What Is Botox?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein used medically to relax muscles, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is most commonly applied to the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows, offering a refreshed and youthful appearance.

Treatment Process
Is Botox Right For You?
Always consult with a qualified cosmetic physician like Dr Lerissa Chetty at COSMEDIC to discuss your individual requirements and determine if Botox is the most suitable treatment for your aesthetic goals.
01
Non-Surgical Anti-Aging Solutions:
If you're looking for a way to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without undergoing surgery, Botox might be an ideal solution. It's particularly effective for dynamic wrinkles that appear due to facial expressions.
03
Realistic Expectations:
Understanding what Botox can and cannot do is crucial. Botox is highly effective for certain types of wrinkles and fine lines, but it's not a solution for all signs of aging. Having a clear and realistic expectation about the results will help determine if Botox is right for you.
02
Good Overall Health:
Ideal candidates for Botox are generally in good health without any neuromuscular diseases. It's important that you don't have any conditions that could interact negatively with the treatment.
04
No Pregnancy or Breastfeeding:
Botox is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you are planning to become pregnant, are currently pregnant, or breastfeeding, it's best to delay Botox treatments until later.
FAQ's
1 / How Quickly Will I See Results?
The time frame for seeing results varies depending on the treatment. Some may show immediate effects, while others require a few weeks. We'll discuss expected timelines during your consultation.
2 / Is the Treatment Painful?
Most treatments involve minimal discomfort. We prioritize your comfort and can discuss pain management options for more sensitive procedures.
3 / How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Each treatment is unique but generally includes a consultation, the treatment procedure itself, and a follow-up plan. We ensure a comprehensive approach for optimal care.
