Wrinkles form as part of the natural ageing process, when collagen production slows and facial expressions repeatedly crease the skin.
Lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, dehydration, and genetics also play a role.
During your consultation, Dr Scott Allison will examine your skin and facial anatomy and discuss suitable options to support smoother, more refreshed skin appearance. Some treatments may include prescription-only medicines or medical devices and are therefore discussed privately during consultation only.
Treatment Areas Commonly Discussed
Forehead Lines
Horizontal forehead lines develop from repeated muscle movement. Treatment options discussed may include procedures designed to reduce visible lines while maintaining natural expression.
The approach can be tailored to each individual — from subtle softening to more comprehensive relaxation — depending on personal preference and muscle activity.
Frown Lines
Frown lines, or vertical lines between the brows, often appear with repeated expression. During consultation, Dr Allison will discuss treatments that address these lines while preserving natural movement and facial harmony.
Maintaining balance between the frown and forehead area is essential to avoid unwanted brow changes.
Crow's Feet
Crow’s feet form from regular smiling and squinting. These lines can become more noticeable over time as the skin loses elasticity.
Treatment options focus on softening the appearance of these fine lines, aiming for a refreshed and natural look around the eyes.
Lip Lines
Fine lines around the mouth and upper lip can be assessed to determine whether subtle muscle relaxation or support techniques may improve balance.
Approaches are planned conservatively to preserve natural shape and movement.
Chin and Lower-Face Lines
The chin may develop dimpling or creasing over time due to increased muscle activity and changes in bone support.
Treatment may involve techniques that gently relax or balance the area to smooth the skin’s surface and restore proportion to the lower third of the face.
Who May Be Suitable
Patients who are concerned about visible facial lines that appear with movement (dynamic lines) or remain at rest (static lines) may benefit from consultation.
Suitability depends on overall health, skin condition, and treatment goals.
Dr Allison will assess your medical history and explain potential benefits, limitations, and risks before recommending any treatment.
Individuals must have a consultation before any procedure is considered.
What to Expect
Consultations include:
-
Assessment – Dr Allison reviews your facial anatomy, expression patterns, and areas of concern.
-
Discussion – He will outline the available non-surgical treatment options, potential risks, and expected variability in results.
-
Planning – A tailored treatment plan is created to meet your specific needs, including timing, maintenance, and aftercare.
All procedures are performed under medical supervision. Some redness or swelling may occur temporarily, and individual recovery times vary. Results depend on personal anatomy and treatment type.
Aftercare
Post-procedure care will be explained in detail, including activities to avoid, general skincare advice, and what to expect in the days following your treatment.
Most patients return to normal routines shortly after treatment.
Avoid touching or massaging the treated area until advised, and protect your skin from direct sunlight.
Follow-up reviews may be scheduled to ensure optimal outcomes.
The effects of certain muscle-relaxing procedures may take several days to appear, with results gradually becoming visible over one to two weeks. The treatment’s complete outcome generally manifests within one to two weeks.
Potential Risks
All cosmetic medical procedures carry some risk.
Common side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, or bruising at the treatment site. Rarely, asymmetry, drooping, or uneven results may occur.

Your Consultation with Dr Scott Allison
Understanding your goals, concerns, and medical background is the priority during your consultation with Dr Scott Allison. This comprehensive process ensures every recommendation is tailored to your needs, anatomy, and expectations.
Exploring Your Objectives
During the consultation, Dr Allison will begin by discussing the areas of concern you would like to address—whether these relate to fine lines, skin texture, or areas of facial movement that have changed over time.
He will carefully assess your facial anatomy, observing how your expressions influence the appearance of lines and folds. This analysis helps identify which non-surgical options may be appropriate to support a smoother, refreshed appearance while maintaining natural expression and balance.
You’ll have the opportunity to talk openly about your goals, the look you’d like to achieve, and any previous experiences you’ve had with aesthetic treatments. This collaborative discussion allows Dr Allison to guide you toward the most suitable and realistic treatment options.
Evaluating Your Medical Background
A thorough review of your medical history forms an essential part of the consultation. Dr Allison will ask about any current or past health conditions, allergies, or previous reactions to medication.
You’ll also be invited to share information about prior cosmetic or dermatological procedures, as well as any medicines or supplements you currently take.
These details help determine whether certain treatments are appropriate for you and ensure that every step of care is medically sound and safe.
Providing a Clear Overview
Once your assessment is complete, Dr Allison will outline a tailored treatment plan. He will explain:
-
Which non-surgical procedures may be suitable for your concerns
-
The expected variability in outcomes between individuals
-
The potential risks, temporary side effects, and necessary after-care
All treatment options are discussed in clear, accessible language so you understand exactly what each approach involves. Where prescription-only medicines may be appropriate, these are explained privately during consultation in accordance with current regulations.
Dr Allison also reviews timelines for visible improvement, how long results may last, and what kind of maintenance schedule may be suitable for you. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions at every stage to make an informed decision with confidence.
