Mesobotox, one of the new generation botox applications, is one of the most preferred aesthetic procedures all over the world today. It is frequently preferred by celebrities who do not want the aesthetic application to be obvious and prioritize naturalness. For this reason, it is also known as “artist botox”. Mesobotox, which is becoming increasingly common in Turkey as well as the rest of the world, is performed in our clinic.
What is Mesobotox?
Mesobotox emerged by combining the forces of mesotherapy and botox applications. Classic botox application neutralizes the nerves in the area where it is applied while removing wrinkles on the skin. Therefore, it creates a dull expression on the face. Mesotherapy, which eliminates this dull expression, preserves the skin’s elastic structure and natural appearance. Mesobotox, which is frequently preferred by artists due to this feature, is also known as “artist botox” abroad.
What is the difference between Mesobotox and Botox?
Botox is a procedure performed by injecting botulinum toxin into the muscles and nerves in the area where wrinkles are observed. In mesobotox application, botulinum toxin is injected into the fat tissue in the lower layers, not into the muscle structure. Thus, the moisture balance and elasticity of the skin is maintained. One of the aspects that distinguishes mesobotox from botox is the area where it is applied. Mesobotox can be applied to the whole body, including the face. Botox is generally a preferred procedure for the face.
How is Mesobotox Done?
Mesobotox refers to the combination of “mesotherapy” and “botox” procedures. Mesotherapy is a form of treatment that nourishes and supports the fat layer under the skin. Diluted botulinum toxin can sometimes be used in mesobotox application, which is created by combining the materials and techniques used in both methods. Products used in mesotherapy, such as hyaluronic for dilution, can also be added to the dose. Just like in botox application, injection is made with thin needles. The prepared mixture is injected into the fat layer under the skin, not into the muscle tissue. Thus, the use of facial expressions is not prevented and the naturalness of the skin is preserved. Before the procedure, the area to be treated is anesthetized with local anesthesia cream. If the expected result is not obtained from the application, the procedure can be repeated after 15 days. Mesobotox application time is slightly longer than Botox application time. The entire process is completed in approximately 30 – 40 minutes.
What is Mesobotox used for?
Mesobotox application is performed to prevent redness and sagging of the skin, just like Botox. At the end of the application, it is aimed to obtain a young, bright and vibrant skin appearance. Since it is a process that increases the moisture capacity of the skin, it gives shine to the skin. It helps tighten sagging skin, smooth out fine lines and clarify the chin oval.
Mesobotox application must be repeated regularly for it to be permanent. The effect of the procedure is permanent for an average of 3 – 12 months. This period may vary depending on the person’s skin type, age and dose applied.
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.
