Wrinkle Reduction Consultations
Consultations for wrinkle reduction will discuss the aging process and potential treatment options to address concerns of fine lines and wrinkles. When we age, fine lines typically start to occur in the upper face and can, over time, result in deeper, static wrinkles (wrinkles that are visibly 'etched' into the skin at rest). If you have concerns for areas where we age of the mid and lower face - the cheeks, around the mouth the chin and jawline, please book for a consultation for volume loss.
What to expect during a consultation for wrinkle reduction
Michelle will discuss the consultation form you filled out - your medical history, motivation for treatment, your concerns and expectations with treatment outcomes. You will be handed the mirror to show her the area/s of your concern and she will discuss treatment options (if applicable and you are deemed a suitable candidate for treatment), risks, pricing, downtime and aftercare. She will often mark your face with a pencil and discuss the aging process with you and advise how a treatment option may help address your skin concerns to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. If you're deemed a suitable candidate for treatment, and time permits on the day, you will be given consent forms for your specific treatment and your 'before' photos will be taken.
