Botulinum
Botulinum toxin injections are used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, creating a more rested facial expression. Fine lines can form between the eyebrows and around the eyes due to facial expressions. This treatment helps reduce the appearance of these lines by temporarily relaxing these muscles.
How is Botulinum Toxin Injected?
Botulinum toxin injections are used to reduce the appearance of lines caused by facial expressions. Before the procedure, the person's facial structure, facial expression habits, and skin condition are evaluated. After determining the muscle groups to be treated, very fine needles are used. A substance containing botulinum toxin is injected in small doses into the designated areas. The procedure is usually completed quickly and often does not require anesthesia. After the application, the person can quickly return to their daily life. The effect of botulinum usually begins to be seen within a few days. The appearance of lines may decrease due to the temporary relaxation of the facial muscles.
