Forehead consultations for Caulfield visitors
Forehead consultations at Core Aesthetics cover horizontal lines, creases visible at rest and concerns about changing your usual expression. Caulfield visitors attend the Oakleigh clinic at 12A Atherton Road, inside BeautyTHEQUE. An initial consultation is free, usually takes 30 minutes and gives you time to understand your options before choosing care.
Which lines belong to a forehead consultation?
Horizontal lines across the forehead are the main concern; lines between the eyebrows are usually described as frown lines. You can discuss both at one appointment. Your practitioner compares the face at rest and during ordinary expression rather than relying on a single posed photograph.
Repeated movement, changes in skin elasticity and sun exposure can all contribute to wrinkles. A resting crease can therefore need a different discussion from a line that appears only during movement. Mayo Clinic explains the contributing factors. Read the frown-line guide if the concern is mainly between your brows.
Will skincare remove an established forehead crease?
Skincare may improve dryness and some fine lines, but it does not reliably remove an established crease. Sun protection remains useful because UV exposure contributes to skin ageing. A moisturiser can improve dry or flaky skin without committing you to a procedure. DermNet describes these benefits and limits.
Bring your current products if you want practical advice about your routine. For a proposed cosmetic option, ask whether its aim is to change movement, skin texture or another feature. An improvement in one does not guarantee an improvement in all three.
What should I know about recovery before deciding?
Leave room for visible recovery and a review if you proceed; a consultation cannot promise that you will look unchanged immediately afterwards. Depending on the procedure, forehead care can involve bruising, swelling, headache or unwanted eyelid droop. Better Health Channel explains these risks.
Tell the clinic about a wedding, work presentation or travel before agreeing to a date. Ask for the recovery advice for the actual proposed procedure, including activity restrictions and who to contact with a problem. Review is usually around two weeks, but concerns should be raised earlier rather than saved for that appointment.
What happens at the clinic, and what costs extra?
Your free initial consultation includes assessment and advice; treatment is charged separately, with itemised costs explained before agreement. Consultations are with Corey Anderson, Registered Nurse, Ahpra NMW0001047575. Verify practitioner details.
Treatment may be possible at the end of the consultation when suitable, with required clinical arrangements, informed consent and agreed costs in place. You can take the information home instead. The usual two week review is free to attend; any additional treatment is charged. Amex, Mastercard, Visa and cash are accepted without a surcharge.

Questions you may still have
Can I keep some forehead movement?
You can make retaining expression a priority in the consultation. Explain the movement and brow shape you want to preserve. Any proposed option needs an honest discussion of what it could change and the possibility of an unwanted effect; a precise result cannot be guaranteed.
Do I need treatment for every line?
No. You can discuss one concern and decline care for other areas. The assessment may consider the surrounding face to understand that concern without requiring a whole-face treatment plan.
What if I had a heavy-feeling brow after previous care?
Tell the clinic before any new procedure. Bring the date, treated area and any records, and explain whether the change has resolved. That history may change the advice or make further care inappropriate.
