Safe, effective wrinkle reduction treatment performed by an HPCSA-registered doctor.
What is Botulinum toxin?
Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a safe, non-surgical treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
By temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, Botulinum toxin softens expression lines, creating a refreshed and natural look.
How Does It Work?
A small amount of purified protein is carefully injected into specific facial muscles. Within a few days, muscle activity reduces, and lines caused by frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows begin to fade. Results typically last 3–4 months.
