How often do most clients return for anti wrinkle treatment?

Most clients return every three to four months in the first year. As the muscles respond to regular treatment, some clients find they can extend to every five months or longer. The right interval is based on when your individual movement returns, not a fixed calendar schedule.

Can anti wrinkle treatment be combined with dermal filler at the same appointment?

Yes, and many clients benefit from both. Anti wrinkle treatment addresses active muscle contraction, while dermal filler restores volume and structural support. Whether combining them at a single appointment makes sense depends on the areas being treated and is discussed at consultation.

What happens if I am not happy with the result of my anti wrinkle treatment?

Anti wrinkle treatment is temporary and will wear off on its own. If the result is stronger than expected, this resolves within the treatment duration. If the effect is insufficient, a review is possible. Any concerns are discussed at the original consultation as part of setting realistic expectations.

Is a prescription required for anti wrinkle treatment in Australia?

Yes. All botulinum toxin products used for cosmetic purposes are Schedule 4 prescription medicines under the TGA. At Core Aesthetics, Corey Anderson is an AHPRA registered nurse who works within a prescribing framework compliant with current TGA and AHPRA requirements. Treatment is not dispensed without individual clinical assessment.

Will my face look different if I stop having anti wrinkle treatment?

If you stop treatment, muscle activity gradually returns and lines reappear over the following months. Your face will not look worse than before you started. Some clients find lines are slightly less deep than they would have been without any treatment, because years of reduced muscle activity have slowed line progression.

Can anti wrinkle treatment be used for a gummy smile?

Yes. Small amounts of product placed at the upper lip elevator muscles can reduce how much the upper gum is visible when smiling. This is a precise treatment that requires careful assessment to avoid affecting the smile in other ways. It is not appropriate for all anatomy.

How long before an event should I book anti wrinkle treatment?

Allow at least two weeks before any significant event to give the product time to settle fully and to identify whether a minor follow-up is needed. Booking closer than this is not recommended for first treatments. Clients who have had previous treatment and know their individual response can book slightly closer.

Is there any downtime after anti wrinkle treatment?

There is no downtime. Small injection marks may be briefly visible immediately after, and occasional mild swelling or redness at injection sites can occur, but these typically resolve within an hour or two. Most clients return to normal activity immediately after their appointment.

Anti Wrinkle Treatment Springvale | Core Aesthetics Oakleigh

Core Aesthetics offers anti wrinkle treatment for Springvale residents at their Oakleigh clinic, approximately 14 minutes from Springvale Post Office. All treatment individually assessed by Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse NMW0001047575.

Facial changes over time are rarely caused by a single factor. Volume reduces in some areas while redistributing in others. Muscle activity deepens lines that were once intermittent. Structural support shifts gradually in ways that affect the overall balance of the face.

This is why the assessment at Core Aesthetics comes before the recommendation, not after it. Springvale clients who book a consultation for anti wrinkle treatment receive a full facial evaluation before any plan is discussed. What the concern actually is, what is driving it, and whether anti wrinkle treatment is the right response, all of this is established at consultation before any treatment is considered.

How Anti Wrinkle Treatment Works

The mechanism

The prescription product works by blocking the chemical signal between the nerve and the muscle at the injection site. This temporarily reduces the muscle’s ability to contract, which softens the expression lines driven by that movement. The effect is not permanent and the muscle gradually returns to its normal level of activity over three to four months.

Duration and results

Understanding this mechanism helps set realistic expectations at consultation. The result is not immediate and builds over days to weeks as the prescription product takes effect. The consultation is the appropriate place to understand exactly what the treatment can and cannot achieve for your specific concern.

The Consultation and Assessment Process

How muscle activity is assessed

Individual assessment of muscle activity and expression line distribution is conducted before any treatment recommendation is made. Corey assesses the full upper face at consultation, considering how different muscle groups relate to each other and how treatment in one area may affect adjacent areas. Before booking, many clients from Springvale find it helpful to read about what AHPRA registration means in practice, read our article on why choose an AHPRA registered nurse for cosmetic injectables before your first appointment.

What happens at consultation

The recommendation you receive is based entirely on what he finds at assessment, not on a standard protocol applied to everyone. There is no obligation to proceed and treatment is only performed with your fully informed consent.
