A new kind of aesthetics clinic has arrived in Inverness, one built on trust, experience, and heart.
Elixir Medical, founded by highly respected nurse practitioners Susan MacLennan and Ali Wilson, is redefining what medical aesthetics means for people across the Highlands.
Both Susan and Ali are familiar faces in the Inverness medical community.
Known for their professionalism, compassion, and integrity, they have spent years helping patients feel their best.
Now, they have built something entirely their own.
Every element of Elixir, from the tranquil treatment rooms to the welcoming design, has been created by Susan and Ali themselves.
Their goal is simple: to make aesthetic care safe, ethical, and empowering for everyone.
What sets Elixir apart is its inclusive philosophy.
While many aesthetic clinics still focus mainly on women, Elixir is breaking new ground by welcoming men to explore treatments without stigma or judgement.
“Confidence is universal,” says Susan.
“We wanted to create a space where men feel just as comfortable seeking treatment as women do.”
Ali adds:
“We’re nurses first and foremost, everything we do is guided by ethics, professionalism, and care.
“For us, aesthetics is part of wellbeing, it’s about helping people look good and feel even better.”
Fully regulated by Health Improvement Scotland and proud members of the British Association of Medical Aesthetic Nurses, Elixir meets the highest standards of safety, accountability, and continuing education.
The clinic offers a full range of medical aesthetic treatments, including anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, microneedling, skin boosters, chemical peels, polynucleotides, and vitamin B12 therapy.
More treatments are already being explored, with new options to be added continuously to meet the needs of an ever-changing market and to stay current with the latest advances in aesthetic medicine as they become available.
Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation to ensure that each patient receives care that’s safe, suitable, and tailored to their goals.
Elixir’s nurse-led model means that every step of the process from consultation to treatment is handled with clinical precision and genuine compassion.
Their vision is not about changing how people look, but about enhancing natural confidence and celebrating individuality.
With decades of combined experience and deep local roots, Susan and Ali are bringing something new to the Highlands, an approach to aesthetics that puts people, not procedures, first.
Elixir Medical is now open in Inverness and welcoming new clients from across the Highlands and Islands.
