With the help of Botox injection, the function of the muscle is temporarily stopped. It blocks or stops the incoming signals for the muscle to perform its function. This prevents the muscles from contracting and prevents the area from wrinkling. This method can be applied to different parts of our body for aesthetic purposes, but it is especially preferred in the face area.

It is also applied to prevent wrinkles and sagging caused by laughing. Botulinum toxin procedures are suitable for anyone between the ages of 18-65. However, it is not suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding people to have Botox.

Botox usually takes 15 minutes. It takes 24-72 hours for the injected substance to show its effect. Sometimes this period can be extended to six or seven days. Side effects that may occur after the procedure require medical attention.

Swelling and redness at the injection site, bruising, and eyelid drooping are some of the side effects. After the operations on the upper lip area, the doctor should be consulted if it causes reactions such as crooked laughter or drooling.

One or two weeks after the Botox process, effects such as muscle weakness, vision problems, and loss of bladder control are serious side effects. Injected botulinum toxin can cause respiratory insufficiency and death. Botulinum toxin is produced by a bacteria named clostridium botulinum in laboratories.
