It is very common for lines and wrinkles to appear on the face over the years due to overuse of facial expressions, genetic factors, aging and many other reasons. These wrinkles that appear on the forehead, at the root of the nose, around the eyes and between the eyebrows can be removed quickly, effectively and comfortably thanks to Botox applications. In Botox application, a neurotoxin obtained and purified from Clostridium Botulinum bacteria is used. The botox substance injected into the skin prevents the release of the substance that provides conduction in the nerve endings. Thus, it temporarily deactivates the muscles in the target area, can reduce wrinkles caused by years of use of mimic muscles and prevent new wrinkles from forming. In addition, Botox treatment can also be used for other purposes, such as treating chronic migraine pain and eliminating excessive sweating.
Face Botox
The forehead, between the eyebrows, around the mouth and around the eyes are the areas where deep lines and wrinkles are commonly seen on the face. Facial Botox is a medical aesthetic procedure that can often be applied to eliminate these problems. The substance used during Botox injection prevents the nerves from releasing acetylcholine, thus preventing the contraction of the mimic muscles and weakening the mimic muscles. As a result, the appearance of lines and wrinkles in the application area is significantly reduced. A delaying effect is also achieved for new lines and wrinkles. The mixture injected during Botox application maintains its effect for a certain period of time. This period may vary according to many different factors specific to each patient. When the effect of Botox injection wears off, the skin returns to its former appearance. Botox injection can be repeated at regular intervals if the patient requests and the doctor deems appropriate. Repeated Botox injections can also ensure that the results last longer.
Baby Botox
With aging, wrinkles that appear on the forehead, around the lips, around the eyes, between the eyebrows and other parts of the face can make a person look tired, angry, sad and older than they are. While Baby Botox application removes wrinkles in these areas, it does not cause a risk such as loss of facial expressions. In other words, it preserves the natural appearance while removing wrinkles. Baby botox is basically applied to open fine wrinkles without destroying facial expressions. In baby botox, which uses the same substance as the traditional botox procedure, a lower dose is injected. As a result, some facial movements and facial expressions that can be blocked in traditional botox are not harmed in baby botox. As a result, the naturalness of facial appearance and facial expressions is preserved. Baby Botox can eliminate many different problems such as around the eyes, forehead, vertical lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines and crow’s feet. Since the effects are not permanent, it is generally recommended to repeat the procedure every 6 months. During these repetitions, the dose to be injected is rearranged.
Neck Botox
Neck Botox, also known as Nefertiti Botox, is performed to remove wrinkles and sagging that occur in the neck area due to various reasons and make the person look older. Thus, neck wrinkles can be removed and the bands formed by the neck muscle called “platysma” can be treated. If the lines disappear when the neck is stretched, it is possible that neck botox alone can be beneficial. If not, neck botox can reduce wrinkles and make the skin look more vibrant and fresh. Neck botox is also an effective procedure on the muscle bands in the jowl area. These bands can cause the jowl area to look saggy and cause a hollow appearance between the bands. With neck botox, wrinkles in the jowl area are removed and loss of elasticity is reduced, making the neck area look more beautiful. Décolleté botox can also be performed to remove wrinkles and lines in the décolleté area, which is a continuation of the neck area.
Masseter Botox
It is possible for the masseter muscle on both sides of the face to develop over time due to reasons such as chewing too much gum, consuming hard foods, unconscious external squeezing and grinding while sleeping or awake, and a square appearance on the face. This also means a harder and masculine appearance on the face. With masseter botox treatment applied to the masseter muscle, the muscles are weakened and reduced in size. The square and round face shape takes the shape of a triangle, heart or oval, which provides a more aesthetic appearance. Masseter Botox treatment also prevents problems caused by teeth clenching by relaxing the jaw muscles and reducing tension in the face.
Sweating Botox
Stress, excitement, embarrassment and various diseases can cause sweaty hands. In this case, various problems may occur during tasks such as holding hands, shaking hands and holding pens. In addition, lack of self-confidence and social phobia may occur. As with the hands, excessive sweating can also be seen in the feet due to different reasons such as active environment, stress, air temperatures and diseases. Excessive sweating in the feet can cause foot odor, especially in the summer months, and negatively affect the quality of life. Again, one of the situations that people are most uncomfortable in the summer months is armpit sweating and the odor caused by it. Although this odor is tried to be eliminated with products such as deodorant, stick and roll-on, a permanent solution cannot be obtained in this way. The most effective way to eliminate excessive sweating in the hand, foot and armpit area is botox. Sweating botox is applied to the palm of the hand to solve the problem of hand sweating. In this way, sweating in the palm can be prevented. Within the scope of the procedure, which maintains its effect for about 6 months, botox is injected into the palm. With the prevention of acetylcholine release in the area, sweat glands do not produce sweat. Similarly, sweating botox can be used to prevent foot sweating. After the injection with very fine-tipped needles, the patient can resume his/her daily life. With underarm botox, the quality of life of the person can be improved by preventing the release of sweat from the sweat glands in the armpit.
Gum Aesthetics – Gummy Smile Botox
It is not possible to have an eye-catching smile without the harmony of teeth, lips and gums. Having an aesthetic smile is a factor that positively affects social relations for many people. The appearance of gums while smiling is called a gummy smile and can cause the person to avoid smiling. With gummy smile botox, it is possible to eliminate this situation that disrupts smile aesthetics. Gummy smile botox is injected into the sides of the nostrils to eliminate the aesthetic disorder that causes the gums to appear while laughing. Although it usually starts to show its effect within 3 to 4 days, a period of 2 weeks is usually required for it to show its full effect. Gummy smile Botox works the muscles in the upper lip. Thus, the upper lip can cover the gums without interfering with smiling and lip movements. As a result, as long as the treatment remains effective, only the teeth are visible when the patient smiles, not the gums.
Mesobotox
Mesobotox is a combination of Botox and mesotherapy procedures. Hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and Botulinum toxin are injected into the lower layers of the skin. Botox penetrates the muscle fibers attached to the lower layer of the skin and causes the fibers to relax. Thus, a lifting effect occurs. Since the muscle is not directly treated, the natural appearance is preserved and there is no loss of facial expressions.
