What this means in practice at our Roodepoort office
The honest answer for most cases is that the right approach depends on what we find at the clinical examination. We provide a written treatment plan before any work begins, in line with HPCSA transparency guidelines.
Who this is right for
What to expect at your visit
Your first appointment combines a clinical examination, photographs and digital scans where relevant, and discussion of the treatment plan. We share the written treatment plan before any work begins. You are under no obligation to proceed after the consultation.
The practice is at Unit 2, Amorosa Office Park, Corner of Doreen Road and Lawrence Road, Amorosa, Roodepoort, 2040. Free on-site parking. Open in Google Maps.
What this typically costs at our Roodepoort practice
We indicate cost using a tier system rather than specific Rand amounts because every case is different. After your consultation you receive a written treatment plan with a specific quote in Rand.
- $ – routine: general check-ups, hygiene, simple fillings, basic extractions.
- $$ – moderate: composite veneers per tooth, single ceramic crowns, in-chair whitening, root canal therapy.
- $$$ – significant: multi-tooth porcelain veneers, single dental implants with crown, complex restorative cases.
- $$$$ – major: full-arch implants (All-on-4), full smile makeovers, multi-visit reconstruction.
The practice does not bill medical aid directly – we provide a detailed practice statement which you submit to your scheme for reimbursement directly. Payment is by EFT, card, or cash on the day. Outcomes depend on the underlying clinical condition, the materials and techniques chosen, the aftercare you follow, and how well the plan fits your specific case.
Anti-wrinkle injections in Roodepoort: what we offer
At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. in Roodepoort, anti-wrinkle injections are offered as part of a broader facial and dental aesthetic service. Many patients visit us for cosmetic dentistry or clear-aligner treatment and also want their facial lines to match their new smile. Anti-wrinkle injections allow us to gently soften movement-related wrinkles while keeping your expressions looking natural.
During your consultation, Dr Chalita le Roux, BChD cum laude (UP 2020), HPCSA DP 0118702, SAAAD member, will assess your facial muscles, skin quality and medical history. Together you’ll discuss which areas bother you most, what is realistically achievable, and whether injections on their own are appropriate or should be combined with other care, such as skincare or dental treatment to improve tooth display and support.
Treatment is done in a calm, clinical setting at our Amorosa rooms, using very fine needles and carefully calculated dosing based on muscle strength and facial symmetry. The focus is on subtle refinement, not a “frozen” look. You will receive clear aftercare instructions and a review appointment can be scheduled to check results and adjust if needed. Because this is a medical procedure, we do not treat patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular conditions, and we will refer you back to your doctor when it is safer to proceed.
How anti-wrinkle injections work to soften lines
Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles responsible for expression lines. When you frown, smile or squint, the muscles under your skin contract and repeatedly fold the skin in the same place. Over time these dynamic lines can become etched in, even when your face is at rest.
By placing tiny amounts of product into carefully selected muscles, nerve signals that tell those muscles to contract are reduced. The muscles do not stop working completely; they simply become less intense. As the muscle relaxes, the overlying skin appears smoother and the lines soften. This is particularly effective for horizontal forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet around the eyes.
The injections act locally, in the treated muscles, and the effect is temporary. Your body gradually breaks down the neurotoxin over several months, after which normal muscle activity returns. This is why repeat treatments are needed to maintain the result. Because the dosing and placement are highly technique-sensitive, a proper facial and dental aesthetic assessment is essential to avoid unwanted effects like uneven brows or a heavy-looking forehead. The goal is a refreshed, rested look – not to change who you are.
Benefits of anti-wrinkle injections for your skin
Anti-wrinkle injections primarily target expression lines, but the benefits often extend beyond simply softening wrinkles. By reducing muscle movement in key areas, the skin over those muscles experiences less creasing throughout the day. This can help existing lines look less deep and, in some cases, may slow the formation of new dynamic wrinkles in high-movement areas such as the frown and crow’s feet.
Many patients report that they look less tired or stressed, even when the change is subtle. This can be especially helpful if deep frown lines give the impression of anger or worry that does not match how you feel. For patients undergoing cosmetic dental work at our Roodepoort practice, facial injections can complement treatments like veneers, whitening or clear-aligner therapy by aligning the skin and smile aesthetics.
Anti-wrinkle injections do not change skin texture in the same way as resurfacing treatments, but by limiting repetitive folding they may give the skin a smoother appearance over treated areas. Treatment is relatively quick, there is minimal downtime, and most people can return to normal activities straight afterwards, apart from a few short-term restrictions. The effect is temporary, which many patients appreciate, as it allows them to reassess their goals and adjust their treatment plan over time.
Common areas we treat with anti-wrinkle injections
At our Roodepoort practice, the most common areas requested for anti-wrinkle injections are those driven by strong, repetitive facial expressions. These include horizontal lines across the forehead, the vertical “11” lines between the eyebrows (the glabella), and crow’s feet radiating from the outer corners of the eyes. Treating these areas can help you look more rested and soften a worried or frowning appearance.
Depending on your facial anatomy and concerns, we may also discuss treating bunny lines on the sides of the nose, downturned corners of the mouth related to overactive depressor muscles, or a pebbled “orange peel” chin caused by a tight mentalis muscle. In some cases, small doses can be used to soften vertical neck bands or to refine a gummy smile as part of a broader dental and facial plan.
Not every area is suitable for every patient. The pattern and strength of your facial muscles, your age, skin thickness and existing volume loss all affect what is safe and effective to treat. During your consultation, Dr le Roux will assess your full face at rest and in motion, explain which areas are likely to respond well, and where alternative or additional options such as dermal fillers or dental interventions might be more appropriate.
