Botox ® & Dysport ®

Fine lines, wrinkles and volume loss are all associated with ageing. At Skin Renewal, we understand that achieving long-lasting and natural-looking results often requires more than a single solution. While Botulinum Toxin injections are highly effective in reducing dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements, they work best as part of a holistic approach. By integrating multiple treatment modalities, Skin Renewal can address the visible signs of ageing and the underlying causes, delivering results beyond expectations.

Skin Renewal doctors receive extensive training in the latest global techniques and are experienced in ensuring that patients do not look 'overfilled'. Dr Maureen Allem and her medical team have a sound understanding of facial anatomy and use precise injectable and application techniques. The team insists on regular follow-ups and adjustments, vital for proper assessment and treatment progress.


What Causes Wrinkles?

Dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines, are just one aspect of skin ageing. Genetics, sun exposure, lifestyle choices, and overall skin health contribute to how wrinkles and fine lines form. To address these complexities, Skin Renewal offers advanced combination treatments designed to rejuvenate, restore, and protect your skin.

The way you live your life has a profound impact on how your skin ages. Overexposure to UV rays, poor diets, dehydration, smoking, stress, lack of sleep, and inactivity can accelerate wrinkles, fine lines, and dullness. While genetics and environmental factors play a role, your daily habits and choices can significantly influence the rate and visibility of ageing. At Skin Renewal, we believe in empowering you to make lifestyle changes that support your skin health and enhance the results of your treatments.


How Does Botox & Dysport Work?

Botulinum Toxin temporarily relaxes specific muscles by blocking nerve signals. This reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, creating smoother and more youthful skin. While effective, its temporary effects—lasting 3 to 6 months—make it ideal to pair with complementary treatments for enhanced and longer-lasting results.

Enhancing Botox and Dysport with Combination Treatments

Our Skin Renewal difference lies in our personalised treatment plans, guided by highly trained aesthetic doctors and therapists. We consider every patient's unique skin concern, lifestyle, and overall wellness to curate a treatment journey that achieves optimal results.

Supplements

Gut Health & IV Treatments

Why Choose Skin Renewal for Your Botulinum Injections?

Botulinum toxin treatments can have a profound emotional impact by enhancing self-esteem and overall well-being. Many individuals experience a significant boost in confidence as reducing fine lines and wrinkles aligns their external appearance with their inner vitality. This improved self-image can lead to greater comfort in social and professional settings, fostering positive interactions and stronger self-assurance. Additionally, Botulinum treatments often provide a sense of control over one’s ageing process, reinforcing feelings of empowerment and self-care.

frequently asked
questions

Are Botox® & Dysport® treatments available at all Skin Renewal clinics?
What are botulinum toxin treatments, and how do they work?

Botulinum toxin treatments, such as Botox® and Dysport® injections, temporarily inhibit muscle movement. This reduces the repetitive facial motions that cause wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.

How much Botox® or Dysport® is needed for each area?

The dosage of Botox® or Dysport® varies per patient due to factors such as muscle mass (men often require higher doses), individual facial expression levels, muscle recruitment post-treatment, biochemical differences (e.g., metabolism changes from fat burners), and skin condition (e.g., sun damage affecting treatment efficacy).

Are there any side effects or risks associated with botulinum toxin treatments?

Common risks include bruising and temporary headaches, while infections are rare. Allergic reactions to these brands are exceedingly uncommon. Although botulinum toxin doses are generally safe, caution is advised during pregnancy due to the lack of official risk studies in this regard.

What to expect after a Botox® or Dysport® injectable treatment?

After a Botulinum Toxin procedure, mild side effects like small bumps or redness at injection sites may occur but typically resolve within minutes to a few days. To prevent toxin diffusion, avoid lying down for 4 hours and exercising for 24 hours post-treatment. Regular skincare and makeup can be resumed immediately.

To minimise bruising, avoid aspirin or high-dose Vitamin E for 48 hours before the

How long does Botox® or Dysport® last?

Results from botulinum toxin treatment appear within 4 days, with full effects by 14 days, lasting up to 4 months, depending on dosage and response. "Baby Botox®" uses half the dose for a shorter effect (6–8 weeks), which is ideal for actors who need expressions.

Repeated treatments may prolong results, though hyperactive brows can shorten the duration due to faster toxin metabolism.

Can Botox® or Dysport® injections be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes, Botox® or Dysport® injections can be safely combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser treatments, to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Our doctors can create a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

I had such a pleasant experience at Skin Renewal Rosebank this afternoon. I have never been to this location, and I was warmly greeted and then looked after by Teresa, the concierge, who was lovely. Teresa gave me a mini-facial and head massage before my Botox, which was relaxing. I then met Dr Caitlin, who was also lovely and asked lots of questions about my Botox and face, which instilled confidence. She was extremely gentle, and I hardly felt a thing. She used ice on me and also gave me a little pot of Arnica gel as I said I bruise sometimes. Nothing was too much trouble, and it was all extremely calming and relaxing. An excellent experience, and I will be going there again- thank you!

I recently visited Skin Renewal on Florida Road and had an exceptional experience. Dr Nicolette is just amazing. As it was my first time doing Botox, she explained everything in detail and made the whole procedure comfortable, and I love the results I'm starting to see. Definitely my new favorite place.

Wonderful experience visiting Skin Renewal in Cape Quarter for aesthetics. Dr Tarryn was very kind and professional. The results from the treatment are exactly what I hoped for. Thank you for recommending the Zinc capsules. I will definitely be returning to Skin Renewal the next time I’m in Cape Town.

I’ve recently been treated by Dr Graham for some Botox, and honestly, this has been the most natural and stunning result ever! I look so brighter and more lively, and everything is SO lifted. Mind you, I am turning 30 this year, and people are shocked and think I am 22! This is the best I’ve ever looked :) I’ve been coming to Skin Renewal Branches for five years now & I can truly say that each branch is just so lux and tranquil. The ladies and Willowbridge branch have the most beautiful, inviting, and kind energies !! I am absolutely blessed & grateful to have met Dr Graham; he is so thorough & kind & I’ve never had such a thorough consultation; he is so kind and really is a master in his craft & as he said, we now have the “blueprint” for my face. Safe to say, I’ve found my doc for life !!! Thank you a million times, Skin Renewal Willowbridge team, for making me/ your clients feel their best selves!

I have been to a number of skin clinics in Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and London, and SkinRenewal has really impressed me. From the pristine reception to the pre-Botox facial cleanse to the service, friendliness and expertise of Dr Ross- one of the best experiences I’ve had.

I had an incredible experience here from start to finish. Upon arrival, the staff greeted me warmly with drinks and a towel, setting the tone for an exceptional visit. The clinic was spotless and beautifully maintained. The entire process was unlike anything I’ve experienced in America, and I appreciated how they guided me through each step. My facial was incredibly relaxing, and my skin felt amazing afterwards. For my next procedure, I had Botox with Dr Ross Connor, who was an absolute gem! Not only is he hilarious, but he’s also exceptionally skilled. My Botox results were noticeable within a week, which has never happened to me in the U.S. I wish he could come to America to do my Botox! I absolutely loved my experience and wholeheartedly recommend this place!

I would highly recommend Skin Renewal Bedfordview. Janet and her team are always so welcoming. Dr Lindsay is really attentive as she listens to her patients' needs and concerns. She talks one through the process and is exceptionally gentle and reassuring. She has not only gotten me to look younger, but she has also put me on a skin and therapeutic routine to address my rosacea. I am delighted with her and the results.
