How does Botox work?

It temporarily restricts muscle movement in the area where it is applied. Thus, the wrinkles on the face that occur when making various facial expressions are temporarily eliminated. Botox is not a surgical method like a facelift, but an injection application. Your doctor will explain its effect on your face. We use the Vectra M3 3D imaging method to get the closest result before the application and show you what you will look like after the application.

Is Botox harmful to the body?

Since the aesthetic Botox application used to remove wrinkles is a very low dose, it does not enter the general circulation. It has no harm to the body. Botulinum toxin, which has been used in modern medicine since the 1980s and has FDA approval, is a drug brought to Turkey with the permission of the Ministry of Health.
