Wrinkles that appear on the face due to excessive use of facial expressions, genetic factors or advancing age can be eliminated in a very practical way with botox application to areas such as the eye contour, between the eyebrows, forehead and nose root in a very short time. With the application made by professionals in appropriate doses, negative situations such as fear or surprise expression on the face are prevented and a young and fit appearance is provided to the person.

In which areas is Botox used?

Wrinkle treatment

Years of work of the mimic muscles make the folds in the overlying skin prominent, resulting in dynamic lines on the face. The most common dynamic lines appear on the forehead, between the eyebrows, in the corners of the eyes and around the lips. The lines on the forehead and eye corners give the person an older appearance, while the lines between the eyebrows give the person a frowning, angry look. By applying Botox to the mimic muscles, the movements of these muscles can be weakened, and the decrease in muscle movements reduces the folding of the skin on the skin with muscle movements and the lines due to folding. In this way, a significant improvement is achieved in the facial expression that looks old and angry.

Face contouring

With Botox injection, the eyebrows can be lifted from the tail part and the height in the middle part of the eyebrows, which leads to a confused facial appearance, can be lowered.

The appearance of prominent upper gingiva with the smile causes an unaesthetic appearance while smiling. This can be easily corrected with Botox injection.

Massetter (chewing muscle) Hypertrophy: Unlike other regional applications, Botox applications to the massetter muscle are not performed for wrinkles, but to soften the square facial appearance of patients with marked hypertrophy of the massetter muscle and to obtain an oval face. Thus, a slimmer and more feminine facial appearance is achieved.

Treatment of excessive sweating

When Botox is applied to the sweat glands, the transmission between the sweat glands and nerve endings can be stopped and the functioning of the sweat glands can be reduced. The most sweaty parts of the body are the palms and armpits. When Botox is applied to the sweating areas of people with excessive sweating and sweat odor complaints, their complaints are improved.

The effect of the application made after the excessive sweating areas are determined with the test performed before the application lasts up to 6 months.

Migraine treatment

Botox application; It is applied to 7 areas in the head and neck with needle tips thinner than 31 injection points. The treatment is planned individually and there are at least 2 treatment periods with a 12-week interval. In some patients, the injection needs to be repeated for treatment efficacy, while in some patients, the efficacy continues for several years. With the decision of a specialist neurologist, additional doses can be applied to the necessary areas in Botox injections depending on the location of the pain and migraine can be controlled with successful results.

How is Botox administered?

Botox is administered as an injection and is not a painful procedure, a slight pain may be felt at the time of injection. When a decrease in the movements of the mimic muscles is desired, it is injected into the mimic muscles, and when a decrease in sweating complaint is desired, it is injected into the skin.
The effect of Botox starts 3-4 days after the injection and becomes fully established within the first week and the duration of effect is 4-6 months. When Botox loses its effect, the application can be repeated.
Botox has no serious side effects on health. It may cause temporary swelling, bruising and rarely temporary drooping of the eyelid after the application.

Immediately after the operation, daily life can be continued with comfort. However, movements that require bending for a long time and exercising facial muscles should be avoided. In addition, the head should be kept elevated for about four hours after Botox injection, avoid leaning forward and do not lie down. Approximately eight hours after Botox injection, you can take a shower with warm water and in a way that does not damage the face, that is, without scrubbing or applying pressure. Care should be taken to use cold water when washing the face.
