Unlocking Youthful Radiance with Botulinum Toxin Injectable Treatments

Botulinum Toxin, commonly referred to as Botox® or Dysport®, is a prescription medication revered for its cosmetic abilities in diminishing wrinkles. Administered by skilled professionals at Skin Renewal, these injections work by intercepting nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkles. 

FDA-approved for addressing moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines, Botox® or Dysport® injections are a minimally invasive procedure performed by our adept doctors at Skin Renewal. The procedure is virtually painless, with noticeable results manifesting within 10-14 days post-injection. 

It's crucial to grasp that Botox® or Dysport® offers a temporary fix. Its effects typically last 3 to 4 months before muscle movement resumes, necessitating a repeat procedure to maintain results. 

Dynamic vs. Static Wrinkles: 

Understanding the nature of wrinkles is pivotal. Dynamic wrinkles, born from facial expressions and repetitive movements, are effectively targeted by Botox® or Dysport®. These wrinkles, which deepen with age, can be softened and prevented from becoming static wrinkles, which persist even at rest. 

Areas of Treatment: 

Botox® or Dysport® for Upper Face: Targeting dynamic wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, these injections provide a rejuvenating lift, erasing worry lines and enhancing a relaxed, approachable visage. 

Botox® or Dysport® for Lower Face: In skilled hands, it can extend its benefits to the lower face, mitigating permanent mouth frowns and barcode lines and facilitating a subtle jowl and neck lift, restoring youthful contours. 

Expanding Applications: 

Skin Renewal's Microtox Glow Facial:

Experience the Microtox Glow Facial, a cutting-edge skincare solution seamlessly combining micro-needling techniques with specialised Botulinum application (no injections involved). This meticulously crafted treatment is designed to invigorate and elevate the skin's natural radiance and texture, providing a rejuvenating skincare experience.

For personalised guidance and a doctor-led approach to Botox® or Dysport® treatments, we encourage you to consult with our knowledgeable professionals at Skin Renewal. Let us embark on a journey to unlock your youthful radiance, one injection at a time. 

frequently asked
questions

Are Botox® & Dysport® treatments available at all Skin Renewal clinics?
What are botulinum toxin treatments, and how do they work?

Botulinum toxin treatments, such as Botox® and Dysport® injections, temporarily inhibit muscle movement. This reduces the repetitive facial motions that cause wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.

How much Botox® or Dysport® is needed for each area?

The dosage of Botox® or Dysport® varies per patient due to factors such as muscle mass (men often require higher doses), individual facial expression levels, muscle recruitment post-treatment, biochemical differences (e.g., metabolism changes from fat burners), and skin condition (e.g., sun damage affecting treatment efficacy).

Are there any side effects or risks associated with botulinum toxin treatments?

Common risks include bruising and temporary headaches, while infections are rare. Allergic reactions to these brands are exceedingly uncommon. Although botulinum toxin doses are generally safe, caution is advised during pregnancy due to the lack of official risk studies in this regard.

What to expect after a Botox® or Dysport® injectable treatment?

After a Botulinum Toxin procedure, mild side effects like small bumps or redness at injection sites may occur but typically resolve within minutes to a few days. To prevent toxin diffusion, avoid lying down for 4 hours and exercising for 24 hours post-treatment. Regular skincare and makeup can be resumed immediately.

To minimise bruising, avoid aspirin or high-dose Vitamin E for 48 hours before the

How long does Botox® or Dysport® last?

Results from botulinum toxin treatment appear within 4 days, with full effects by 14 days, lasting up to 4 months, depending on dosage and response. "Baby Botox®" uses half the dose for a shorter effect (6–8 weeks), which is ideal for actors who need expressions.

Repeated treatments may prolong results, though hyperactive brows can shorten the duration due to faster toxin metabolism.

Can Botox® or Dysport® injections be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes, Botox® or Dysport® injections can be safely combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser treatments, to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Our doctors can create a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Upon walking through the doors, you will already know that you’re in good hands. It is such a beautiful, luxurious salon. Everyone I interacted with made me feel very welcome and, most importantly, heard and seen. I love their evidence-based approach. Dr Ross recommended some products to address my most important skin concerns, and despite trying numerous products before, the cleanser and moisturiser has almost entirely cleared up my skin within only a few weeks. I have always been very hesitant about facials, but I am very excited about my first treatment with Skin Renewal.

I highly recommend Skin Renewal Willowbridge. I was in the Free State and developed a skin condition. Dr Dalize Willemse went the extra mile to not only call back, but her expertise, knowledge, care, and help put me on the right track until I could see her again in the Cape! She is competent in all respects, and people you miss out on if you do not use her services! Then the people in the front shop suggested with their kindness and help! I cannot single out because everyone is excellent, but I want to single out Chantelle, who ensured Dr Dalize received all my messages! Your cooperation saved me from an embarrassing skin condition! Many, many thanks!
