Botox is the most effective treatment to alleviate facial expression lines that become more pronounced with age.
Botox treatments are an easy and reliable method used to alleviate or eliminate the expression lines that occur with age, as well as to prevent their formation. Botox injections are the gold standard for alleviating the lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows, the fine lines called crow’s feet that occur at the corners of the eyes, and the vertical lines on the neck that become apparent with age. Botox, which is effective in all lines caused by mimics, is a simple procedure performed by injecting the formula into the muscles with fine needles.
What is Botox?
Botox (type A botulinum toxin injection), which temporarily inhibits muscle movements, is especially effective in alleviating the appearance of forehead wrinkles, lines around the eyes, lines in the center of the eyebrows and vertical muscles in the neck. Botox treatments is the injection of the formula directly into the muscles with fine needles. It starts to show its effect within 4-7 days after the procedure and takes its final form within 10-15 days, allowing the lines to lighten while preventing the formation of new wrinkles. Botox disrupts the transmission to the muscles, the muscles cannot contract and mimic lines are temporarily lightened. The effect lasts for 3-4 months, and when the effect wears off, the face returns to its former state.
How is the Botox procedure applied?
Botox is an injection procedure. The area to be applied 20 minutes before the procedure is numbed with local anesthetic cream. After the areas to be treated are cleaned, the formula is injected into the muscle in small doses with fine-tipped needles. The whole process takes about 10-15 minutes. Small redness and swelling that may occur after Botox will disappear within 1 hour following the procedure. Botox should not be used in patients with muscle weakness, pregnant women and nursing mothers, and should be used cautiously in patients using blood thinners. There is no age limit for Botox, it can be used in every person who wants it after the age of 18 and who is uncomfortable with wrinkles.
After the procedure, cold should be applied, intense physical activity should be avoided and intense steamy environments should be avoided for 1 week. There are no restrictions on mimic movements, make-up and showering.
