Botox Treatment
Botox application is based on the principle of eliminating wrinkles and fine lines on the skin surface. It can be applied to everyone except pregnant and breastfeeding women, and its duration of effect may vary depending on age.
Botox is a very short procedure (10-15 minutes) and is used not only for reducing forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and neck wrinkles but also for preventing excessive sweating and lifting the eyebrows. Immediately after the procedure, individuals can continue their daily lives as usual without experiencing any pain. However, it is recommended to avoid visiting the hairdresser, sauna, or swimming pool in the first few days following the application. Additionally, on the day of the procedure, individuals should avoid sleeping face-down and instead prefer a back-sleeping position.
The effects of Botox become fully visible within 5 to 7 days after the procedure. Wrinkles on the forehead, crow’s feet, between the eyebrows, under the nose, around the mouth, and on the neck result from muscle contractions in these areas. Lines around the mouth create a sad facial expression, while lines on the sidewalls of the nose and between the eyebrows give an angry look. Wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes contribute to an aged appearance.
Botox temporarily blocks the contraction of the muscles in these areas, eliminating the sad, tired, and angry expressions caused by wrinkles and giving the skin a smoother, younger, and fresher appearance. This treatment should be performed by specialists with knowledge and experience in facial muscle anatomy.
Although it is not a painful procedure, there may be a slight burning sensation in the treated area. After the application, the treated area should not be rubbed to prevent Botox from spreading to the surrounding muscles.

Botox is injected into the targeted muscles using fine needles, and the procedure usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
Botox is most commonly used to treat the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), around the eyes (crow's feet), and frown lines. It can also be used for medical purposes such as excessive sweating, jaw clenching (bruxism), and migraine treatment.
