular medical aesthetic treatment that temporarily inhibits the movement of specific facial muscles, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
At Sula Clinic we believe in a ‘less is more’ approach, aiming to obtain a natural, refreshed effect, whilst delivering lasting treatment results to support preventative ageing. To support this we offer a complimentary 2-4 week review appointment with your nurse practitioner post your anti-wrinkle injection treatment.
Anti-wrinkle injections are suitable for a wide range of individuals, particularly those seeking to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles whilst achieving a fresh, youthful appearance. Anti-wrinkle injections are best suited for wrinkles caused by muscle movements, such as frown lines (glabellar lines), crow's feet around the eyes, and forehead lines. However they can also be used to soften jawlines, chins and necks and enhance smiles.
