Botulinum Toxin Application

What is Botulinum Toxin Application?

Botulinum toxin application, also known as Botox, is an aesthetic procedure. Botulinum toxin type A is a substance with muscle relaxing properties and is used for cosmetic purposes. Botulinum toxin is applied to reduce skin disorders such as lines and wrinkles as it temporarily inhibits the movements of certain muscle groups. During the application, a doctor injects Botox into designated points with a small needle. The effect of the injection can last between approximately 2 to 6 months, after which another application may be necessary. Botulinum toxin application is currently one of the most commonly used non-surgical treatment methods for beauty and aesthetic purposes. Botox can be used to reduce specific skin disorders such as eyelid lines, eyebrow lines, nose lines, and mouth corner lines. However, it is very important to perform the application correctly and to determine the dosage properly, otherwise, unwanted results may occur.

    ● Nasal lines: The procedure partially prevents the movements of the nose muscles and reduces the appearance of lines behind the nose.
    ● Mouth corner lines: Botulinum toxin helps to eliminate lines at the corners of the mouth by controlling the movements of the muscles in that area.
    ● Forehead lines: Botox reduces the appearance of forehead lines by preventing the movements of the muscles in that area.
    ● Neck lines: The Botox procedure restricts neck muscle movements and helps to eliminate lines in that area.
    ● Décolleté area: The procedure partially restricts muscle movements in the décolleté and neck area, reducing sagging and wrinkles in that area.
    ● Underarms, hands, and feet: Botulinum toxin is applied to these areas of the body due to excessive sweating. This procedure is usually preferred in the spring months.
