A wrinkle consultation for patients from Oakleigh reviews the concern, medical history, timing, expectations, risk factors and whether treatment is appropriate. The aim is to make a careful decision before any plan is discussed. A consultation may lead to treatment planning, a decision to wait, referral, or a recommendation not to proceed.
A wrinkle consultation at Core Aesthetics is focused specifically on facial expression lines: how they form, what is driving them in your individual case, and whether wrinkle treatment is clinically appropriate for your situation. It is a more targeted appointment than a general cosmetic consultation, but the approach is the same: individual assessment first, recommendation second.
All wrinkle consultations at Core Aesthetics are conducted by Corey AndersonAHPRA registered nurse, the sole treating practitioner at the clinic.
“There is no obligation to proceed. The consultation is where the honest conversation happens.”

Dynamic Versus Static Wrinkles: Why the Distinction Matters
Not all wrinkles are the same and not all wrinkles respond equally to wrinkle treatment. Understanding this distinction is one of the most important things a consultation achieves.
Dynamic wrinkles are created by muscle movement. They are most visible during expression and become less visible when the face is relaxed. These are the wrinkles wrinkle injectable treatment directly addresses, by temporarily reducing the activity of the muscle responsible so the overlying skin folds less during movement. Common dynamic wrinkle concerns include forehead lines, frown lines, crows feet, bunny lines and other expression related creases.
Static wrinkles are visible at rest regardless of expression. They often develop from dynamic wrinkles that have deepened over time until the crease remains even when the muscle is not contracting. wrinkle treatment can reduce the deepening of static wrinkles over time by reducing ongoing muscle activity, but for lines already well established at rest, the improvement may be incomplete and a combination approach including facial volume treatment may be more appropriate. Your practitioner will assess which category applies to your specific concerns.
What Corey Assesses During a Wrinkle Consultation
The clinical assessment for wrinkle treatment at Core Aesthetics covers several aspects of your upper and mid face. Corey reviews your muscle strength and movement patterns in the specific treatment areas, how your lines relate to your brow position and overall upper face structure, whether the lines are primarily dynamic, static or a combination, how deeply established the lines are at rest and in expression, and what a realistic and proportionate result looks like for your face specifically.
The upper face in particular is assessed as a coordinated system rather than as individual areas. Forehead and frown line treatment interact directly in terms of brow position, and treating them independently without understanding that relationship is one of the most common sources of suboptimal wrinkle outcomes. You can read a full breakdown of how wrinkle treatment areas relate to each other in our overview of wrinkle treatments at Core Aesthetics.
Treatment Areas That May Be Discussed
Depending on your concerns, a wrinkle consultation may cover forehead lines, frown lines, crows feet, bunny lines, the lip flip, jaw muscle treatment for jaw tension and lower face width, and gummy smile. Each has its own clinical considerations and each is discussed in the context of your individual anatomy. You can read more about individual treatment areas on our dedicated pages for forehead wrinkle treatmentfrown line treatmentcrows feet treatment and jaw muscle treatment.
A Conservative Approach Is Always the Starting Point
At Core Aesthetics, wrinkle treatment is always approached conservatively. The goal is softening and natural improvement, not immobility. Corey doses based on your individual muscle activity and the minimum effective amount needed to achieve your goal, not a standard protocol. This produces results that look like you, simply refreshed.

Safety, Suitability and Clinical Assessment
All aesthetic treatment procedures carry risk. The suitability assessment at consultation identifies any contraindications or relative risk factors specific to your circumstances, including medical history, current medications, previous procedures, and anatomical features that may affect the risk profile for a given treatment area. This information is reviewed before any treatment is planned.
For certain conditions and medications, injectable treatments are not appropriate, or require modification of technique or timing. For others, the treating practitioner may recommend that you consult with your primary healthcare provider before proceeding. These are clinical judgements that can only be made with accurate, complete medical history information, which is why the consultation history taking process is thorough.
Complication recognition and initial management are part of the clinical competency required of practitioners performing injectable treatments under AHPRA’s September 2025 guidelines for nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. The practitioner at Core Aesthetics holds current training in this area and maintains the relevant management supplies on site. Understanding that risk exists and is actively managed is more useful than assuming risk does not exist.
Review Appointments and Ongoing Care
A review appointment at four to six weeks is a standard part of every treatment cycle at Core Aesthetics. The review is not contingent on whether you have concerns, it is a clinical standard that applies to every patient. At review, the practitioner assesses the result across all treated areas, compares the outcome to the pretreatment clinical photographs, identifies any asymmetry or variation in response between sides, and determines whether any adjustment is appropriate within the same treatment cycle.
The review is also where longitudinal data about how your specific anatomy responds to treatment is recorded. Over multiple treatment cycles, this accumulated data allows the practitioner to refine the dosing and approach to better match your individual response pattern, which is one of the most significant advantages of maintaining a consistent treating practitioner rather than moving between clinics.
If you have any concerns in the period between your treatment and your review appointment, contact the clinic directly. The practitioner who treated you has the clinical context to respond accurately to any post treatment question, which is preferable to relying on general online information that may not reflect your specific situation.
What the Assessment Covers
The assessment at the consultation appointment is a face wide evaluation, not a focused review of only the area you have identified as a concern. This full face approach is deliberate: anatomical features interact with each other, and addressing one area in isolation, without understanding the broader facial context, can produce results that look disproportionate even when the individual area was technically treated well.
The practitioner evaluates facial symmetry, bone structure, soft tissue distribution, skin quality, and the dynamic movement patterns associated with each treatment area. The history taking covers your current medications, any previous injectable or surgical procedures, relevant health conditions, and any prior reactions or complications. From this assessment, the practitioner develops a treatment plan that reflects your specific anatomy and circumstances.
Results vary between individuals. What the assessment finds in one patient may be different from what it finds in another patient with a similar presenting concern, which is why templated treatment protocols are not used here. All treatments at Core Aesthetics are consultation based and individually assessed.
