Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum Toxin is a neuromodulator that temporarily reduces the muscle movements responsible for creating wrinkles and expression lines on the skin. It is applied to diminish signs of aging in various areas of the face, including forehead lines, vertical frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. With proper planning, it provides a younger, more dynamic, and natural appearance without altering facial expressions.
Who is it suitable for?
Individuals with expression-related wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes
Those who want to reduce brow drooping and a tired facial appearance
Young adults who want to protect their skin before wrinkles form (preventive Botulinum Toxin)
People who use excessive facial expressions
Patients experiencing excessive sweating (underarm, palms, or soles — hyperhidrosis)
Those who do not want a surgical procedure and wish to achieve results in a short time
Individuals who are not pregnant or breastfeeding
Recovery Process
Most Frequently Asked Questions
How is the surgery performed?
The procedure is performed by injecting botulinum toxin into the targeted muscles using very fine needles.
Before the application, the area is thoroughly analyzed; a personalized dosage plan is created based on the patient’s facial expression strength, muscle structure, and individual needs.
How long does the surgery take?
The total duration of the Botulinum Toxin procedure is approximately 10–15 minutes. Including preparation and evaluation stages, the entire process is completed in about 20 minutes.
Is the surgery painful?
Botulinum Toxin injections generally create only a very minimal stinging sensation. Thanks to the local anesthetic cream applied before the procedure, a comfortable and pleasant experience is ensured.
How long do the results last?
The effects of Botox vary from person to person but typically last around 3–4 months.
With regular repeat treatments, the duration of the effect increases, and the deepening of wrinkles is delayed.
What are the risks?
Botulinum Toxin is a very safe procedure when performed by experienced specialists.
However, in rare cases, the following may occur:
Mild swelling, redness, and bruising
Temporary headache
Rare temporary eyebrow asymmetry
Temporary changes in smiling expressions
Allergic reaction (very rare)
All side effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days.

If no additional issues arise, a longer stay is not necessary.
Is it safe to travel by plane after the procedure?

Will language be a barrier?
