Especially the forehead, between the eyebrows, the corners of the mouth and the eye area, which give our face its characteristic lines, are the points where deep wrinkles and lines are formed intensively. Today, facial botox, which is the most effective way to stop these wrinkles, does not have any harm when applied in small concentrations. It is used successfully in surgery when necessary and in the field of aesthetics when necessary.

When we want to reflect and convey our emotions in daily life, a chemical called acetylcholine is secreted by our nerves. This chemical sticks to the receptors in the muscle cells on our face. These receptors allow the muscles to contract and our facial expressions to form. Botox prevents the secretion of acetylcholine by our nerves and blocks the nerve endings. It weakens the facial muscles and prevents contraction at the same time.

As a result, the appearance of wrinkles and lines is significantly reduced. It has a delaying effect for new wrinkles or lines to form. While the botox method is preferred in eliminating mobile wrinkles formed due to facial expressions, static wrinkles or lines can also be eliminated with filler applications. Depending on the person’s needs, facial botox and filler applications can be applied together.

It can be safely applied to individuals between the ages of 18 and 65, except for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. In order to ensure the continuity of its effect, the person should protect themselves from the sun and use moisturizing products. When the effects begin to fade, facial botox can be repeated. With facial botox, you get rid of your unhappy, tired, old and angry facial expression. You gain a more vigorous, energetic and youthful appearance.
