Expression & Fine Lines Consultations
Fine lines and changes in facial expression naturally develop as our faces move and age. If you would like to understand your options, Origin Skin offers private consultations. For more information why we cannot advertise details of this service click here.
What affects fine lines & wrinkles?
Expression lines develop where repeated facial movement folds the skin, commonly around the eyes, forehead and between the brows. Over time, lines that initially appear only with movement can become more noticeable at rest as the skin naturally changes.
​
Fine lines are also influenced by ageing, genetics, sun exposure and environmental or lifestyle factors. There is no single “right” amount of facial movement or lining. Whether you would simply like information or want to explore your options is entirely personal.
Common Causes & Contributing Factors
Facial movement
Smiling, squinting, frowning and raising the brows repeatedly move and fold the skin in characteristic areas of the face.
Natural ageing
Collagen, elastin and other structural components of the skin change over time, which can make lines more noticeable.
Lifestyle & environment
Factors including smoking and other environmental exposures can contribute to premature skin ageing and more noticeable facial lines.
Sun exposure
Cumulative UV exposure contributes to changes in collagen, elasticity and skin texture and is a major contributor to premature facial wrinkling.
Expectations & Recovery
Appointment Length
Consultation and treatment times will depend on your individual assessment and the options discussed with you.
Treatment Details
Due to Australian advertising rules, we cannot provide further public details about the treatment itself. During a private consultation, the appropriate practitioner can explain your options and answer your questions individually.
Treatment Sensation
Due to Australian advertising rules, we cannot describe the treatment itself publicly. We do, however, make client comfort a priority across all treatments offered at Origin Skin and will explain what you can expect before proceeding.
Information Limitation
Australian law restricts the public advertising of certain prescription-only treatments. This means there are limits on the treatment information we can provide on our website.
Read the TGA guidance on advertising prescription medicines.
Who is Suitable for this Treatment?
Consultations are suitable for adults who would like to understand changes in facial expression or fine lines and discuss what may be appropriate for them.
​
During a private consultation, the appropriate practitioner can provide a detailed explanation of the treatment itself, discuss your available options and assess your individual suitability. The TGA confirms that information provided privately by a health practitioner to their patient during consultation is not subject to the advertising restrictions for therapeutic goods.
​
Relevant medical history, medications, allergies and previous cosmetic or skin treatments should be disclosed as part of your assessment.
Why Choose Our Approach?
Origin Skin puts the person before the treatment. We will not recommend treatments we don't think you need, and we will offer non-invasive alternatives if this treatment does not suit your needs.
​
Where Australian advertising regulations limit the information we can publish publicly, more detailed information can be discussed privately in the appropriate consultation setting. You can ask questions about suitability, realistic expectations, risks, alternatives, costs and next steps without pressure to proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Australian advertising rules restrict the public advertising of prescription-only medicines used in some treatments. Rather than trying to work around those restrictions with suggestive terminology, we keep our public information focused on the consultation and provide treatment-specific information privately where appropriate.
Every advertiser is responsible for ensuring their own content complies with current Australian requirements. Some websites may use older terminology, have not updated post the regulations change, or take a different approach to compliance. Origin Skin chooses to follow the current TGA guidance to keep our clients safe and keep restricted treatment information out of our public advertising.
Yes. Contact Origin Skin to arrange an appropriate consultation. During a private consultation, the practitioner can discuss suitable treatment options, what they involve, expected outcomes, risks and alternatives based on your individual assessment.
Using a different brand or product name does not avoid the advertising restrictions. The TGA also warns against indirect references including trade names, acronyms, abbreviations, nicknames and other terminology where consumers could reasonably understand them as referring to a prescription-only medicine.
Where publishing pricing would advertise a restricted treatment or prescription-only medicine, we do not publish that information on this page. Relevant costs can be discussed privately when appropriate options are explained to you.
We make client comfort a priority across every treatment offered at Origin Skin. Because Australian advertising rules limit the treatment-specific information we can publish here, your practitioner will explain what the treatment may feel like and how your comfort will be managed before you decide whether to proceed.
You can contact the clinic to ask whether initial guidance from your photos is appropriate. Photos may help us understand what you would like to discuss, but they do not replace an individual assessment where one is required.
Yes. Treatments are administered by our qualified and very experienced Australian nurses.
