Botulinum Toxin & Dermal Filler

Botulinum Toxin and filler applications are two complementary aesthetic procedures used to reduce signs of aging, contour facial features, and achieve a younger and more vibrant appearance. These non-surgical treatments are among the most preferred aesthetic procedures because they provide effective results in a short time and do not interfere with daily life.

Botulinum Toxin is a treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for facial wrinkles. It prevents the deepening of expression lines, softens existing wrinkles, and helps the face achieve a more rested appearance. It is commonly applied to areas such as forehead lines, frown lines (glabella), crow’s feet, and brow lifting. The effects typically last between 4–6 months.

Filler treatments, on the other hand, aim to restore lost volume using safe substances such as hyaluronic acid injected under the skin. They support facial contours that weaken with age, soften deep lines, and provide a more balanced facial appearance. Fillers are also used for lip shaping, jawline enhancement, nasolabial fold treatment, and under-eye light filling. Their longevity ranges from 9–18 months.

Both procedures are performed with personalized planning. Depending on facial anatomy, skin structure, and individual expectations, Botulinum Toxin and fillers can be applied together or separately. With proper technique and an expert approach, the results appear natural, balanced, and harmonious with the face.
