What is anti-wrinkle treatment and how can it help my lines and wrinkles?
Anti-wrinkle treatment is a non-surgical injectable procedure used to relax specific facial muscles that cause expression lines, such as frown lines, forehead creases and crow’s feet. By gently reducing muscle activity in targeted areas, the overlying skin can appear smoother and less creased, without needing surgery.
Rather than changing how you look, the goal is to soften harsh or tired-looking lines so your face appears more rested and refreshed. For many patients, this is a way to address early signs of ageing, or to manage deeper lines, while still feeling like themselves. We discuss your concerns in detail and design a plan that suits your individual facial features and expectations.
At a consultation, we assess your medical history, current medications, and how your facial muscles move when you speak, smile and frown. This assessment allows us to decide whether anti-wrinkle treatment is appropriate, which areas may benefit, and how conservative or extensive your treatment should be.
Is anti-wrinkle treatment at a Roodepoort dental practice suitable for Fourways patients?
Many people from Fourways prefer to have their facial aesthetics done in a calm, professional setting away from the busiest hubs. Our practice is based in Amorosa, Roodepoort, and welcomes patients from Fourways and surrounding areas who are looking for subtle, dental-led facial rejuvenation. Because we focus on the relationship between your teeth, smile and facial structure, we can integrate anti-wrinkle treatment into a broader plan for your overall appearance.
Anti-wrinkle treatment may suit you if you are concerned about frown lines, forehead creases, lines around the eyes or other expression-related wrinkles, and you want a non-surgical option. It is often chosen by patients who wish to look more rested for work, social events or simply personal confidence. It is not suitable for everyone, and certain medical conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or specific medications can make treatment inappropriate.
At your first visit, we assess your goals, examine your facial muscles and discuss your health in detail. This allows us to confirm whether anti-wrinkle treatment is right for you as a Fourways-based patient, or whether alternative or additional options should be considered. All treatment decisions are made collaboratively during this consultation.
What happens during an anti-wrinkle treatment appointment at your Roodepoort practice?
Your appointment starts with a focused consultation, even if you have had anti-wrinkle treatment elsewhere before. We review your medical history, previous aesthetic treatments, and any specific areas that bother you. Photographs may be taken with your consent so we can record your starting point and plan treatment accurately.
Once a treatment plan has been agreed, the skin is cleansed and marked to guide injection placement. Very fine needles are used to administer small amounts of anti-wrinkle product into selected facial muscles. Most people describe the sensation as brief and manageable, and appointments are usually relatively quick. You remain awake and can ask questions throughout.
After the injections, you receive instructions on what to do and what to avoid for the remainder of the day and the following few days. We discuss expected timelines, as results tend to develop gradually over several days. A follow-up visit may be advised so we can assess how your muscles have responded and make small adjustments if needed. All of these steps are planned during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
What risks and side effects should I know about before having anti-wrinkle treatment?
Anti-wrinkle treatment is widely used, but it still involves medical injections and carries potential risks. Common short-term effects can include redness at injection sites, mild swelling, small bruises or temporary tenderness. These usually settle over a few days, and we explain how to manage them at home.
Less common side effects can include headache, a feeling of heaviness in the treated area, or unwanted changes in muscle activity, such as eyebrow asymmetry or eyelid drooping if product spreads beyond the intended muscle. These effects are typically temporary but can be distressing, which is why precise assessment and careful injection technique are important.
Before any treatment, we go through your medical history and explain the potential risks, including rare allergic reactions or interactions with certain medications. You are encouraged to ask questions so you feel informed and comfortable. If we feel your risk profile is not suitable, we will explain this clearly and recommend alternative options. All risk discussions and decisions are handled in person at your consultation.
How much does anti-wrinkle treatment cost for Fourways patients visiting Roodepoort?
Cost for anti-wrinkle treatment is influenced by several factors, rather than a single fixed fee. Key drivers include how many facial areas are treated, how strong your muscles are, the amount of product required, and whether your case is straightforward or more complex. Treating one small area is generally in the $ tier, while multiple areas or higher doses often fall into the $$ or $$$ tiers.
Other aspects that affect cost are the type of product used, the expertise involved in planning and delivering your treatment, and any review or adjustment appointments. Longer-lasting or more involved treatment plans tend to sit in the higher tiers because they require more time, material and follow-up care.
During your consultation, we discuss your goals and budget openly. 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 on average?
Results from anti-wrinkle treatment are temporary and usually last a few months before gradually wearing off, as the treated muscles slowly regain their activity. The exact duration depends on your individual muscle strength, lifestyle and how regularly you maintain treatments. Some people prefer more frequent, lighter sessions, while others space treatments further apart. We discuss your expectations and typical timelines during your consultation so you can plan ahead.
Will anti-wrinkle treatment make my face look frozen or unnatural?
Many patients worry that anti-wrinkle treatment will leave them with an expressionless look. When planned carefully, the intention is to soften specific lines while keeping natural movement in other areas, so you still look like yourself. We assess how your face moves when you talk, smile and frown, and design a conservative plan first, especially if it is your introduction to treatment. Adjustments can be made at review visits based on how you feel about your result.
Am I a good candidate for anti-wrinkle treatment at your Roodepoort practice?
Suitability depends on your health, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and your goals for treatment. Anti-wrinkle injections are generally aimed at adults with dynamic expression lines who are not pregnant or breastfeeding and who do not have certain neurological or muscle conditions. We can only confirm whether you are a good candidate after a full in-person consultation, where we review your medical history and examine your facial muscles in detail.
How should I prepare for my anti-wrinkle appointment if I am coming from Fourways?
Ahead of your appointment, it helps to note any medications, supplements and previous aesthetic treatments, and to think about which lines bother you most. On the day, arrive with clean skin and avoid heavy makeup around the planned treatment areas if possible. We advise you during the consultation about any specific habits or products to pause temporarily. All preparation guidance is personalised, based on your health and planned treatment, and discussed in person.
Does anti-wrinkle treatment hurt and will I need time off work?
Anti-wrinkle injections are given with very fine needles and most patients describe the sensation as brief and tolerable, with some mild stinging or pressure at each injection point. Any redness or small marks usually settle quickly. Many people feel comfortable returning to office-based work later the same day, especially if makeup can be reapplied after a short period. We advise you individually on activity and timing at your consultation, according to your job and lifestyle.
What aftercare is recommended once I have had anti-wrinkle treatment?
After treatment, you are usually advised to keep the treated area clean, avoid rubbing or massaging it, and follow specific activity guidelines for the rest of the day. Strenuous exercise or pressure over injection sites is commonly discouraged immediately after treatment. We provide written instructions tailored to your case, including what to watch for and when to contact us. All aftercare advice is explained in detail before you leave the practice.
How often will I need anti-wrinkle treatment to maintain my results?
Maintenance intervals vary from person to person and depend on your muscle strength, metabolism and aesthetic goals. Some patients prefer a regular schedule to keep lines consistently softer, while others allow results to fade more before deciding on another session. There is no single right pattern for everyone. During your consultation and follow-up visits, we assess how your face responds and work with you to plan a maintenance schedule that fits your preferences.
Can anti-wrinkle treatment be combined with other dental or facial procedures?
Yes, anti-wrinkle treatment is often combined with dental treatments such as smile makeovers, clear aligners or whitening, as well as other facial aesthetic procedures, to create a more harmonious overall result. Planning combinations needs careful timing and consideration of healing, muscle activity and how each procedure affects your appearance. We only suggest combinations after examining you and discussing your priorities, so any multi-step plan is designed in a safe, logical order during your consultation.
