Botox

WHAT IS BOTOX AND HOW IS IT DONE?
Lines appear on our face as a result of facial muscle movements. With prolonged activity of these muscles, the lines become deeper. Botox is a procedure performed to eliminate these lines on the face.

Wrinkles are most commonly seen on the forehead, around the eyes, and around the lips. Botox is applied through injection in these areas. Mild discomfort may be felt during the procedure. To reduce discomfort, topical anesthetic creams are used. Cold compresses applied before or after the procedure help prevent pain and reduce redness.

After Botox is injected into the skin, it may take 3 days to 1 week to show its effect. Medications containing vitamin E should not be used before the procedure. It is also advisable not to use aspirin or similar medications due to their blood-thinning effects. Such medications can cause swelling and bruising in the treated area after the procedure.

After the procedure, it is important to avoid facial movements for a few hours. Additionally, the treated area should not come into contact with water for 1-2 days. Massaging the area for a few days after the procedure should be avoided. Small bruises may appear in the treated area, which will disappear if the area is kept clean. It is important to get detailed information about Botox before deciding to undergo the procedure. Some side effects may occur after the procedure, which can range from mild to severe.

Botulinum toxin has recently become a frequently used and effective application in migraine treatment.

BOTOX APPLICATION FOR EXCESSIVE SWEATING TREATMENT
Excessive sweating is a health and hygiene issue that can affect one-third of the population and lead to significant confidence problems. It often occurs without any underlying disease, with common causes including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, and genetic predisposition.

People sweat in hot weather, during stress, or during sudden and strong emotional changes. Especially in summer, a person may sweat even while working in a cold environment. This is a physiological process. However, uncontrolled sweating can cause stains that create social difficulties. Excessive sweating can also lead to fungal and other skin infections.

Many people live with this problem. Those who sweat excessively may experience up to ten times more sweating than normal. The most common areas affected are the face, underarms, hands, and feet.

Botox is also used to treat excessive sweating. It effectively eliminates the problem of excessive sweating. This method is especially used for underarms, hands, and feet, and recently also for under the breasts.

It is known that sweating can sometimes be triggered solely by stress, not just by heat. This can cause psychological and social discomfort, and for working individuals, it can be embarrassing. Applying perfume, deodorant, or similar products on a sweaty body can actually worsen the odor.
