Especially the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the mouth and around the eyes, which give our face its characteristic lines, are the points where deep wrinkles and lines are intensely formed. Facial botox, which is the most effective way to stop these wrinkles today, does not pose 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 attaches to receptors located in muscle cells in our face. These receptors enable muscles to contract and our facial expressions to occur. Botox blocks the nerve endings by preventing our nerves from secreting acetylcholine. While it helps the facial muscles weaken, it also prevents contraction.

As a result, the appearance of wrinkles and lines is significantly reduced. It has a delaying effect on new wrinkles or lines. While botox method is preferred to eliminate moving wrinkles caused by facial expressions, static wrinkles or lines can also be eliminated with filler applications. Facial botox and filler applications can be applied together depending on the person’s needs.

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