How is Facial Botox Done?

Before the facial botox application, a detailed image of the face and the area to be treated is taken. Considering the complaints and demands of the patient, the intervention is planned with the help of two-dimensional or three-dimensional simulations and the possible post-operative image is evaluated. There is no need for any preliminary preparation before facial botox. Botox should not be applied to pregnant and breastfeeding women. Patients with high blood pressure, those who use blood thinners, those with skin problems, allergies, those who have undergone surgery in the face area and those who use any medication should definitely inform the doctor before the application.

Facial Botox is injected into the muscles under the skin with the help of cannula or fine-tipped needles. The application time varies between 15 - 30 minutes depending on the application area. Since the application area is numbed with anesthetic gels and creams, no pain is felt during and after the procedure, only mild burning and soreness may be felt, these soreness can be reduced by applying ice therapy (cold compress) to the injection areas. However, heavy activities such as sports and saunas and extreme heat should be avoided for the first 2-3 days, you should not lie on your face, and botoxed areas should not be rubbed. Facial botox starts to show its effect in 2-3 days and the desired result is achieved in up to 2 weeks.
