As time passes, our face changes more than other body parts. These changes appear as wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead towards the end of the 20s. Since the facial muscles are in a very close relationship with the skin, the facial expressions that occur after muscle contraction also cause wrinkling on the skin. Wrinkles that appear on the skin after using facial expressions tend to deepen over time and become permanent. Wrinkles first appear as crow's feet lines around the eyes and lines between the eyebrows and on the forehead. This condition gradually increases with the age of 30 and occurs in other parts of the face and neck over time. Many factors affect the degree of wrinkles, such as skin quality, genetic characteristics, alcohol and cigarette consumption or a stressful life. However, the less facial expressions are used, the fewer wrinkles there will be. It is possible to slow down and stop this process with early intervention. One of our most important helpers here is botulinum toxin applications. Botulinum toxin, also known as botox, is a neurotoxin produced by a special type of bacteria. It acts on the neuromuscular junction and reversibly stops the contraction of the muscle. The inactivity of the facial muscles ensures that wrinkles caused by facial expressions do not form and the existing ones disappear. It also reduces wrinkles independent of movement. With repeated applications, more wrinkles and facial aging will occur over time. Of course, it is not possible to stop time, but it is possible to stop the effects of time on our face. Botox is also used in the treatment of rabbit lines on the back of the nose, in people whose gums are visible when smiling (gummy smile), in the treatment of neck lines and bands, when applied to the corners of the mouth to lift the corners of the mouth up to create a happy facial expression. In addition, botox applied to the chewing muscle significantly improves the quality of life in patients with teeth grinding or jaw clenching; Additionally, with the massater application, it is possible to obtain a triangular face appearance from a square face appearance. Another use of Botox is sweating treatment. It provides serious benefits for people with excessive sweating in the armpits, palms and soles of the feet. It continues. My application is done in many areas with very small needles of approximately 4mm. Botox applications are a relatively painless procedure. There are no known serious side effects other than the possibility of allergy.
