Common Wrinkle Reduction Treatment Questions — Answered by a Registered Nurse

At Contour Aesthetics in Mentone, we understand that exploring aesthetic treatments can come with a lot of questions, and that’s perfectly normal. Whether you’re simply looking to soften certain features, support your skin’s natural vitality, or explore options to help you feel more confident over time, we’re here to help you make informed, safe choices.

Below, we’ve outlined some of the most common questions clients ask during their consultations with us.

⸻

1. Will I look frozen or unnatural?

This is one of the most frequent concerns we hear. Our approach is all about supporting natural facial movement and working conservatively. Each treatment plan is tailored individually, with an emphasis on subtle, balanced outcomes that enhance, not change, your natural features.

2. How long do results typically last?

While individual experiences vary, many clients notice changes that last several months, depending on the area treated and personal factors like skin type and lifestyle. During your consultation, we’ll discuss realistic expectations and create a plan that suits your goals.

3. Does it hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch or mild sting. We always use a gentle, clinical approach and can offer comfort measures like cooling packs to help keep you as relaxed as possible.

4. What areas do clients usually ask about?

Common concerns that come up during consultations include:

• Softening forehead lines

• Addressing frown lines between the brows

• Reducing fine lines around the eyes

• Enhancing the lower face or chin area

• Managing concerns like excessive sweating

• Improving skin texture and tone on the face, neck and décolletage

We also offer consultations for PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments, which use your body’s own plasma to support skin quality and hair health.

5. How is PRP different from other options?

PRP uses a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate the plasma, which is then applied or injected to stimulate the skin. Many clients explore this for its potential to support overall skin texture, tone, and scalp vitality. Unlike other options that may involve prescription-only treatments, PRP is based on harnessing your body’s own natural resources.

6. How do I know what’s right for me?

Every client starts with a thorough consultation with Megan, our Registered Nurse with more than 20 years of clinical experience. We’ll discuss your concerns and goals, assess your facial structure and skin, and outline options that are clinically suitable for you. If a prescription-only treatment is indicated, this will always be determined during a personalised assessment.

⸻

7. Am I too old to start exploring treatments?

Absolutely not. Age is never a limiting factor. Many clients begin looking into aesthetic treatments in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. Our approach is always centred on working with your natural features, not altering them, to help you feel refreshed and confident.
