Botox

As we get older, the production of collagen in our skin decreases and accordingly the skin begins to lose its elasticity. The loss of elasticity of the skin brings along skin deformations. Especially static wrinkles, which we call mimic wrinkles, appear more when our skin starts to lose its quality and they get deeper and deeper if they are not intervened. The effective treatment of these wrinkles, which make us look much older and collapsed than we are, is botox treatments.

What is Botox?

Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, is a kind of toxin obtained from a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum, which is used in many areas from aesthetic concerns to teeth clenching and even sweating treatments. By paralyzing the muscles in the applied area, it prevents the muscle from contracting too much, and thus helps to leave the complained situation (clenching teeth, the appearance of wrinkles, etc.) behind. Botox treatment, which is a safe and comfortable treatment, can take between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the variety of the area to be treated in the clinical environment. Although it is so comfortable that anesthetic creams are not needed, topical creams are used before the treatment in patients with low pain relief.

When is Botox treatment needed?

Botox treatment has many uses. Botox treatments are used in teeth clenching known as bruxism, thinning the masseter muscle, removing mimic wrinkles and sweating treatments. Nowadays, Botox is applied to the wrinkles around the eyes, the wrinkles around the eyes, the wrinkles in the forehead and the wrinkles between the eyebrows, which we call the anger line.

What is inside the Botox treatment?

Botox treatment is a kind of toxin that can be used for the benefit of the body. The main ingredient of botox obtained from Clostridium botulinum bacteria is botulinum toxin.

In which areas is Botox treatment applied?

The place where Botox treatment is most frequently used today is the area that we call crow’s feet because it is in the form of 3 parallel lines around the eyes, just below our temples, which we call the temporal region, after our skin quality starts to decrease with the return of aging. However, it is often used to leave the problem of excessive sweating behind, especially in the early summer months, as it begins to affect social life more and negatively affects the self-confidence of the person.

Is Botox permanent?

Botox treatments are non-surgical aesthetic procedures that must be repeated at regular intervals. Although it changes according to the person’s vital habits, in botox treatments, where we can offer an average of 6 months of permanence, an average of 4 months permanence is mentioned by the manufacturer. However, it is known that if botox treatments are made regularly, their permanence increases.

What should be considered after botox?

Botox treatment is an injection procedure, but it is a painless and acheless treatment. When you decide to have Botox treatment, you should not forget that you should first consult a doctor who is expert in this field, otherwise you should not forget that you may be alone with an injection that will result in a far from natural appearance.

Botox treatment starts to show its effect about 4-5 days after the procedure. Therefore, it is normal that you do not see the effects on the day of treatment. In the first days after the procedure, care routines that put pressure on the skin, such as facial scrub, should be avoided. However, it is recommended to wash the face with cold water for the first few days.

Can Botox treatments be combined?

Botox is a procedure that acts locally. In other words, a botox treatment that you apply to the crow’s feet around the eyes will not have any effect on the forehead area and wrinkles between the eyebrows. Botox treatment should be repeated for each area needed. Subsequently, Botox treatments can be performed in combination with many other non-surgical aesthetic treatments today, as they are painless, acheless, comfortable and practical treatments, and they are procedures that do not detach the person from social life. At the beginning of the treatments made with Botox, especially the filling processes take up a great place. Many people who are exposed to various deformations in the face area due to aging can achieve a much younger, lively and dynamic appearance with the combined treatment of filling and botox.
