NON-SURGICAL AESTHETIC PROCEDURES / BOTOX

Botox is a drug that has become widely used since 1970s particularly by ophthalmologists, neurologists and physical therapists for the treatment of various muscle conditions and has found its uses for aesthetic purposes for the last 15-20 years. With Botox injection, mimic muscles that are over-used become relaxed causing wrinkles to lessen. Areas where Botox is widely used can be outlined as follows:

1- Wrinkles around the eye (also called goose feet)
2- Vertical lines caused by frowning
3- Horizontal lines on the forehead
4- Wrinkles on the nose

5- Eyebrow lifting
6- Sweating under arms, in hands and under feet
Botox lasts around 20-30 minutes and right after the operation, you can go on with your daily life. The effect of Botox would be visible 2-7 days after the operation and lasts around 3-6 months. At the end of this period, a new Botox application would be necessary. However there are studies demonstrating that repeated injections prolong the intervals between two treatments.
In certain patients, bruises might occur following the Botox injection. Other side effects include sagging of eyelids and eye muscles but these are quite rare. These are transient effects and the risk of observing these side effects are quite low when the correct technique is used.
Botox is not applied to pregnant and lactating women and individuals with certain rare neurological and muscle diseases.
