Botox is a treatment method that contains a substance called botulinum toxin and is injected under the skin. It temporarily relaxes the muscles and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. It is most commonly used for fine lines and wrinkles in the facial area.

Botox is generally used as an aesthetic treatment to correct fine wrinkles on facial features. It is especially applied to areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. It is also used in the treatment of migraine, excessive sweating, and jaw muscle enlargement (bruxism).

Botox is injected under the skin with fine needles. The procedure usually takes 10-15 minutes and does not require local anesthesia. You can return to your daily activities immediately after the procedure.

The effect of Botox usually lasts between 3-6 months. Over time, the muscles return to their previous state, so the treatment may need to be repeated.

Mild redness, bruising, headache, or tenderness at the injection site may occur after Botox. In rare cases, more serious complications such as drooping eyelids or asymmetry may occur, but these are usually temporary.

No, Botox is not permanent. Its effect gradually decreases and usually needs to be repeated within 3-6 months. During this period, wrinkles may become noticeable again.
