Men’s wrinkle consultations in Melbourne
Core Aesthetics offers individual consultations for men concerned about forehead lines, frown lines or lines around the eyes. At our Oakleigh clinic, you can discuss the changes you notice, the facial expressions you want considered and whether any cosmetic care is appropriate. The initial consultation usually takes around 30 minutes and is at no charge, with no obligation to proceed.
What your consultation covers
You do not need to select a procedure first. Explain where you notice a line, whether it appears during expression or remains when your face relaxes, and what you would like to understand. Corey Anderson RN reviews your health history and previous cosmetic care, assesses the area and discusses suitable options, alternatives, risks and costs.
Bring any previous treatment records, your medicines list and relevant health information. Mention earlier side effects and anything that felt unfamiliar about movement or brow position. If you are unsure what was done, say so rather than guessing.
Consultation comes first. Same day treatment may be discussed when assessment, consent and the required clinical arrangements support it. Booking does not guarantee treatment; you can take the information away and decide later.
Which lines would you like assessed?
You can discuss several areas in one appointment. These descriptions help you name the concern; they do not establish a cause or mean a procedure will suit you. For lip, jawline, skin or sweating questions, use the men’s consultation directory.
Discuss expression and brow position before deciding
If keeping an animated brow or a familiar smile matters to you, say so early. Your starting brow position, side-to-side differences, movement and skin are assessed individually. There is no standard male brow shape or movement goal that every man needs to follow.
| Your concern | What to clarify at the appointment |
|---|---|
| The line is mainly visible during expression | How does the area move, and how might any proposed care affect movement you value? |
| A crease remains when the face is relaxed | What are the limits of the options discussed, and what might remain unchanged? |
| The brow feels heavy or looks uneven | How do the starting brow and eyelid positions affect suitability? |
| Previous care changed your expression | What happened, when did it happen and which records would help assess it? |
A preferred appearance is a discussion point, not a promised result. Complete removal of lines, a particular brow shape, symmetry or an unchanged expression cannot be guaranteed. Read more about facial expression and its limits.
Risks, alternatives and reasons to wait
If a procedure is considered, the discussion should cover common effects, less common serious complications, recovery, your own health risks and who would manage a concern afterwards. Ask what uncertainty remains and what the proposed option would leave unchanged.
You should also understand alternatives, including waiting, another opinion or no cosmetic treatment. A busy schedule or a wish for a small change does not remove the need for assessment and informed consent. Use the four questions to ask before agreeing.
Work, exercise, privacy and review
Tell the practitioner about work, protective equipment, training, travel and important events before deciding on timing. Ask for instructions that relate to the actual plan rather than assuming you can return to every activity immediately. If aftercare or review would be difficult, discuss another time.
For privacy questions, ask how clinical records and photographs are handled and tell the clinic your preferred contact method. You can use the appointment for questions only; you do not need a rehearsed explanation for attending.
Consultation and follow-up costs
The initial consultation is at no charge and usually takes around 30 minutes. Any proposed treatment costs are explained before you agree. Check payment and cancellation policies and ask about the full cost, what is included and possible further care.
Reviews are offered two weeks after treatment and are free to attend. Fees apply if additional treatment is required. Do not wait for a routine review if you have concerning symptoms.

When a cosmetic appointment is not the right next step
Routine cosmetic consultation is not the pathway for sudden facial or eyelid drooping, weakness, altered vision, severe headache, new neurological symptoms, significant pain or another urgent change. Seek appropriate medical assessment rather than waiting for a cosmetic appointment.
The cosmetic decision should also stop when the health history is incomplete, previous care is unresolved, the skin is acutely inflamed or infected, consent is rushed, the goal comes mainly from pressure by another person, or follow up is not workable. Stopping can mean records, medical review, more time, referral or no procedure.
Guidance behind the consultation
Ahpra’s non-surgical cosmetic procedure guidelines set expectations for assessment, consent and practitioner responsibilities. The TGA’s health service advertising guidance explains why public clinic information must not promote prescription medicines. This page describes a consultation, not a recommendation for a particular treatment.
Before you decide
Will you assume I want a particular masculine look?
No. Explain what matters to you, including features or expressions you want considered. A gender label does not determine suitability or an individual plan. The assessment should address your own anatomy, health, previous care and expectations.
Do I need separate appointments for forehead and frown concerns?
You can raise both during the same consultation. The practitioner considers how the areas relate and explains what can be assessed. Any need for further appointments depends on the individual findings and proposed care, not the number of concerns you mention.
