Botolinum Toxin in Facial Aesthetics
Forehead, around the eyes (crow's feet), between the eyebrows, on the side wall of the nose, fine lines on the lips, wrinkles around the mouth and wrinkles and bands on the skin of the neck are formed as a result of the contraction of the facial and neck mimic muscles. The lines between the eyebrows and on the side wall of the nose cause an angry facial expression, the lines around the eyes and on the forehead cause an old and tired facial expression, and the lines around the mouth cause a sad facial expression.
By temporarily blocking the contraction of the mimic muscles in these areas of the face, Botolinum toxin eliminates the tired, angry and sad facial expression, resulting in a younger, more vigorous facial expression without wrinkles.
Botolinum toxin treatment should be done by experienced and experienced people who know the anatomy of the facial muscles well. It is applied on the muscles that cause wrinkles with a very fine-tipped needle. It is not a painful procedure, only a slight burning and pain is felt in that area. After the procedure, the area should not be rubbed so that the Botulinum does not spread to the surrounding muscles.

Botolinum for Excessive Sweating Treatment
Hand, foot and armpit sweats are eliminated for 6 months with Botolinum treatment.
It is applied to the area where sweat glands are intense after being locally numbed with cream beforehand.
Botolinum Toxin Treatment for Excessive Sweating
Botolinum toxin is used to treat a variety of medical conditions. Botolinum toxin, which is used extensively as a cosmetic treatment, is also preferred for neuromuscular disorders such as migraine, muscle spasms and hyperhidrosis. Botolinum toxin treatment is an effective method, especially in excessive sweating.
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. It refers to abnormal sweating that occurs in the absence of extreme heat (stress, intense work). Botolinum toxin injections are a new treatment option for people with hyperhidrosis. Although botulinum treatment is usually used in the armpit area for excessive sweating, it can also be used to reduce sweating in other areas such as the hands, feet and face.
How Does Botolinum Toxin Prevent Sweating?
Botolinum toxin works by blocking the nerves that activate your sweat glands. Normally, your nervous system activates your sweat glands when your body temperature rises. This is your body's way of automatically bringing itself back to its normal temperature level. However, in people with hyperhidrosis, the nerves that signal the sweat glands become overactive.
When Botolinum toxin injections are administered directly to areas of your body that sweat frequently, overactive nerves are normalized. This prevents the sweat glands from working excessively. With this method, sweating is prevented only in the areas where Botolinum toxin is applied.
Stages of Excessive Sweating Treatment Application
Botolinum toxin treatment should be administered by an experienced physician. The application does not take long and does not prevent the daily activity of the patient. The patient can immediately return to his normal life. Your doctor will inject botulinum toxin using a fine needle just under the skin surface. Equipment to prevent pain, such as ice or topical anesthetic, can be used before the procedure. Normally, a "positive iodine test" is done to determine the location of the sweat glands in people who will do it for the first time. This means that the person should not have taken a shower a day before the procedure and should not use a roller or spray under the arm.
In the clinic, iodine is applied to the patient without cleaning the armpits, and sweating areas are determined with starch powder. Thus, excessive Botolinum toxin application is prevented.
Botolinum toxin is a highly effective treatment for excessive sweating. It greatly improves the quality of life for many people. For more detailed information about the treatment, you can consult the expert staff of Izmir Aeshetic Center.

Botulinum toxin used to treat bruxism typically takes three to four months. At the end of this period, Botolinum toxin injection should be repeated by specialists.
