What is Botox?
Botox is a purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinum bacteria. When injected in small, controlled amounts, it temporarily relaxes facial muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
- Neck bands
At Cayra Clinic, we offer Botox treatments in both Antalya and Istanbul, ensuring a comfortable and professional experience.
How Botox Works
Botox works by blocking nerve signals in the targeted muscles. This inhibition prevents muscle contraction, leading to a reduction in wrinkle formation. The procedure involves:
- Consultation: Assessing your medical history and aesthetic goals.
- Preparation: Cleaning and marking the treatment areas.
- Injection: Administering Botox using fine needles.
- Post-Care: Providing aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
The treatment typically takes 10–30 minutes, with minimal downtime.
Botox Results
- Onset: Results begin to appear within 3–7 days.
- Duration: Effects last between 3–6 months, varying based on individual factors.
- Maintenance: Regular treatments can help maintain a youthful appearance.
Botox Risks and Side Effects
While Botox is generally safe when administered by a qualified professional, some potential side effects include:
- Mild swelling or bruising at injection sites
- Headache or flu-like symptoms
- Temporary drooping of eyelids (rare)
It’s essential to consult with a certified practitioner to minimize risks.
