Botulinum Toxin wrinkle treatment is a procedure that temporarily paralyzes the muscles at the injection site, preventing their contraction, thereby reducing movement-related wrinkles.
It is most commonly applied to the upper face area, including the forehead, between the eyebrows, and the corners of the eyes (crow’s feet), but it can also be applied to other areas such as around the mouth, chewing muscles, or neck muscles.
Upper face application helps eliminate forehead lines caused by frowning or lifting the eyebrows. Crow's feet wrinkles around the eyes show improvement. When performed by the right professionals, it reduces wrinkles and gives the face a brighter appearance without changing the person's facial expression. A slight lift of the eyebrows and opening of the eyelids is observed. In some individuals, the bunny lines, caused by the contraction of the small muscles around the nose when smiling, can also be reduced with toxin wrinkle treatment.
Perioral application helps reduce the upper lip wrinkles commonly seen in smokers. In cases of very deep wrinkles, combining with fine fillers enhances the treatment effect.
Additionally, in patients with the complaint of visible gums when smiling, the application to the sides of the nose can lead to a significant improvement in the gummy smile.
After the procedure, it is important to avoid external factors that could cause excessive sweating or heat in the treated area, such as sports, saunas, hammams, or hairdryers, within the first 24 hours. After the procedure, you should not rub the treated area, bend your head forward, or lie down for 4 hours. Any redness on the skin caused during the procedure will disappear within 15-20 minutes.
The effect of the application starts around the 3rd day, with full effects appearing between the 10th and 14th days. The immobility of the muscles gradually decreases over 4-6 months, and the muscles return to normal. Since the effect of the medication completely disappears by the end of 6 months, it does not have any lasting effects or damage on the muscles.
Botulinum Toxin wrinkle treatment should not be applied during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in the presence of certain neurological conditions. Since it does not cause sensitivity to sunlight, it can be performed both in the summer and winter. If you have any health conditions, be sure to inform your doctor when planning the treatment.
