A frown line consultation at Core Aesthetics involves a clinical assessment of the corrugator and procerus muscles and the depth and distribution of the vertical creases between the brows. Frown lines are assessed in the context of the full upper face before any treatment recommendation is made.
Frown lines are among the most commonly treated anti-wrinkle concerns, and with good reason: well-established frown lines can create a resting expression that reads as stern or concerned regardless of actual emotional state, and they are one of the more predictably responsive areas to anti-wrinkle treatment in appropriate candidates. A frown line consultation at Core Aesthetics is focused on assessing whether and how treatment is right for your specific frown line pattern and upper face anatomy.
All consultations at Core Aesthetics are conducted by Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575, registered since January 1996), the sole treating practitioner at the clinic. You can read more about what to expect in our article on what happens at an injectables consultation.

What Causes This Concern
Frown lines are created by the corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles, which pull the brows inward and downward during frowning, concentration and squinting. Years of repeated contraction progressively score a vertical crease between the brows. In earlier stages, this crease is only visible during expression. Over time it becomes static, visible at rest even without muscular activity. How deeply established your frown lines are at rest versus only in expression significantly affects the treatment discussion.
What the Consultation Covers
Corey will assess your corrugator and procerus muscle activity and the depth of your frown lines at rest and in expression. He will discuss whether anti-wrinkle treatment is the appropriate primary approach or whether a combination with dermal filler for deeply established static lines is worth considering. The relationship between frown line treatment and forehead treatment is always discussed in context. Read more on our frown lines treatment page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a frown line consultation melbourne?
Corey assesses the relevant anatomy, discusses your goals and concerns, explains whether treatment is appropriate for your individual situation, reviews risks and aftercare, and gives you an honest recommendation. There is no obligation to proceed.
How long does the consultation take?
Most anti-wrinkle area consultations take approximately 30 minutes including assessment, discussion and time for questions.
Can frown lines be treated with filler as well as anti-wrinkle?
Yes, in some cases. For deeply established static frown lines that remain visible at rest even without muscle activity, a combination of anti-wrinkle product and a small amount of filler can produce a more complete result than anti-wrinkle alone. Your practitioner will assess whether this applies to your situation.
Will treating my frown lines make me look expressionless?
A conservative, well-planned treatment should soften the lines while preserving natural expression. The goal is that you look more relaxed without looking frozen. At Core Aesthetics, preserving natural expression is always a clinical priority.
