Movement and resting lines
A line that appears with expression and a crease that remains at rest may need different approaches. Looking at both helps the practitioner explain what muscle relaxation can realistically change.

Botulinum Toxin Injections (Per Unit) in Hartbeespoort
Anti-wrinkle injections are used to soften selected expression lines by temporarily reducing muscle activity. The consultation considers how your face moves, the change you want and whether an injectable treatment is appropriate for you.
View prices and optionsAbout Botulinum Toxin (Tox) Per Unit
Botulinum toxin acts on communication between nerves and the injected muscles. Reducing the pull of a selected muscle can soften movement-related lines, such as lines that appear when you frown or squint. This is different from adding volume with dermal filler: toxin does not replace lost facial volume, remove excess skin or address every cause of a visible crease.

Is this treatment right for me?
A consultation should separate movement-related lines from volume loss and skin-quality concerns before a treatment plan is suggested.
Considerations before treatment
A plan for your facial expression
The intended balance between softening a line and retaining movement should be discussed before treatment. Results depend on anatomy, product and placement; a natural-looking result cannot be guaranteed by a menu label.
Gradual, temporary changes
The result develops over the days after treatment rather than being complete immediately. Muscle activity returns over time, so assessment and follow-up matter more than judging the result as you leave the appointment.
What to expect
Discuss the lines you notice
Show the practitioner the expressions and areas that concern you. Describe previous injections and your preferred degree of movement, and discuss relevant medical history before a plan is proposed.
Understand the proposed treatment
The practitioner assesses muscle activity and explains the product, planned areas, likely benefits and risks. Injections follow the agreed plan; the menu does not determine an individual dose or guarantee symmetry.
Allow time for assessment
Small injection-site changes can occur before the intended muscle effect develops. Obtain the written aftercare and review arrangements, and follow the practitioner’s advice rather than seeking an early additional treatment.
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Mention medication, muscle or nerve conditions, previous reactions and any swallowing or breathing problems.
- Obtain individual preparation instructions without stopping prescribed medication yourself.
- Bring details of previous toxin or filler treatments, including product names and dates if known. Explain whether you want a subtle change or a stronger reduction in movement.
After your appointment
- Follow the injector’s product-specific activity and skin-care instructions; do not add unapproved touch-up treatment yourself.
- Seek urgent medical help for breathing or swallowing difficulty or widespread weakness after toxin injections. Contact the practitioner about other unexpected effects.
- Avoid judging the final effect immediately after treatment. Use the agreed review appointment to discuss movement, balance and any concerns once the practitioner says assessment is appropriate.

FAQs
How do anti-wrinkle injections differ from dermal filler?
Toxin reduces activity in selected muscles; filler adds support or volume in selected tissues. They address different aspects of facial ageing. The consultation should explain which mechanism relates to your concern, rather than treating the two procedures as interchangeable.
Can toxin remove a line that is visible when my face is relaxed?
Muscle relaxation may soften an expression-related component, but a resting crease can also involve skin changes and volume loss. The practitioner should explain the limits of toxin for the particular line and discuss alternatives where appropriate.
What does per unit mean, and how is my treatment plan decided?
A unit measures the activity of a particular toxin product. The practitioner determines the proposed treatment from your anatomy, movement and goals. Units are not interchangeable between different toxin products, and the listing does not prescribe how many units you need.
When will I see results and how long might they last?
Changes develop over days, and the assessment may be scheduled around two weeks after treatment. Effects commonly last a few months, but timing varies with the product, area and individual response. Ask for expectations for your actual treatment rather than relying on a fixed maintenance promise.
Will treatment necessarily leave my face looking frozen?
The desired degree of movement is part of planning the treatment. Product, dose and placement influence the outcome, but no pricing method or technique guarantees a particular expression. Discuss what you want to retain as well as what you want to soften.
What recovery or side effects should I discuss?
Redness, small injection-site bumps, tenderness or bruising may occur. Ask about activity, review and how to obtain help. Breathing or swallowing difficulty or widespread weakness after toxin treatment needs urgent medical assessment; it is not ordinary cosmetic recovery.
