Botulinum Toxin (Botox)
Measured, natural-looking botulinum toxin treatment for dynamic wrinkles.
Botulinum toxin type A is a neuromodulation treatment for dynamic wrinkles using FDA- and TİTCK-approved brands (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin). Indications include the glabella, forehead, crow's feet, masseter slimming, gummy smile, and axillary hyperhidrosis. Dose and injection-point planning is individualized at consultation; over-correction or loss of expression are not acceptable outcomes.

- Glabella (between-the-brows lines)
- Forehead lines
- Crow's feet (lateral canthal lines)

Risks and contraindications
- Ptosis (eyelid/brow drop) — low risk, transient, managed under clinic follow-up.

- A 2-week follow-up allows touch-up if needed.
- Effect lasts 3–6 months on average; re-treatment cadence is individualized.
Frequently asked questions
Is Botox painful?
Very fine needles are used; the procedure takes minutes and overall discomfort is low. Topical anaesthetic can be added for sensitive zones.
How long does it last?
Typically 3–6 months. With consistent treatment, muscle memory can extend duration over time.
Can the result look natural?
Yes, with the right dose, point selection, and muscle targeting. The goal is softer dynamic lines, not loss of expression.
