Over the years, wrinkles appear on our face due to excessive use of facial expressions, genetic factors, or simply aging. These wrinkles, which appear between the eyebrows, around the eyes, on the forehead, and at the bridge of the nose, can now be quickly and effectively eliminated with **Botox applications**. With Botox applications performed at correct dosages by expert physicians, it is possible to have a young and vibrant face without losing natural facial expressions or appearance.
What is
Botox?
Botox, or in other words, Botulinum toxin, is a type of toxin obtained from the botulinum bacteria. It prevents the release of substances found at nerve endings that ensure transmission. That is, it works by blocking the transmission between nerves and organs. In this way, the function of the muscle to which the nerves are transmitted decreases. Thus, it is extremely effective in reducing wrinkles caused by years of movement of mimic muscles and preventing the formation of new wrinkles. In addition, it has been successfully applied for many years to alleviate chronic migraine headaches and reduce excessive sweating in certain areas.
Throughout our lives, our facial expressions cause dynamic lines on our skin. Dynamic lines become permanent over time. The established wrinkles caused by this situation occur in varying degrees depending on the person's age, gender, profession, skin and muscle structure, and even the duration of sun exposure. We can get rid of the tired, old, and angry facial expression caused by wrinkles with the Botox method.
In Which Areas is
Botox Used?
Wrinkle Treatment
As we mentioned above, Botox is widely used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles that develop due to aging and mimic use, prevent the formation of new wrinkles, and completely eliminate fine wrinkles. It is a highly attractive cosmetic treatment application for people who want to have a younger and more vibrant face and get rid of the tired, old, and angry expression on their face.
Facial Contouring
Botox injection is also used for facial contouring purposes. For example, eyebrows can be lifted from the tail, and thus, the elevation in the middle of the eyebrows that causes a surprised facial expression can be lowered.
Situations that arise when smiling and disrupt facial aesthetics can also be eliminated with Botox injection. With Masseter Botox, it is also possible to give the face a more oval and feminine appearance.
Excessive Sweating Treatment
When Botox is injected into sweat glands, it stops the transmission between nerve endings and sweat glands. This reduces the activity of the sweat glands. As a result, the complaint of excessive sweating in the armpits and palms, which are the most sweating areas of the human body, is alleviated. Before the excessive sweating treatment, a test is performed on the person to determine the problematic areas. Then, the Botox application is carried out, and effective results lasting up to six months are obtained.
Migraine Treatment
It is applied with micro-needle tips at 31 injection points to seven different areas in the head and neck. The Botox application, specially planned according to the person and their needs, is applied in at least two periods at twelve-week intervals. While some patients need to repeat the Botox injection, others can achieve an effect that lasts for several years. It is possible to control migraine pain with Botox injection.
How is
Botox Done?
Botox is applied in the form of an injection. It is definitely not a painful treatment. The injection points are numbed beforehand with anesthetic creams. Even if the person feels a small pain during the application, it will be at a very minimal level. In wrinkle treatment, Botox injection is performed into the mimic muscles, and in excessive sweating treatment, it is performed into the skin.
Botox injection starts to show its effects on the third day after the application. The effects, which reach their maximum level at the end of the first week, maintain this level for 3-4 months. It is likely that the effects will decrease and disappear after the sixth month. After this stage, the Botox injection can be repeated. After each repeated procedure, the permanence of the effects increases, and the need for repeating the procedure is felt later.
After the Botox procedure, there is no harm in washing the person's face or using makeup products. Only for the first four hours, care should be taken to stand upright and not lie face down, and hot showers and massaging the Botox application point should be avoided.
Botox must be applied by expert physicians. Otherwise, desired results may not be obtained, and numerous complications, including temporary eyelid drooping, may occur.
Botox is an aesthetic treatment method applied to eliminate the appearance of wrinkles on human skin and to delay the formation of new wrinkles.
What to Pay Attention to
After Botox Application
On the day of Botox injection, the person should be careful and avoid bending forward to prevent the toxin from spreading to unwanted muscles. For the first few hours, care should be taken to stay upright. On the day of the application, the person should avoid alcoholic beverages, hot and steamy environments, and heavy exercises that require bending. Swimming pools should be avoided for the first three days. One should sleep on their back, not on their stomach.
Myths and Facts
About Botox
Botox, the most popular application in the field of medical aesthetics in our country and worldwide, has spread and reached today thanks to user satisfaction for over 20 years.
Botulinum substance was essentially known in scientific circles since the 19th century and used in medical treatments for various diseases. Today, when Botox is produced for aesthetic purposes, it goes through high-tech and reliable stages. When repeated as its effect wears off and applied regularly, it shows long-lasting, successful effects. Although the effect of a first-time Botox injection may be different for each person, it is on average between 4-6 months. However, the effect provided after the next session increases to 6-8 months, and then to 8-10 months. That is, the effect of each session is longer compared to the previous one.
Expressionless and emotionless results from old years are a thing of the past. Nowadays, as a result of Botox procedures performed by expert physicians, facial expressions, mimics, and the natural appearance of the face are preserved while lines and wrinkles are reduced.
Applying Botox when dynamic lines first begin to form on the face yields much more effective results compared to later years. This is because necessary precautions are taken before the lines become established and deepen. In other words, it serves as a preventive treatment.
Today, men resort to Botox applications at least as much as women, and they get rid of the tired, old, and angry expression on their faces without distorting their natural appearance, gaining a young and energetic look.
Of course, the only application area of Botox is not aesthetic treatment or wrinkle removal. In addition, it facilitates the work of doctors and patients in a very wide range, from strabismus to excessive sweating, from migraine headaches to an overactive bladder.
Statistical studies show that approximately 58 million people worldwide are interested in non-surgical, meaning medical aesthetic treatments. However, due to urban legends passed down by word of mouth that do not reflect the truth, many people hesitate to take action and put distance between themselves and their dreams. If you also want to leave these urban legends aside and achieve the young and radiant skin you dream of, you can contact Dr. Lida Çiteli without delay.
