About the procedure

What this procedure involves

This page is about consultations on reducing the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. Because treatments in this area involve prescription-only medicines, Australian regulations do not permit specific products or treatment types to be named or advertised. Dr Jassim Daood assesses suitability individually at the Bankstown clinic, and any treatment decision is made only after a consultation.

Recovery

Most people return to everyday activities the same day. Temporary redness, swelling or small bruises at the treated areas are possible and usually settle within days. Specific aftercare instructions are provided, including advice on activity and positioning in the first hours after treatment.

More about this procedure

Detailed information about this procedure. Select a section to read more.

Facial lines and wrinkles develop for many reasons, including repeated muscle movement, sun exposure, skin quality and natural ageing. A consultation on reducing the appearance of wrinkles begins with an assessment of your face at rest and in movement, your skin, your medical history and what concerns you.

Based on that assessment, Dr Daood discusses whether a non-surgical approach may be appropriate for you, what it can realistically achieve, and what the alternatives are, including doing nothing. Some people are better suited to other treatments, and this is part of what the consultation determines.

Treatments in this area involve prescription-only medicines in Australia, which is why specific products and treatment types cannot be advertised and why an in-person assessment is required before any treatment decision.

If treatment is appropriate, the areas to be treated, the expected duration of effect, aftercare and review are all discussed with you first, and written information is provided. There is no obligation to proceed after a consultation.

Most people return to everyday activities the same day, with some temporary redness, swelling or pinpoint bruising at the treated areas possible.

Specific aftercare instructions are provided, and a review appointment can be arranged to assess how the area has settled.
