What is Botox Application?

botulinum toxin, a toxin substance that temporarily prevents muscle movements, is used.

Botox. ; It is applied to alleviate the appearance of lines around the eyes and forehead wrinkles as much as possible.

Botox application is generally applied for deep wrinkles on the forehead, wrinkles around the eyes, between the eyebrows, and on the side of the nose.

Botox application is micro-thin. It is injected into the muscles with needles.

Botox application is administered directly into the muscles with thin needles. Its effect begins to be seen within 4-7 days after the procedure and takes its final form within 10-15 days, lightening the lines and preventing the formation of new wrinkles.

Wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes (crow's feet), between the eyebrows, side wall of the nose, neck skin and Bands are formed as a result of the contraction of the facial muscles in the face and neck. The lines between the eyebrows and on the side wall of the nose cause an angry facial expression, the lines around the eyes and on the forehead cause an old and tired facial expression, and the lines around the mouth cause a sad facial expression.

Botox blocks the temporary contraction of the facial muscles in these areas of the face. By eliminating the tired, angry and tired facial expression, a wrinkle-free, younger and more vigorous facial expression is achieved.

With Botox, wrinkles and lines on the skin are temporarily eliminated. The effect duration of Botox treatment is around 4-6 months. The duration of effect varies from person to person. This period is affected by age and the condition of the applied area.

When ophthalmologists noticed that there was a decrease in the deep wrinkles of the patients after applying Botox for patients with involuntary contractions (hemifacial spasm), it began to be applied cosmetically to the eye area.
