The effects of Botox application begin to become visible within a few days, but it is necessary to wait 1-2 weeks for the definitive results to emerge. After this period, desired revisions can be made. Dr. Lida Çiteli, your reliable and successful address for Botox applications, explains what you need to know about Botox.
When Do the Effects of Botox Appear?
In the first few days of Botox, the skin may react, and temporary swelling or redness may occur. However, these effects will subside on their own within a short time. Visible effects of Botox generally appear within 5-7 days.
Definitive results become apparent within the first two weeks. If the person desires any revisions during this period, they can be made. The onset of Botox effects varies according to the application areas. For example, Botox applied to the glabella or crow's feet shows its full results within 4-5 days, while in areas with deeper and longer wrinkles, this period may be slightly longer.
How Long Do the Effects of Botox Last?
How long the effect of a Botox application will last can vary depending on the individual and their cell regeneration rate. Generally, it has a permanence lasting up to 6 to 7 months. During this period, the person gets rid of wrinkles and has smooth skin. After the 6-7 month period, the effect of botulinum toxin on the muscle nerves gradually begins to decrease and weaken. Wrinkles and lines reappear on the skin.
How to Increase the Duration of Botox Effect?
To increase the duration of the Botox effect we apply to the muscles in the deeper layers of the skin, supportive aesthetic measures can be taken with some natural methods. If we need to list the precautions that can be taken to extend the effective period of Botox:
- Establishing a healthy eating routine enriched with nutrients that promote cell regeneration.
- Engaging in practices that will stimulate our skin's collagen production and maintain skin health.
- Avoiding habits such as smoking and alcohol, which negatively affect overall health as well as skin health.
- Using creams that will protect our skin from the sun's harmful rays.
- Doing exercises similar to facial yoga.
How Many Times Can Botox Be Applied Per Year?
How many times Botox can be applied within a year can vary according to the person's own preferences, needs, and their doctor's recommendations. Generally, it is preferred to renew the Botox procedure at 6-7 month intervals. The Botox procedure, which can be renewed as its effect wears off, can also be used in combination with different anti-aging applications.
After the Botox procedure, which can be applied in all seasons, the person needs to protect themselves from the sun's harmful rays. Therefore, those who have Botox in the summer months need to take precautions to protect themselves from the sun.
At What Age Should Botox Be Applied?
Botox has nothing to do with age. Early application of Botox, an anti-aging procedure, ensures that signs of aging visit you later than expected. It is applied in the 18-35 age group to eliminate unwanted lines and give the skin brightness and smoothness. Individuals between 35-50 years old resort to Botox to eliminate wrinkles caused by the decrease in collagen production in their skin.
Individuals aged 50 and over use it to combat severe sagging and wrinkles that occur on their skin. In such cases, Botox application may be insufficient. At this point, applications such as HIFU, thread lift, or facelift may be resorted to.
The Botox procedure yields extremely successful results when applied around the age of 30-35, when signs of aging begin to show themselves. If you also want to get rid of your wrinkles and carry your beauty beyond time, you can choose Botox applications with Dr. Lida Çiteli.
