TREATMENTS WITH BOTULINUM TOXIN


Botulinum toxin treatment, or Botox, is the elimination of wrinkles on the skin by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles by injecting the toxin into the muscle. The procedure takes 5 minutes and the average durability is 4 to 6 months. The treatment is usually performed around the eyes, between the eyebrows and forehead, in the area above the lips called the smoker's crease, and on the neck. There is no age limit for Botox, but generally this procedure can be performed from the age when patients' wrinkles start to form. The age between 25-65 is ideal for botox treatment. Botox is the toxin of a bacterium, and Botox is used in many fields. In aesthetic surgery, it is used to treat wrinkles. The belief that the skin deteriorates 4 to 5 months after Botox is false. The skin returns to its condition before Botox treatment. As the person feels better due to the wrinkle removal, the procedure can be repeated after 4 to 5 months. For those who want to be treated once a year, it may be recommended to do it in the summer, as this protects the face from wrinkles caused by the sun, but it is still recommended to do the treatment every 4-6 months.
