BOTULINUM TOXIN APPLICATIONS
What is Botox?
In cosmetic surgery, Botox is a safe and effective aesthetic procedure we use to reduce expression wrinkles on the face and achieve a younger, more dynamic appearance. When applied with the correct dose and technique by physicians who have received adequate training in this field, it does not alter facial expressions; on the contrary, it provides a more natural and rested look.
FACIAL REJUVENATION
Wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes (crow's feet) can be reduced; if necessary, it can also be applied to wrinkles around the nose, above the lips, and in the chin area to achieve a more vibrant and fresh facial appearance.
It is also used in suitable patients to lift the eyebrows, lift the tip of the nose, and change the direction of the crease at the corners of the mouth.
teeth grinding
TREATMENT
In some people, teeth grinding (bruxism), especially at night, can occur as a result of overactivity of the chewing muscles that control jaw movement. Botox can be injected into the masseter muscle, located under the cheek, to treat teeth grinding. The effect of Botox on the masseter muscle may be shorter-lived than on facial muscles.
Botox: Who is it applied to?
If lines on your forehead, between your eyebrows, or around your eyes have become more prominent
If you want to soften a tired/stern-looking expression
If you have teeth grinding (jaw muscle) problems
If excessive sweating (especially underarms) is bothering you
If you have migraine headaches
Your suitability will be determined during the examination based on your facial structure, expectations, and medical history.
BOTOX: before getting it done
Before getting Botox, you must:
All the medications and supplements you are using,
If you have had Botox before, please provide information about the dosage and the area to be treated.

Botox: Who should not have it done?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding period
Presence of muscle diseases similar to myasthenia gravis
Active infection or herpes in the application area.
Botox injections are not administered if there is a history of allergy to botulinum toxin.
Botox: Who should have it applied with more caution?

How long the effect lasts varies depending on your facial expressions, the area of application, and your individual characteristics.
Botox Treatment: Aftercare Recommendations
No special aftercare is needed following Botox treatment.
Redness may occur at the injection sites after the procedure, but it usually subsides within 1-2 hours.
Cold compresses can be applied for 10-15 minutes after the procedure.
Your face can be washed or light makeup applied within 2-3 hours.
It is helpful to avoid tilting the head too much or lying down too much during the first 3-4 hours.
It's best to avoid rubbing or massaging the application area during the first few hours.
It is recommended to avoid intense exercise or exposure to high temperatures (Turkish bath/sauna) on the same day.
If you are prone to bruising, it's helpful to plan the timing together before special occasions.
BOTULINUM TOXIN (BOTOX) TREATMENT: risks
Like all medical procedures, Botox injections have potential side effects. The effects of Botox are temporary. The most common are:
Mild redness, tenderness, and bruising at the injection site.
Temporary headache
Asymmetry or the desired effect being too little/too much (can be assessed at a follow-up appointment)
Very rare cases:
Undesirable side effect such as drooping eyelids (temporary)
Allergic reactions (rare)
Swallowing/speech problems (very rare depending on the application site and extent; urgent evaluation may be required)
In reducing risks, accurate patient selection, anatomical planning, appropriate dosage, and correct administration technique are crucial.
Botox: Is it harmful?
Misconceptions that Botox is "snake venom" are very common. Botulinum toxin is a medication derived from the toxin of the C. botulinum bacterium and should only be administered by experienced physicians who have received adequate training in aesthetic procedures. When administered in appropriate doses and at the correct locations, it is a safe procedure.
Personalized planning is important to preserve a natural look.
Botox: Does it look natural?
"Will I lose my facial expressions?" This is one of the most common questions we hear from people applying for Botox. With the correct dose and placement, the goal of Botox is not to create an expressionless face, but to soften lines while preserving the natural look of the face. Therefore, instead of a "one dose for everyone" approach, personalized planning is crucial. For those who are anxious, lower doses can be used initially. (Baby Botox)
