The purpose of the procedure, which contains “Botilinum Toxin A” and is identified with the brand “Botox” among people, is to prevent dynamic wrinkles caused by muscles by blocking the muscles in the applied areas. The active ingredient botulinum toxin A is obtained from the bacterial microorganism called “Clostridium Botulinum” and while it may cause a pathological condition called “botilismus” after exposure to high doses, it is also used in therapeutic doses for aesthetic purposes, especially in the facial area. After botox applied in therapeutic doses for aesthetic purposes, a visible improvement can be achieved, especially in the lines in the upper face area (forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes). In this way, vitality and freshness is achieved in the person’s appearance and gaze.
Botox can be applied for aesthetic purposes to all age groups over the age of 18 who have wrinkles, sweating or teeth clenching problems. It is not applied to pregnant women and breastfeeding people.
Although the permanence of Botox depends on the person’s genetic factors, sports habits and environmental factors, it will be 4 to 5 months on average.
Botox procedure can be done 2 or 3 times a year. Although rare, resistance develops in people who have botox applied very frequently, so a maximum of 3 full applications, including check-ups, is recommended.
After Botox, the effects begin slowly on the 3rd day and the effect reaches its maximum on the 14th day. On the first day, you should avoid leaning forward, making excessive facial expressions and washing your face with hot water.
