Thinking About Early Solutions for Fine Lines?

What Are Preventative Ageing Treatments? Dr Scott Allison Explains

Many of us are familiar with preventative ageing treatment but how often do we consider using them as a preventative strategy rather than a corrective one?

Preventative cosmetic treatments are an effective way to maintain youthful skin before visible signs of ageing start to appear. Instead of waiting to address fine lines or wrinkles once they have set in, taking action early may help delay or even prevent their development. If you’re in your mid-to-late twenties and starting to notice subtle changes in your skin, now could be a great time to explore your options with Dr Scott Allison.

Of course, everyone’s skin and lifestyle are different. That’s why a personalised consultation is always the best place to start. If you’re curious about the health of your skin or wondering if a preventative approach might be right for you, reach out to us at www.drscottallison.com.au for more information.

Let’s take a closer look at how these treatments work.

What Makes Preventative Cosmetic Treatments So Effective?

The principle behind these treatments is to relax the facial muscles responsible for creating dynamic lines before those lines become deeply etched into the skin. By limiting repetitive muscle movements early on, it’s possible to maintain a smoother, more refreshed appearance for longer.

This approach is most commonly considered in a person’s late twenties or early thirties, before fine lines begin to settle into the skin. By gently softening muscle activity in targeted areas, it reduces the likelihood of static wrinkles forming over time.

How Does It Work?

When we express emotions, we naturally contract facial muscles. These movements pull on the skin and create temporary lines, such as those that appear when we smile or frown. Over time, especially as the skin loses elasticity, these lines can become permanent features of the face.

The treatment uses a refined protein that temporarily relaxes these muscles. This softens the appearance of facial lines and helps prevent them from becoming more pronounced as time goes on.

Will It Look Unnatural?

One of the most common concerns is whether this kind of treatment will lead to a “frozen” appearance. When performed by an experienced practitioner, the results should appear balanced, natural and expressive.

The goal is not to eliminate movement, but to reduce the intensity of certain muscle contractions that lead to deep lines. For example, gentle forehead lines or soft crow’s feet can still contribute to a natural, approachable look. A skilled provider like Dr Scott Allison will assess your unique features and tailor the treatment to maintain your ability to express yourself fully.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Results typically last between two to four months, depending on the area treated and how your body responds. Over time, the effects gradually wear off as muscle activity returns. With regular sessions, you can maintain a smoother appearance and continue to reduce the development of deeper lines.
