As we age, it is inevitable that our facial skin begins to wrinkle and sag. This happens due multiple factors, with abnormal facial muscle dynamics, playing a major role in creating negative facial lines and thus the illusion of premature facial aging. 

Thankfully, there is BOTOX® .

BOTOX® is a Neurotoxin witch works in the Nerve-Muscle interface. The treatment works by blocking signals from the nerve to the muscle in a harmless way. The muscle movement returns to normal after a few months.

After the procedure, fine lines around your eyes will begin to relax, while frown and/or smile lines will appear less defined. Even the deepest stress lines between your eyebrows or concentration grooves in your forehead can be treated effectively.

The BOTOX® Procedure at Namibia-Aesthetics

A BOTOX® procedure can be performed in as little as 30 minutes in the Namibia-Aesthetics clinic. During your procedure, Dr Ernu de Villiers an experienced and fully trained Aesthetics Practitioner will:

• ask a few questions about your medical history to exclude contraindications
• explain possible complications or side effects
• take pre-procedural photographs for your future reference
• plan and explain your session to you
• finally, inject your facial muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions about BOTOX®

Q. How soon will I see results?

A. You will begin to see the relaxing effects between 5 and 14 days after your procedure.

Q. How long do results last with BOTOX®?

A. Results initially typically last between 3 and 4 months, after which muscle movement will return. Follow-up treatments are essential to maintain your results. The more treatments you have had, the longer the effect of each treatment will last.

If you experience any of these rarer and more serious side effects, please seek medical advise immediately. 

The Namibia-Aesthetics employs only the most highly trained Practitioners, who work hard to reduce all possible side effects.
