Although it is generally known as Botox, Botox is actually the trade name of botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is popularly known as snake venom, but this is false information. Botox is a toxin derived from a bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum. This toxin acts at the neuromuscular junction and prevents muscles from contracting. In this way, it is effective in the treatment of wrinkles and has been used safely around the world for many years.
If you have a habit of using your facial expressions too much, your muscles will contract over time and wrinkles will appear on your skin. These wrinkles can be dynamic or static. Dynamic wrinkles, that is, wrinkles that appear with movement, can be easily treated with botox. Filling applications are also required for wrinkles that appear in the static, that is, resting position.
Botox, which takes a very short time, is often used on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), frown lines, nose wrinkles (rabbit lines), neck bands, around the lips and chin wrinkles, as well as for the treatment of teeth grinding, chin thinning, eyebrow lifting, preventing migraines and sweating. is also used. It removes the old and tired expression on your face and gives you a fresher and more vigorous appearance.
It is a painless procedure that takes about 10 minutes and can be done even during busy work schedules. You may only feel a slight burning sensation in that area while the procedure is being performed. Anesthetic creams can be used for this and you can return to your normal life immediately afterwards. Botox effect starts on the 3rd day, 7-10. It reaches its maximum in days. I advise my patients not to lean forward for the first 4 hours, not to rub the treated area, to limit activities such as sauna, Turkish bath, pool, hairdresser, and to pay attention to the sleeping position on the first night.
Botox application has been used around the world for many years and is a very reliable application when applied by experienced physicians who are experts in their field.
Sweating botox: Botox applied at certain points, especially in armpit sweating, reduces sweating by partially reducing the functioning of the sweat glands. It is a very satisfactory treatment method that is effective for approximately 6 months in patients with excessive sweating.
Baby Botox: It is a form of treatment in which we target small wrinkles on the skin by applying very small doses of botox to certain points at a certain depth on the entire face.
Mesobotox: By mixing very small doses of botox with mesotherapy products such as Youth Vaccine, Hyaluronic Acid, Salmon DNA, we treat fine wrinkles on the skin at a certain depth and at certain points on the whole face, as well as stimulating skin renewal, moisturizing the skin, and allowing us to have a more vibrant and fresh skin. It is a form of treatment.
Thespian Botox: Instead of the previously popular high-dose botox application that causes loss of all facial expressions, it is applied in smaller doses, which only reduces wrinkles and does not completely lose the facial expressions, so we call it theatre-actor botox.
Migraine Botox: Botox applied to trigger points in migraine patients has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks in suitable patients. It is usually applied in small doses to 31 trigger points in the head and neck area, and we can return to our normal life immediately afterwards.
Botolinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum and related species. It causes soft paralysis by preventing the release of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter from axon endings. Infection with this bacterium causes botulism disease.
Mesotherapy is the technique of applying vitamins, minerals, amino acids or enzymes alone or usually as a mixture to the middle layer of the skin by microinjection. The substances to be injected are selected according to the person and the person’s wishes. Mesotherapy can be used for skin tightening, lifting, anti-aging, blemish treatment and scar treatment in the facial area.
Bichectomy, one of the aesthetic operations frequently used by those who want to achieve an ideal facial appearance, is performed to make facial lines proportionate. In some cases, even if the person is at the ideal weight, he or she may appear overweight due to the amount of fat in the existing facial structure. The fat tissue located in the middle area of the cheeks is called buccal fat tissue. This fatty tissue, located between the facial muscles, is anatomically located in the lower region of the cheekbones and is thought to contribute to sucking functions in babies. The size of this fatty tissue is one of the main factors affecting the size of the face. With aging, buccal fat tissue generally tends to decrease.
We often use fillers called hyaluronic acid in the face area, especially on the lips. Hyaluronic acid is actually a building block found in our body that has water retention properties. When this substance is depleted in the skin and subcutaneous tissue under the influence of age and environmental factors, it causes some changes that manifest themselves as volume loss. To put it simply, with filler injections, we aim to increase the amount of this water-retaining molecule in our body.
