Botox is one of the most frequently applied aesthetic procedures without surgery all over the world. Botox is a toxin derived from the bacterium C botulinum. The use of Botox for aesthetic purposes started with the discovery of temporary muscle paralysis. This situation creates breaks in the deep layers of the skin and related lines after a certain age, due to the mimic movements we make constantly. Starting regular Botox applications before the lines get deeper prevents the skin from aging later and the formation of deep lines.
Botox procedure is the application of the toxin with small needles by marking the determined muscle groups following the application of local anesthesia applied to the skin. You can return to your work and routine life immediately after the procedure. It is not appropriate to do heavy sports and go to the sauna on the day of Botox application.
Three days should be waited for skin care. Processing time is 10-15 minutes. The effect of Botox does not start immediately, it starts at approximately 72 hours and takes its final form on the 10th day. The average duration of action is 4-6 months. There is no obstacle in its application, except for pregnant and lactating women.
Botox is used in the removal of forehead lines, lines around the eyes, hand and foot sweating, armpit sweating and migraine treatment.
Baby Botox
In normal Botox application, temporary paralysis of facial muscles and reduction of mimics can sometimes cause a dull facial expression. This should be evaluated according to the face shape of the person and the frequency of using facial expressions. In the baby Botox technique, it is possible to open wrinkles by protecting the mimics. In this technique, Botox is used at a minimal dose in certain areas and at a higher dose in certain areas. Since the facial muscles are not paralyzed, a dull expression does not occur. While obtaining a natural appearance, wrinkling of the skin is also prevented.
Baby Botox application is applied in personalized doses. It causes a young and natural look.
It treats forehead and eye wrinkles with baby Botox application. Botox effect is temporary. Permanent lines are prevented from forming in patients who are applied regularly at 6-month intervals.
Micro Botox
It is a regional application to the areas where the patient has complaints in accordance with the anatomy, while preserving the patient’s expression with micro Botox. In micro Botox applications, the structure of the skin, age and the most common mimic should be taken into consideration. It does not require Botox application on the entire face. For example, if there is a drop in the tip of the nose when you smile, this can be prevented with micro Botox applications only on the base of the nose. The aim is to provide a natural look that is not obvious where Botox is applied.
Migraine Botox
Migraine is a serious problem that affects people’s daily life depending on the frequency of attacks. Botox is a very good and important alternative for patients who do not benefit from drug therapy due to the severity of pain. In recent years, it has been scientifically proven that Botox reduces migraine attacks. Even in Botox applications made for cosmetic purposes, a decrease in the number of attacks was found.
Migraine Botox is different from Botox for aesthetic purposes. It is performed on 31 trigger points of the patient. Between the eyebrows, temples, nape and neck trigger points are the most frequently applied areas. Migraine Botox does not affect expression. Higher doses are used than for aesthetic purposes. Botox effect starts 3-4 days after injection. Its full effect occurs on the 10th day.
Early Botox:
When should we start Botox? It is not right to wait for the ages of 30s and 40s to have Botox. Because with Botox in the early period, it is possible to prevent wrinkles from becoming static, that is, permanent. For this reason, it can be prevented from having a harsh look by making it for the most frequently used mimics, for example, for the lines located between the eyebrows. In preventive Botox application, Botox is not applied to the entire face. The most used mimic is suppressed. It can be applied only between the eyebrows or only on the crow’s feet. Overactive mimics are suppressed and the formation of permanent lines is prevented. Thus, the formation of wrinkles is prevented. Since only one or two groups of muscles will be applied, a natural appearance is obtained.
Antiperspirant Botox
Underarm sweating Botox is frequently preferred for people who work closely and with active physical strength. With Botox applied under the armpit, sweating is reduced and bad odors are also reduced. Intense work life and summer season increase sweating. Stress-related sweating is increasing. Sweating on the hands can cause loss of self-confidence in business life.
The second most common use of Botox in plastic surgery is to reduce sweating. It can be applied to the armpits, palms and soles of the feet and around the head.
The process takes about 15-20 minutes. Before the procedure, numbing cream is applied to the area to be treated. This reduces pain. There is no need to rest at the end of the procedure. Superficial Botox prevents the sweat glands from working excessively. The duration of action begins after 72 hours. The average duration of action is 6-8 months.
Botox for Men
The male facial bone skeleton and musculature are more masculine. Botox application should be done with this structure in mind. For example, while creating a curved eyebrow in women, it should be ensured that the eyebrows remain straight in men and a feminine appearance should be avoided. Since the muscle strength is different in men, Botox doses are also different from women. The most preferred Botox in men is face and armpit sweating Botox.
It is mostly applied to the forehead area in men. Mimics are not completely destroyed and sharp lines are preserved. In this way, a healthier and more energetic appearance is obtained.
Free Hyaluronic Acid Application:
Since free hyaluronic acid is absorbed by the body, on the contrary, it does not act as a filler. There are cross-links between the hyaluronic acids, which serve as a filler, and in this way, they gain volume by holding water and act as a filler. Hyaluronic acid is the body raw material. Its free form is absorbed and used as a building block. In this way, a moist and smooth appearance is obtained on the skin. It also helps to lighten fine lines. Since there are many types of products today, these applications should be applied according to the age and skin needs of the person.
