What is this procedure?

Botox is a treatment that injects botulinum toxin (type A) to reduce wrinkles and relax specific muscles, creating a smoother, more natural look. On average, results begin to appear 1–2 weeks after treatment, and periodic repeat treatments are needed for maintenance. It is most often chosen to improve wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, between the brows, around the mouth, on the chin, and on the neck, and it is also effective for relieving muscle spasms and headaches. Although Botox is mainly used for cosmetic purposes, it is a very safe method that is also widely used for a variety of medical purposes. No hospitalization is required, you can wash your face and wear makeup 6 hours after the treatment, and no separate follow-up check-up is needed.
