Botox Treatments

The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, is a popular injectable that temporarily reduces or eliminates facial fine lines and wrinkles. The most commonly treated areas are frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet near the eyes. Several other areas have been treated such as thick bands in the neck, thick jaw muscles, lip lines and gummy smiles. Botulinum toxin is a purified substance that’s derived from bacteria. 

Injections block the nerve signals to the muscle in which it was injected. Without a signal, the muscle is not able to contract. The end result is diminished unwanted facial wrinkles or appearance.

It is widely recognised for its safety when administered by qualified professionals. It has a long history of successful use. At our dental clinic in Durbanville, we prioritise your safety, using only the highest quality products and adhering to stringent medical standards.

Most clients begin to see noticeable improvements within 3-7 days post-treatment. However, the full effect of botox typically manifests within two weeks. Factors like age, skin type, and the area treated can influence this timeline.

Ideal candidates for anti-wrinkle injections are individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines. It’s suitable for most adults who are in good health. Our consultation process helps determine if it is right for you based on your skin condition and aesthetic goals.
