Botox Against Wrinkles
Botulinum toxin, known as Botox, is a purified neurotoxin that is a product of the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium. The action of Botox lies in relaxing the muscles because it is excessive muscle activity that leads to the appearance of wrinkles. In this way, muscles are trained to be less active, thus preventing the formation of new wrinkles on the face. The wrinkles which are most commonly and successfully treated with Botox are forehead wrinkles, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet wrinkles that appear on the sides of the eyes. These wrinkles are called dynamic, and they show up when a person smiles, frowns, gets angry, or cries. Static wrinkles can be present on the face regardless of a person's facial expressions, due to volume loss, tone loss, and other skin problems.

Candidates
Botox is an ideal treatment for anyone who wants to reduce and eliminate existing wrinkles and prevent the appearance of new ones.
- People with strong facial expressions,
- People with visible wrinkles on the face,
- People with healthy skin that has moderate elasticity but shows signs of aging.
In addition to the undeniable effectiveness of this treatment, it is important to know who can undergo Botox treatment. Botox treatment is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, people with active skin inflammations, or people with neurological disorders.
Preparation
Botox treatment does not involve any special preparation. Before starting the treatment, the doctor will study the constitution of your face and the arrangement of facial muscles to precisely determine the locations for Botox application.
Operation time
The face is first thoroughly cleaned, and an anesthetic cream is applied to reduce discomfort. Then, using a very fine needle, the doctor carefully injects a small amount of the product at precisely determined locations. It is important to note that only the muscles contributing to wrinkle formation are selected, so natural facial expressions and all other facial muscles remain preserved. The duration of the procedure is about 15 minutes.
When do botox results become visible?
Botox results begin to be clear 2 to 3 days after the procedure and can last up to 6 months. The more times the treatment is repeated, the longer the results last.
Recovery
Patients can freely return to their daily activities after Botox treatment. There may be minor swelling or redness at the needle injection sites, but these quickly fade. When it comes to Botox, recovery is not required. However, it is desirable to remain upright for 2 hours after the treatment, avoid exposure to the sun, pressing the treated areas, and excessive activation of facial muscles.
Safety precautions
Botox treatment does not carry any special risks when performed by trained medical personnel. Complications such as temporary drooping of the upper eyelid or eyebrows are rare. To prevent irritations, it is not recommended to use aggressive cosmetics and makeup 24 hours after the treatment, nor expose the skin to the sun, pool, sauna, or activities that can cause excessive sweating.
