Botok

Many factors such as aging, genetic factors, sun exposure, stress, smoking, environmental factors ( e.g. air pollution ) damage the skin and cause a decrease in the elasticity and also the formation of unwanted wrinkles.

Botok is one of the biggest weapons that plastic surgery has to reduce and delay these effects. Botok is a medical protein produced by using bacteria in a laboratory environment. Its main function is to prevent the dynamic lines that occur after the movement of the muscle by blocking the muscle and nerve conduction. Botok prevents contraction of the muscle by cutting its connection with the nerve, and ensures that existing lines regress and new ones do not form.

It has been used for cosmetic purposes since 2002 with FDA approval.

It is most commonly used in the treatment of bands between the eyebrows, forehead lines, crow’s feet and neck. Another common area of use is excessive sweating in the armpits, hands and feet, which is called hyperhidrosis.

Local anesthetic creams can be applied before the application. There is no recovery process. You can return to daily activities immediately afterward. There is no standardized botok application. Planning is made during the doctor’s examination, which is carried out considering the needs and wishes of the person.

Following the cleaning of the area that botok is needed, the appropriate amount of drug is injected into the points determined, with very fine caliber needles, according to the plan made during the examination. There are 43 muscles on our face. The most important point of the process is to protect the natural mimic structure by injecting only into the muscles that cause wrinkles. It is inevitable to encounter undesirable results in applications performed by people who don’t have the knowledge of anatomy and do not have the necessary license (plastic surgery and dermatology specialist).

It is important not to massage that area after the application, and to stay away from activities that may cause the drug to go out of the area, such as sauna, spa, very hot shower.

The effect is noticed a few days after the application, but the full result is observed within 7-10 days. Although there are individual differences, the effectiveness may decrease over time and extend up to 6 months. As the applications are repeated at regular intervals, this period may increase to 8-10 months. If the application is not continued, the existing wrinkles will not increase or worsen.

Botok is the safest, fastest and most practical method for the solution of dynamic wrinkles.
