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. 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 that may be considered in relation to forehead lines are discussed at consultation, based on individual anatomy and medical suitability.
Treatment planning is tailored to individual facial anatomy, muscle activity, and medical suitability, all of which are assessed at consultation.
Frown Lines
Frown lines, or vertical lines between the brows, often appear with repeated expression. During consultation, Dr Allison will discuss treatment options that may be considered in relation to this area, based on individual anatomy and medical suitability.
The relationship between the frown and forehead area is considered during treatment planning. Potential effects on brow position are discussed at consultation.
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 that may be considered in relation to crow’s feet are discussed at consultation, based on individual anatomy and medical suitability.
Lip Lines
Fine lines around the mouth and upper lip can be assessed during consultation to determine whether treatment options in this area may be suitable, based on individual anatomy and medical suitability.
Treatment planning is based on individual facial anatomy and medical suitability, discussed at consultation.
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 options that may be considered in relation to chin dimpling and creasing are discussed at consultation, based on individual anatomy and medical suitability.
Who May Be Suitable
Patients who wish to discuss visible facial lines that appear with movement (dynamic lines) or remain at rest (static lines) may be suitable for consultation. Suitability depends on overall health, skin condition, and individual anatomy. Dr Allison will assess your medical history and explain available options, limitations, and risks before recommending any treatment.
Individuals must have a consultation before any procedure is considered.

Your Consultation with Dr Scott Allison
Understanding your areas of 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 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 based on individual anatomy and medical suitability. You’ll have the opportunity to talk openly about your areas of concern and any previous experiences you’ve had with aesthetic treatments. This discussion allows Dr Allison to outline the most suitable and realistic treatment options available.
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 your individual circumstances and ensure that every step of care is medically sound.
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
-
Individual 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 typical treatment timeframes, how long results may last for individual patients, and what kind of maintenance schedule may be suitable for your circumstances. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions at every stage to support informed decision-making.