Safety, side effects and who is a good candidate
Anti-wrinkle injections have been used medically for many years, and when administered by a trained clinician using registered products, they have a well-established safety profile. However, they are still a prescription medical treatment, not a beauty treatment, and a proper consultation is essential.
Common short-term side effects include small injection-site bumps, redness, mild swelling or bruising, which usually settle within hours to a few days. Less commonly, patients may experience a headache or a feeling of heaviness in the treated area. Rare side effects can include unwanted muscle weakness such as temporary eyelid or brow drooping if product diffuses into adjacent muscles. Serious reactions such as allergy or systemic effects are very rare but are discussed during consent.
Good candidates are generally healthy adults who are not pregnant or breastfeeding, have realistic expectations, and are bothered by movement-related lines rather than very loose or sun-damaged skin alone. Certain neuromuscular or neurological conditions, bleeding disorders, active skin infections in the area, and some medications may mean this treatment is not suitable. At Dr Chalita le Roux Inc., your medical history, current medications and previous aesthetic treatments are reviewed carefully, and if injections are not in your best interests, other options or a medical referral will be recommended.
When you see results and how long they last
Anti-wrinkle injections do not work instantly. After treatment, the product needs time to bind at the nerve endings in the targeted muscles. Most patients begin to notice a softening of movement and lines within 3–5 days, with the full effect usually evident at around two weeks. This is why follow-up assessments, if needed, are typically booked after that point rather than immediately after the injections.
How long results last varies from person to person and between different facial areas. On average, the smoothing effect is maintained for about three to four months, although some people may notice that certain areas wear off a bit faster or slower. First-time patients sometimes find their first treatment wears off slightly sooner, with effects lasting longer after a few treatment cycles as muscles become conditioned to being less active.
Once you feel movement returning and lines becoming more visible again, you can schedule a repeat appointment during our weekday hours. It is generally not advisable to “top up” too early, as there is a safe maximum dose for each area and over-treating can lead to an unnatural result. At each visit, your face is reassessed, and dosing is adjusted based on how you responded previously, your current goals and any changes in your health or medications.

Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections help to soften movement-related lines caused by frowning, squinting and raising the brows. This can make you look less tired or worried, even when the change is subtle. By reducing repetitive creasing, the treated skin often looks smoother and more relaxed. Results are temporary and adjustable, which allows your clinician to fine-tune the effect over time. Many patients at our Roodepoort practice also find that facial injections nicely complement cosmetic dental work and clear-aligner treatment.
How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?
You will not see the full effect immediately. Most people start noticing a difference after a few days, with optimal smoothing at around two weeks. On average, results last about three to four months, although this can vary depending on your metabolism, the area treated and how strong your muscles were to begin with. First-time treatments sometimes wear off a bit sooner, with later treatments often lasting slightly longer. Once movement returns, you can book a repeat session during our normal weekday hours.
Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?
When performed by a trained clinician using registered products, anti-wrinkle injections have a well-established safety record. They have been used in medicine for many years, both for cosmetic and therapeutic reasons. However, they are still prescription treatments with potential side effects, so proper assessment and informed consent are important. At our Roodepoort practice, your medical history, medications and previous procedures are reviewed before treatment. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions, injections may be postponed or avoided, and other options discussed.
What areas of the face can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections?
Common treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet around the eyes. Depending on your anatomy, we may also discuss treating bunny lines on the nose, a dimpled or pebbled chin, downturned mouth corners related to overactive muscles, or a gummy smile as part of a broader aesthetic plan. Not every area is suitable for every person. Your clinician will examine your face at rest and in movement and recommend areas where injections are likely to be safe and effective.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with anti-wrinkle injections?
Most side effects are mild and temporary. These can include small injection-site bumps, redness, swelling or bruising, which usually resolve within a few days. Some people experience a short-lived headache or a feeling of tightness or heaviness. Less common risks include unwanted muscle weakness, such as temporary brow or eyelid drooping if product spreads to nearby muscles. Serious reactions are rare but possible, which is why a full medical history, proper dosing and correct injection technique are essential. Any concerning symptoms after treatment should be reported to your clinician promptly.
How much do anti-wrinkle injections cost in Roodepoort?
The cost of anti-wrinkle injections in Roodepoort depends on the areas treated, the amount of product required and the experience of the provider. At our practice, pricing typically falls in the $$–$$$ range per treatment session, with tailored plans based on your goals and facial muscle activity. A clear quote is provided after your in-person assessment, before any treatment goes ahead. We do not bill medical aids directly; instead, we give you a detailed practice statement which you can submit to your scheme for reimbursement according to your benefits.
What happens during an anti-wrinkle injection appointment?
Your appointment starts with a consultation where your concerns, medical history and medications are discussed. Your clinician examines your face at rest and while you frown, smile and raise your brows to map out the muscles. After cleaning the skin, a very fine needle is used to place small amounts of product into targeted muscles. The injections usually take just a few minutes. You may feel brief stinging or pressure, but most people tolerate it well. Afterwards, you receive aftercare guidance and may schedule a review visit about two weeks later.
How do I choose a qualified anti-wrinkle injection provider in Roodepoort?
Look for a registered medical or dental professional with specific training and experience in facial aesthetics. Check credentials, such as degrees, HPCSA registration and relevant memberships, and make sure consultations are done in a proper clinical setting, not at informal venues. A good provider will take a full medical history, explain benefits and risks clearly, avoid pressuring you, and offer realistic outcomes rather than exaggerated promises. In Roodepoort, you can contact practices like Dr Chalita le Roux Inc. and ask about their clinician’s training, approach and follow-up policy.
