Am I suitable for treatment?
Anti-wrinkle injections target muscles of facial expression to reduce wrinkles and unwanted movement. They involve the use of a prescription-only medicine and, for this reason, require a consultation to ensure that you are medically suitable to receive treatment. A consultation also allows thorough assessment to ensure that anti-wrinkle injections are the best treatment to address your cosmetic concerns.

Will I look unnatural?
This is one the most commonly asked questions. We've all seen them - the 'frozen' foreheads and 'spock' brows circling on social media. Whilst some prefer minimal muscle movement, most people want to achieve natural results - softening their wrinkles but also retaining the muscular ability to still express their face. The truth is, the dosage and mapping of anti-wrinkle injections can be adjusted in line with your goals. Dr Nenah brings skill, anatomical knowledge and thorough assessment to tailor your dose and achieve the best results for you.
