Neurotoxin (BOTOX®) Applications
The process only takes a few minutes. It is an extremely successful treatment method that largely eliminates frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines on the forehead and crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes with neurotoxin applications. In addition, these results are optimized and a high level of success is achieved with the dermal fillers and laser treatments that can be applied together. Botox® applications are almost painless thanks to topical anesthetic creams, and the effectiveness of the treatment lasts for an average of 4-6 months. We recommend these types of neurotoxin treatments to create a more youthful and pleasant appearance on your face.
What is BOTOX®? And how does its effect occur?
BOTOX® is the brand name for a product based on botulinum toxin type A, a product derived from the bacterium clostridium botullinum. These neurotoxins are used in the field of medical aesthetics to temporarily remove wrinkles by blocking signals from nerves to certain facial muscles.
How Much Recovery Time is Required for BOTOX®?
After this type of treatment, you can return to work immediately without being stopped from work. You can resume most normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, we recommend that you do not rub or massage the treated areas, as the toxin may spread to different areas. We also recommend that you avoid strenuous exercise activities for at least four hours after the procedure.
How Safe is BOTOX® application?
As stated by the manufacturer, BOTOX® is supported by over 15 years of clinical research and is approved for use in 96 countries. The safety and effectiveness of these products have been described in nearly 500 articles in medical and scientific journals. For this reason, BOTOX® treatment is considered one of the safest and most effective aesthetic procedures. For this reason, it is an application that is widely popular and has high patient satisfaction.
How Many Units Will I Need?
After the initial examination, a treatment plan will be prepared taking into account the treatment goals of each patient according to the facial anatomy and the localization and prevalence of wrinkles on the face. Within the framework of this plan, a special treatment is applied to each patient. For this reason, the amount of units to be administered will vary greatly from patient to patient. However, on average, 30-50 units of Botox® are administered to each patient.
