What is Botox?

Botox (Botulinum Toxin); It is a kind of drug application in order to reduce or eliminate mimic lines that become evident due to age, environmental factors, genetic factors, and many other reasons.
Botox main ingredient is botulinum toxin and it acts by relaxing the mimic muscles.
If the correct dose is applied correctly, the facial expression does not deteriorate, on the contrary, a renewed, wrinkled skin is obtained.
Botox is generally applied to the face area.

Botox creates a temporary paralysis in the injected area.
It creates a freezing effect around 1-2 cm of the muscle.
With this freezing effect, the movements of the muscles, which are made to make mimics, are temporarily reduced.
Thus, it provides the opening of the facial expression lines.
But in some cases (wrinkles are too deep) it can reduce the effect of botox.
In such cases, filler injections or different methods can be used together with botox.

After the botox procedure, which takes about 10 minutes, the person is asked to rest for 30 minutes.
Afterwards, the person can continue his/her daily life.

Lying face down should be avoided.

The application area should not come into contact with water for a day.
Ice should be applied when necessary. (According to doctor’s recommendation)
Make up, care etc. for the skin in the first few days. (It is not recommended to do.)
The full effects of Botox become apparent in the first 7-15 days.
