Our exceptional experience with reducing the appearance of wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles increase as you age due to a depletion of collagen and elastin production, leading to skin laxity. Sun exposure, smoking habits, genetics and environmental factors, all exacerbate their appearance creating deeper lines which are more difficult to conceal.

Dr. Scott Allison, a Cosmetic Physician with over a decade experience, is an international trainer in cosmetic medicine. He believes in taking a natural-looking approach to diminish wrinkles effectively, and focuses on the prevention of drooping brows and further visible creases for a more youthful appearance.

As a Trainer & Key Opinion Leader for Allergan Aesthetics, Dr. Allison now educates fellow Doctors and Nurses on optimal treatment methods at prestigious international and national conferences. All of our staff are trained directly under his guidance, ensuring a consistently high-level of care throughout the clinic.

“The complete absence of lines and wrinkles as we age should not be the end goal, but rather a subtle softening of these lines. If we are strategic in how we address these concerns, we can also prevent the brows from dropping. Advanced treatments, such as laser and microneedling therapies can provide fantastic results to enhance your natural look for radiant, youthful skin.” – Dr. Scott Allison.

Areas of concern /

Forehead

Addressing wrinkles early can prevent forehead lines from forming or deepening and fill out finer lines that may exist. For deeper static wrinkles, we might suggest other cosmetic treatments in conjunction to smooth the forehead completely. Lasers can play a safe and effective role in achieving this result through collagen and elastin stimulation.

Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are fine lines that form on the outer corners of your eyes. These are caused by a loss of elasticity in the skin combined with early wrinkles caused by smiling and squinting. We can soften the lines around the eyes with targeted therapies that seek to smooth the area.

Frown Lines

Wrinkles between the eyebrows, known as “frown lines” can be prevented with specialised treatment plans. You may want to prevent the formation of dynamic fine lines or wish to relax the appearance of deeper static wrinkles to avoid looking angry or annoyed.

Lip Volume

By treating the area above the lip for wrinkles and fine lines, we can also enhance a person’s smile by reducing the visibility of gums and increasing the lip volume in some patients.

Chin Dimpling

We can often reduce dimpling and creasing in the chin to lengthen and smooth the area.

Your consultation at our Brisbane clinic

During your initial consultation, various aspects will be discussed to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the procedure and your specific needs. The consultation allows us to discuss expectations openly and create a treatment plan you can approve.

Firstly, your cosmetic concerns and treatment goals will be discussed. We will listen attentively to gain insight into what you hope to achieve through treating your fine lines and wrinkles. This discussion allows us to explain what can be realistically achieved.

Next, we will thoroughly examine your facial features, asking about the areas of your face where you have concerns regarding wrinkles or fine lines. We will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy, taking note of the dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements and expressions. This assessment helps us to determine the appropriate treatment plan required. We may also inquire about any allergies or previous cosmetic treatments. This information is crucial for determining your eligibility for the procedure.

The consultation will also involve a discussion about the procedure itself, including the type of product that will be used, the expected duration of the results, and any potential risks or side effects. We can explain the technique involved, ensuring you understand the process and know what to expect during and after the treatment.

Finally, the financial aspect will be discussed. We will provide information about the cost of the treatment, any potential additional expenses, and the expected longevity of the results. We can also discuss the option of follow-up treatments and maintenance. Your treatment costs will depend on the personalised details of your procedure, so it is best to wait until having your consultation before making calculations.

Clinical PathwaysAnd Recommendations

Recommended treatments

At Ascension, we provide comprehensive cosmetic consultations, where your comfort, aesthetic preferences, facial anatomy and skin health are all considered to provide an ideal treatment plan tailored to your needs. You may benefit from a combination approach utilising different treatment methods and a number of sessions, which we will discuss during your consultation.

CO2 Laser

Causing ablation and coagulation at precisely targeted levels within the skin, the CO2 laser can resurface the skin, treating wrinkles and deep lines. The Co2 laser turns light energy into heat, which coagulates the targeted tissue.

Some patients may need multiple treatments, but just one treatment session may achieve noticeable results. Downtime is minor but can take about five to seven days, with minor discomfort and redness. The treatment results can continue to become noticeable for up to one year after the treatment.

Rejuran

Addressing skin hydration, fine lines, wrinkles, pores, and textural changes to enforce the integrity of the skin, Rejuran is a revolutionary bio-regenerative treatment that uses Polynucleotides (PN) to stimulate collagen producing cells. This approach relies on your natural potential for youthful radiance, which contributes to the minimising of dark circles and shadows.

Recovery time after Rejuran is minimal, with side-effects lasting only 1-2 days. Patients may see results soon after the treatment, but the deeper effects will occur over the following months while your skin repairs itself naturally.

Morpheus 8 RF Needling

Morpheus8 RF Needling combines radio-frequency (RF) technology with microneedling, stimulating the body’s healing response to increase collagen and elastin production.

Multiple treatment sessions of Morpheus8 can work best to improve collagen loss. Downtime is minimal, with some redness and discomfort that should subside shortly after your treatment session. Your results will appear over time, as the skin produces more collagen and elastin.

WonderFace

WonderFace is a groundbreaking, non-invasive facial toning and rejuvenation treatment that lifts, sculpts and smooths the face in just 30 minutes. As the only treatment to synchronise neuromuscular stimulation with radiofrequency (RF) technology, WonderFace works beyond the surface, targeting both the skin and underlying muscles for real, lasting results. Neuromuscular stimulation strengthens and tones facial muscles, enhancing definition and restoring volume, while RF technology boosts collagen and elastin production to firm and tighten the skin.

Skin Needling and Exosomes

Microneedling with exosomes is an advanced cosmetic treatment that combines advanced skin rejuvenation techniques to address fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing. This powerful duo works synergistically to repair and regenerate skin at a cellular level, delivering natural and long-lasting results. Microneedling creates microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes and boosting collagen and elastin production. When paired with exosomes—tiny, cell-derived vesicles rich in growth factors and proteins—this treatment amplifies skin regeneration. The exosomes penetrate through the micro-channels created, accelerating cell turnover, enhancing hydration and improving skin elasticity.

Patients often notice a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, improved texture and a more radiant complexion within weeks. Over time, this treatment strengthens the skin’s foundation, offering long-term aesthetic benefits like enhanced skin tone, reduced pigmentation and pores, making it an excellent choice for those seeking natural, subtle results.
