Everything You Need to Know About Botox: FAQs from Our Plettenberg Bay Clients
Botox is one of the most popular and effective medical aesthetics treatments worldwide, and demand is growing in Plettenberg Bay and along the Garden Route. At Whole Health & Wellness Lab, we believe in informed, ethical care—so here are answers to the most frequently asked questions from our local clients.
What is Botox?
Botox® is a prescription medication used to temporarily relax specific facial muscles. This can soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles, most commonly on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.
Is Botox Safe?
When administered by a qualified medical doctor, Botox is a safe, well-researched treatment. At Whole Health & Wellness Lab, all Botox injections are performed by Dr. Ellenore Meyer, following strict clinical and ethical guidelines. Side effects are rare and typically mild, such as minor swelling or redness at the injection site.
What Results Can I Expect?
Results become visible within 3–7 days, with smoother, more refreshed-looking skin. The effects generally last 3–4 months. Each client's response is individual, and we always personalize the dose and treatment plan for optimal, natural-looking results.
Are There Any Local Regulations or Requirements?
Yes. In South Africa, Botox and similar products may only be prescribed and administered by a registered medical professional. At Whole Health & Wellness Lab, we adhere to all HPCSA regulations and provide full consultation, informed consent, and follow-up care.
