It is a very preferred method to prevent negative situations such as wrinkles on the face, and to ensure that the person gains a youthful and fit appearance, thanks to the applications made by professional people with appropriate doses.


In which areas is Botox used?

wrinkle treatment

The working of the mimic muscles over the years makes the folds on the skin that covers it prominent and thus dynamic lines appear on the face. The most common dynamic lines are seen on the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes and around the lips. The lines on the forehead and around the eyes give the person an older look, and the lines between the eyebrows give the person a frowning, angry look. By applying Botox to the mimic muscles, the movements of these muscles can be weakened, the decrease in muscle movements also reduces the folding of the skin on it with muscle movements and the lines due to folding. In this way, a significant improvement is achieved in the facial expression that looks old and angry.
