Botulinum Toxin Type A is obtained from a bacterium called Clostridium and is a frequently preferred medical aesthetic application. It reduces wrinkles resulting from repeated facial movements such as blinking and frowning by blocking the nerve conduction that causes muscle contraction.
Botox is applied into the muscles. It is one of the medical aesthetic applications with the lowest risk rate, although it is painless. Its effects reach their maximum level within a few days. It is used on the face, neck and chest cleavage area.
People who have Botox should protect the area where the application is made for at least 24 hours and not touch it. Although it varies according to age and skin, its effect is observed for 4 to 8 months, and the results are more permanent if regular applications are made.
