Face Botox
When Botox is applied to mimic muscles, it prevents these muscles from overworking. In essence, this can be thought of as resting the facial muscles and, consequently, the skin. It prevents the formation of new wrinkles while reducing existing ones. The primary goal of Botox is to prevent new wrinkles and reduce existing ones.
What is facial Botox used for?
It is generally applied to wrinkles in the upper part of the face.
The primary target areas for wrinkle treatment with Botox are:
Horizontal forehead lines
Vertical lines between the eyebrows that cause a stern expression
Crow's feet lines at the corners of the eyes that cause a tired appearance
How long does the effect of Botox last?
The effect is reversible and is eventually eliminated from the body. Although it can vary depending on genetic and environmental factors, the average duration is four to six months.
How is it applied?
It is applied by a physician in our clinic. The procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. To reduce pain, a local anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area before the procedure. It is a painless procedure. You can return to your daily life immediately after the procedure.
What should I pay attention to after Botox?
For the first 24-48 hours after the procedure, it is recommended to avoid:
Sports
Exercise
Alcohol consumption
Facial massage or rubbing
Lying on your side
Being in hot environments or applying heat (washing your face with hot water) These activities can increase blood flow to the face, causing the drug to be reabsorbed and reducing its effectiveness.
When will the effect of Botox be seen?
The effect of the drug starts to be seen after 7 days and reaches its full effect on the 14th day. Patients are routinely called for a check-up on the 14th day, and any necessary touch-ups are made. The duration of the effect is approximately 4-6 months.
From what age can Botox be applied?
There is no age limit. Since the main purpose of Botox is to prevent the formation of wrinkles, it can be applied from the age of 20.
Is pregnancy and breastfeeding a barrier to Botox?
Botox is not suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Will my expression change after Botox?
The main goal of Botox is not to change expressions but to prevent existing and potential wrinkles. However, in some cases, by adjusting the drug dosage, an angry or sad expression can be reduced. For example, when the frown lines between the eyebrows are softened, there is a softening of the angry expression

MASSETER BOTOX
Another area where Botox can be applied is the masseter muscle. The masseter muscle is one of the muscles that helps us chew and close our jaw. When this muscle is overworked or too strong, it can cause teeth grinding, especially at night, leading to tooth wear and jaw pain. Additionally, when this muscle is developed, the jaw appears more angular and masculine. Botox applied to the masseter muscle prevents excessive activation of the strengthened muscle. It reduces night-time teeth grinding and jaw pain, and softens the angular jawline (feminization). There are no problems with jaw or chewing movements. The procedure takes approximately 2 minutes. It is a painless procedure. The full effect is seen two weeks after the procedure. The duration of the effect is approximately 4-6 months.

GUMMY SMİLE BOTOx
Gummy smile is when the upper gums are visible to a significant extent when smiling. There are five smiling muscles on each side of our face. Excessive activation of one of these muscles, the LANLS (levator aleque nasi labii superioris), causes the upper lip to pull up when smiling, causing the gums to be visible. Botox applied to this muscle reduces gummy smile. The procedure takes approximately two minutes. It is a painless procedure. As with all Botox procedures, the full effect is seen on the 14th day and the duration of the effect is approximately 4-6 months. For a more effective result, it is recommended to be done together with lip filler.

MIGRAINE BOTOX
One of the many causes of headaches is nerve compression, and in suitable patients, Botox can be used to relieve headaches. However, a detailed examination is required before application. The nerves that provide sensation to the face and scalp pass through some muscles after exiting the brain. When these nerves are compressed by muscles during this course, it causes pain, especially in the temples, forehead, and nape of the neck. This pain can be unilateral and may increase or decrease with environmental factors such as sun, stress, etc. To reduce this pain, Botox can be applied to the muscles that can put pressure on the nerves. It is a painless procedure. The procedure takes approximately 5 minutes. The full effect starts to be seen in the second week. The duration of the effect is approximately 4-6 months
