What is Botox? 

Botox (Botulinum toxin) is a toxin obtained from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It shows its effect by preventing the release of substances that provide transmission at nerve endings and stopping the transmission between nerves and the organs they reach. The cessation of nerve conduction causes the functions of the organ the nerve reaches to decrease or disappear completely. It can be used for aesthetic and cosmetic purposes, to reduce wrinkles on the face that occur with the movements of facial muscles, to prevent their formation, to reduce sweating in excessive sweating areas, and in the treatment of chronic migraine.

In which areas is Botox used? 

wrinkle treatment

The work of the facial muscles over the years makes the folds on the overlying skin more visible, thus creating dynamic lines on the face. The most common dynamic lines are seen on the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes and lips. The lines on the forehead and around the eyes give the person an older appearance, and the lines between the eyebrows give the person a frowning, angry look. By applying Botox to the facial muscles, the movements of these muscles can be weakened. The decrease in muscle movements also reduces the folding of the skin due to muscle movements and the lines caused by folding. In this way, a significant improvement is achieved in the facial expression that appears old and angry.

face shaping

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

The appearance of prominent upper gums when smiling causes an unaesthetic appearance. This situation can be easily corrected with Botox injection.

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

Over-sweating treatment

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 areas of the body that sweat the most are the palms and armpits. When Botox is applied to the sweating areas of people who complain of excessive sweating and the resulting sweat odor, their complaints improve.

The effect of the application, which is performed after the excessive sweating areas are detected with the test performed before the application, lasts for up to 6 months.

migraine treatment

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

How is Botox done?

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 facial muscles is desired, injection is made into the facial muscles, and when the complaint of sweating is desired to be reduced, an injection is made into the skin.
The effect of Botox begins in 3-4 days following 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. After the application, temporary swelling, bruising, and rarely temporary drooping of the eyelid may occur.

You can continue your daily life comfortably immediately after the operation. However, movements that require bending for long periods of time and exercising facial muscles should be avoided. In addition, the head should be kept elevated for approximately four hours after Botox injection, leaning forward should be avoided and not lying down. Approximately eight hours after the Botox injection, you can take a shower with warm water and in a way that will not cause any damage to the face, that is, without applying scrubs or pressure. Care should be taken to use cold water when washing the face.
