Common Areas for Botox Injections

Botox, or botulinum toxin is the most popular non-surgical procedure in the world today. Cosmetic botox treatment corrects lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements and facial expressions.

Cosmetic botox procedure can be applied to anyone over the age of 18. Pregnant women and nursing mothers are not suitable candidates for botox. The procedure starts with applying a local anesthetic cream to the area. Then, small doses of injections are applied to certain points with botox needles. The process takes 15-20 minutes in total. Applying cold after the procedure prevents swelling and redness. Patients return to their daily lives after treatment.

Botox treatment, apart from cosmetic purposes, is also used to eliminate problems such as migraine and excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis).

 

Where does Botox Work Best on The Face?

The areas where the botox process works best in the face area are:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles around both eyes (crow's feet lines),
  • Wrinkles on the forehead,
  • Lines between the two eyebrows that cause a frowning and angry appearance,
  • Smoking lines,
  • Gummy smile,
  • Bands and wrinkles in the neck area,
  • Nasolabial wrinkles,
  • Saggy eyebrows,
  • Lines between the chin and lower lip and wrinkles on the chin,
  • Saggy cheeks.

In general, we can say that botox treatment gives impressive results on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. Botox is also used to eliminate wrinkles and signs of aging in the lower parts of the face, neck, and décolleté.

 

Post Botox Injection Process

The cosmetic application is a quick and painless procedure that gives results in 1 week to 10 days. Botox is a good alternative for patients who hesitate to undergo surgery. On the other hand, since it is a medical aesthetic procedure, the permanence of botox is up to 6 months. After this period, you can renew your botox after it loses its effect. Having botox twice a year is medically harmless. If you are looking for a more permanent solution, you can opt for surgical procedures such as facelift surgery.
