Botox
Botox is one of the most popular and effective medical aesthetic treatments designed to reduce facial wrinkles and expression lines. It is derived from a special protein known as “botulinum toxin.” This substance temporarily relaxes the muscles, preventing wrinkle formation caused by repetitive facial expressions. It provides a youthful and refreshed appearance, especially on the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and above the lips. 🌸
What is Botox?
Botox is an injection treatment that temporarily blocks the signals transmitted from nerve endings to muscles, reducing muscle contractions. As a result, wrinkles formed by facial movements are softened, and the formation of new lines is prevented. Medically, botulinum toxin type A is used. Botox is applied not only for aesthetic purposes but also for excessive sweating, teeth grinding (bruxism), and migraine treatment. It provides a naturally refreshed and smooth appearance. 💫
How is Botox Applied?
Before the procedure, the skin is cleaned and the injection areas are determined. The dosage is adjusted according to the individual’s muscle structure. Using fine needles, botulinum toxin is injected into specific facial muscles. The procedure takes approximately 10–15 minutes and does not require anesthesia. The effect begins within 3–5 days, with full results visible after 10–14 days. The patient can immediately return to daily activities. ✅

Post-Botox Care
For the first 4–6 hours after the procedure, avoid bending the face downward, lying down, or touching the injection sites. Avoid intense exercise, sauna, steam baths, and alcohol on the first day. Do not massage the treated area and cleanse the skin gently. Follow your doctor’s care recommendations to maintain long-lasting results. 🌞
Duration of Botox Effect
Botox typically begins to work within 3–5 days and reaches its maximum effect in 10–14 days. The results last an average of 4–6 months. With regular applications, muscle movements weaken over time, extending the duration of effect. 💧
