What exactly is anti-wrinkle treatment and how does it work?
Anti-wrinkle treatment is an injectable medicine used to temporarily relax specific facial muscles that cause lines when you frown, smile or raise your eyebrows. By calming these muscles, the overlying skin creases less, so wrinkles appear softer and your expression looks more relaxed.
Common areas include frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines and fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes. During your consultation at Dr Chalita le Roux Inc in Roodepoort, we examine how your face moves, which muscles are overactive, and whether anti-wrinkle treatment is the right option for you. All dosing decisions and injection points are planned in person to suit your unique facial features.
The aim is not to freeze your face, but to reduce harsher lines while keeping natural expression. Dr Chalita le Roux, a dentist with training in facial aesthetics and a member of the South African Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (SAAAD), focuses on subtle changes that blend well with your smile and overall appearance.
Who is a good candidate for anti-wrinkle treatment in Roodepoort, Johannesburg?
Anti-wrinkle treatment is suitable for generally healthy adults who are bothered by dynamic wrinkles – lines that appear or deepen when you frown, squint or raise your eyebrows. Many patients are professionals who want to look fresher or less tired, or parents who feel their outward appearance does not reflect how energetic they still feel.
It may be a good option if you have noticeable frown lines, forehead lines or crow’s feet, and you prefer a non-surgical approach with minimal downtime. During your consultation at our Amorosa, Roodepoort practice, we discuss your medical history, medications, previous aesthetic treatments and expectations in detail.
There are situations where anti-wrinkle treatment is not appropriate, such as certain neurological conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or specific allergies. We assess these factors in person and will recommend alternative approaches when needed, such as skincare upgrades or dermal fillers for static lines that remain even when your face is at rest.
What happens during an anti-wrinkle treatment appointment with Dr Chalita le Roux?
Your visit starts with a detailed consultation where we talk through your concerns, examine your face at rest and in movement, and take clinical photos if appropriate. We identify which muscle groups are driving your wrinkles and discuss realistic outcomes, potential side effects and aftercare instructions before anything is done.
If you proceed, the skin is cleaned and marked, and small, precise injections are placed into selected muscles using a fine needle. Most patients describe the sensation as brief pinpricks that are well tolerated. Treatment typically focuses on a few key areas, but every injection pattern is personalised after the consultation.
You can usually go back to your day shortly afterward, with some common-sense restrictions explained clearly in the practice. Before you leave, we schedule or discuss a follow-up review, especially if this is your first time having anti-wrinkle treatment, so we can see how your face responds and adjust future dosing if needed.
What results, risks and side effects should I expect from anti-wrinkle treatment?
Early results usually start becoming visible within a few days, with full effect commonly seen after about two weeks. At that point, treated lines are typically softer and your expression looks more relaxed, while untreated areas move as usual. The effect gradually wears off over a number of months, and many patients choose maintenance sessions to keep a similar look over time.
Like any medical treatment, anti-wrinkle injections carry potential risks and side effects. Short-term issues may include small injection-site marks, mild swelling, redness, bruising or a headache, which usually settle quickly. Less common effects can include asymmetry, unwanted heaviness of the brows or eyelids, or reduced movement in an area you wanted to keep more active.
At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc, risks are discussed openly and in detail during your consultation. We plan conservative dosing initially, especially for new patients, then adjust gradually once we see how your face responds. You are given clear aftercare instructions and advised when to contact us if something feels unusual, so that any concern can be assessed and managed promptly in person.
How much does anti-wrinkle treatment cost and what affects the price?
The cost of anti-wrinkle treatment in Roodepoort, Johannesburg varies from patient to patient and depends on several clinical factors rather than a fixed menu price. Key cost drivers include how many facial areas are treated (for example forehead, frown and crow’s feet versus a single area), the amount of product required to achieve your goals, and the complexity of your facial anatomy and muscle strength.
Additional elements that influence cost include whether you combine anti-wrinkle treatment with dermal fillers or other aesthetic procedures, and the experience and planning involved in keeping results subtle and appropriate for your face. In simple cases treating a small area, the overall cost tends to be closer to the $ tier; more comprehensive, multi-area plans or combination treatments are more often in the $$ to $$$ range.
During your consultation with Dr Chalita le Roux, we examine your face carefully, discuss your priorities and outline different treatment approaches. An exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.

Frequently asked questions
How long do anti-wrinkle treatment results last?
Anti-wrinkle treatment results are temporary. Most patients notice a gradual softening of lines for several months before movement slowly returns to its previous pattern. The exact duration depends on your muscle strength, metabolism, how often you have had treatment before and which areas are treated. We review this in person and can plan maintenance visits at intervals that make sense for your face and schedule.
Will I still be able to move my face and express myself after treatment?
Yes, the goal of anti-wrinkle treatment at Dr Chalita le Roux Inc is to soften specific lines while keeping your natural expression. By targeting selected muscles and using carefully measured doses, we aim to reduce harsh frown or squint lines without removing all movement. During your consultation, we discuss how much change you are comfortable with and adapt the treatment plan to preserve expressions that feel like you.
Is anti-wrinkle treatment safe when done by a dentist?
Anti-wrinkle injections are widely used in medical and dental settings, and safety depends on the training and judgment of the clinician rather than their exact discipline. As a dentist and SAAAD member, Dr Chalita le Roux has detailed knowledge of facial anatomy and has completed additional training in facial aesthetics. We follow strict protocols, use approved products and discuss risks thoroughly so you can make an informed decision in person.
How do I know if I need anti-wrinkle treatment or dermal fillers?
Anti-wrinkle treatment works well suited to dynamic lines caused by muscle movement, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Dermal fillers are more suited to restoring lost volume or softening deeper static lines that remain even when your face is relaxed. In many cases, a combination gives the most natural result. We assess your face during the consultation, explain how each option would work in your case, and then recommend the right plan for you.
Does anti-wrinkle treatment hurt and is there downtime?
Most patients describe the injections as quick, sharp pinpricks that are tolerable without significant discomfort. The treatment is done using a fine needle and is usually completed within a short appointment. You can generally return to normal daily activities soon afterwards, with some simple precautions explained clearly at the practice. Any minor redness or swelling at the injection sites tends to settle quickly, but we review all expected effects with you beforehand.
How much does anti-wrinkle treatment cost at your Roodepoort practice?
Cost varies from person to person and is driven mainly by how many areas are treated, the amount of product needed, and whether treatment is straightforward or more complex. Single-area, lower-dose plans tend to fall closer to the $ tier, while multi-area or combined aesthetic treatments are more likely in the $$ to $$$ range. During your consultation, we design a plan around your goals and budget, and an exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.
How soon will I see results after anti-wrinkle treatment?
You may notice early changes within a few days as targeted muscles start to relax, but the full effect usually becomes clear after about two weeks. At that stage, the treated lines should appear softer and your expression more relaxed. If this is your first treatment, we often schedule or suggest a review around this time to assess the outcome together and adjust future dosing if needed. All timing and follow-up plans are discussed in person.
