Small, thoughtful changes, such as softer lines or better balance, can refresh how you look and feel. As a dentist in Cape Town, Dr Theo Botha offers measured facial aesthetics treatments designed to complement your smile and respect facial harmony.
What is facial aesthetics?
Facial aesthetics focuses on enhancing facial balance with minimally invasive treatments. The aim is to refine, not replace. Subtle adjustments can smooth dynamic lines, restore gentle volume, and support healthy skin quality. Your plan is guided by proportions, symmetry, and how your face moves when you speak and smile.
Which treatment options are available?
TSB Dental and Facial Aesthetics provides a considered range of treatments that can be used alone or combined:
- Anti-wrinkle treatments for softening expression lines and facial slimming, where appropriate
- Dermal fillers for lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, and tear trough
- Non-surgical thread lifts to support contour in selected areas
- Skin boosters and mesotherapy to improve skin hydration and glow
- Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) facial rejuvenation using your own growth factors
- Medical-grade chemical peels to smooth texture and even tone
- Hyaluronic acid skin hydration therapy for deep moisture
- Hair loss rejuvenation treatments for suitable candidates
Each option has indications, timeframes, and maintenance points that are explained clearly before you decide.
How do I plan my treatment?
Planning starts with a straightforward conversation and a structured assessment:
- Discuss your goals and any upcoming events
- Review relevant medical history and medicines
- Assess facial proportions at rest and in movement
- Map areas of concern and prioritise stages
- Outline options, expected timelines, and costs
If you are also considering dental changes, sequencing ensures that tooth position, lip support, and skin quality work together.
What happens during your appointment?
- Photos to document starting points
- Skin preparation and numbing where indicated
- Precise treatment using needles, cannulas, threads, or topical applications as appropriate
- Immediate after-care instructions and a review date
Most treatments have little interruption to routine. You will receive guidance on what to expect over the next few days.
Who might benefit from facial aesthetics?
Consider a consultation if you want to address:
- Fine lines and dynamic wrinkles in the upper or lower face
- Volume loss in the lips, midface, jawline, or chin
- Tired-looking under eyes that improve with gentle support
- Skin that feels dull or dehydrated despite good habits
- Early jowling or softening of the jawline
- Scalp thinning that may respond to regenerative approaches
Small, focused changes often produce the most natural effect.
How do I prepare and look after my skin?
Here are some simple steps to improve comfort and outcomes:
- Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for 24 hours before and after most procedures
- Pause non-essential supplements that increase bruising risk if advised
- Arrive with clean skin and no make-up where possible
- Use cool compresses for minor swelling
- Sleep with your head slightly elevated on the first night after injectables
- Skip saunas and facial for at least 48 hours, or as directed
- Protect your skin daily with a broad-spectrum sunscreen
Your maintenance plan will specify review intervals and top-up timing for each treatment.
