Wrinkle Consultations in Perth

Lines around the eyes, forehead lines or wrinkles caused by laughing, frowning, smoking or worrying become more common with age. Wrinkles can also be exacerbated by the natural loss of collagen and elastin in our skin, along with environmental factors like sun exposure and smoking.

Signs of ageing can appear on different areas of the face and neck, depending on the person’s natural anatomy, expressions, and skin quality. Dr Quinn offers personalised consultations for patients with cosmetic concerns, suited to people between the ages of 18 to 65. You can learn more about his approach to wrinkles at your individual consultation with Dr Quinn.

Suitable candidates are individuals who:

• Do not qualify or want facelift (rhytidectomy) surgery.
• Are generally in good health.
• Have no counteracting medical conditions.
• Are experiencing facial wrinkles in the forehead area.

At your consultation with Dr Paul Quinn, he will thoroughly go over all factors related to the appearance of wrinkles, including whether or not there may be a suitable option for addressing your wrinkles, as well as what you can expect.

Different Categories of Wrinkles

Wrinkles can develop in various ways, each shaped by distinct causes. Dynamic wrinkles form through repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. These lines often appear as horizontal creases across the forehead, fine lines around the eyes (commonly called crow’s feet), or markings along the cheeks. With age, these expression lines can progress into static wrinkles, which remain visible even when the face is relaxed.

Static wrinkles are largely linked to the natural decline in skin elasticity combined with the effects of gravity. They often present as lines around the mouth, creases along the cheeks, and folds on the neck. Another form, known as fold wrinkles, tends to develop in areas where skin has descended over time, creating deeper grooves such as the nasolabial folds between the nose and mouth.

Identifying the specific type of wrinkle is an important step, which can be undertaken during a consultation. Dr Paul Quinn carefully evaluates each patient’s skin and wrinkle pattern to determine the best course of action.

What does the consultation involve?

Dr Quinn discusses with individual patients their condition, prior to going ahead with any treatment plan. This allows him to ascertain your needs and what you hope to get from your wrinkle treatment. It also allows you to get clarification on any details you are unsure about and to proceed with treatment from an informed standpoint. 

Dr Quinn will discuss your preferences with you to determine the approach that is most conducive to your desired results and natural features. You should also raise any health issues or medications you are taking, as this helps ensure all relevant factors are taken into account. 

You will also be advised about how to prepare for your treatment, and afterwards, how to care for your treated areas. Some side effects may be present, and these should fade with the proper aftercare. 

Duration

The duration will depend on the type of treatment undertaken, which will only be offered once a consultation is attended and Dr Quinn deems you a suitable candidate.
