Wrinkle Reduction Consultation

Facial lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing and expression. Over time, repetitive muscle movement, changes in skin structure and environmental factors can contribute to the formation of visible lines.

At The Skin Doctors Clinic, we provide wrinkle reduction consultations designed to assess your areas of concern and discuss suitable medical treatment options under the supervision of our doctor-led team. The aim is to relax targeted facial muscles, helping to soften the appearance of lines and create a smoother, more refreshed look while maintaining your natural expression.

Your consultation is an essential first step. One of our qualified practitioners will review your medical history, examine your facial structure and skin health, and determine whether this type of treatment is clinically appropriate and safe for you.

Understanding Dynamic and Static Wrinkles

Wrinkles can be broadly grouped into dynamic and static types, and understanding the difference helps explain why certain treatments are recommended.

Dynamic wrinkles appear when we move our facial muscles — for example, when frowning, smiling, or squinting. These lines are formed by repetitive muscle movement over time and are most often seen on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.

Static wrinkles, on the other hand, are visible even when the face is at rest. They develop gradually as the skin loses elasticity, collagen, and hydration, and may deepen as dynamic lines become more established.

It’s generally easier to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and help limit their progression than it is to reverse static wrinkles that have already formed. Once lines become etched into the skin at rest, treatment usually requires a combination of approaches — such as muscle relaxation, skin resurfacing, or collagen-stimulating therapies — to achieve noticeable improvement.

During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin and recommend a tailored plan that considers both prevention and management, depending on your individual needs.

Common Treatment Areas Discussed

All procedures at our clinic are performed by experienced health professionals following medical assessment and approval. You can usually expect same-day treatment following your consultation if it is safe and suitable to do so.

Results typically develop gradually over several days, with optimal results often seen at around two weeks. The effects are temporary and vary between individuals, with many people noticing benefits for several months before a review or follow-up treatment is recommended.

Because every person’s facial anatomy and muscle movement are unique, results and duration can vary. During your consultation, we’ll provide tailored information about potential outcomes, risks, and aftercare.

Pricing and Consultation

Under current AHPRA and TGA advertising regulations, clinics are not permitted to publicly list or promote prices for certain medical aesthetic treatments that involve prescription-only products.

At The Skin Doctors Clinic, treatment costs are discussed in detail during your consultation once your personalised plan has been developed. We offer a tiered pricing structure — treatments performed by Dr Jimmy Wang (Cosmetic Physician, MED0001663746) are priced slightly higher, while treatments with our experienced nurse team are offered at a lower rate.

This approach ensures transparency and flexibility, allowing you to make an informed choice based on your treatment goals and practitioner preference.
