Botox

Botox​

Botulinum toxin is the toxin of a bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum. This toxin prevents the release of substances that will cause the muscles to contract from the nerve endings, preventing the muscle from working. With this mechanism, botox causes no or little contraction of the muscles in the area where it is applied. This effect is completely specific to the nerve, therefore to a single region.

 

Botox can be applied to many areas as needed. If it is applied to the mimic muscles in the forehead, middle of the eyebrows, or crow's feet, wrinkles caused by these muscles in that area are prevented. With the application in the corner of the mouth, the sad appearance can be prevented. The gingival visibility that occurs with smiling can be reduced. The band appearance in the neck area can be prevented. Clenching of teeth can be prevented or alleviated by applying it to the jaw muscles. In addition, by applying it to some points on the scalp, the severity of migraine pain can be reduced, and even attacks can be completely prevented in some patients. In addition, the problem of excessive sweating can be solved by applying it to the armpits, palms, and soles.

The procedure is done using very fine needles called microfine. In this way, the application is carried out painlessly. People with a high sensitivity to pain may experience a slight burning sensation. This feeling passes in a few seconds. After the application, ice is applied for 5-10 minutes. Its effect begins to be felt after 3-4 days and it takes 10 days to fully settle. In the control after 10 days, if necessary, retouching is done.
