Botulinum toxin, which is a prescription medical product, temporarily reduces the transmission between the targeted muscle and the nerve. Thus, the appearance of lines formed by certain facial movements may be softened. It does not add volume like a filler and is not applied to disable all facial muscles.<\/p>\n<h2>Distinguishing dynamic and established lines<\/h2>\n<p>Lines that become more visible with facial expression on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes have a dynamic component. Skin quality, sun damage and volume change may also contribute to established lines that remain visible at rest. A plan should not be based on photographs alone without assessing the face in motion.<\/p>\n<h2>How is natural expression protected?<\/h2>\n<p>The strength of the muscles, the position of the eyebrows and eyelids, facial asymmetry and the person's expression habit are examined together. The goal is not to create a \"stiff face\", but to maintain a balanced expression while reducing excessive movement in the desired area in a controlled manner. The same point, dose or interval is not applied to everyone; this page does not promise a specific protocol.<\/p>\n<h2>Treatment and impact process<\/h2>\n<p>Small volumes of injection are administered to the muscles determined by fine needles. The effect is not completed immediately; it may become noticeable within days depending on the person and the product. The duration of the effect varies depending on muscle activity, treatment area, personal response, and previous treatments. A definitive starting date or guarantee of longevity cannot be given.<\/p>\n<h2>Who may it not be suitable for?<\/h2>\n<p>Pregnancy or breastfeeding, infection at the treatment site, certain neuromuscular disorders, current medication and known hypersensitivity to the product all require specific assessment. Eyelid drooping, dry eye, facial-nerve problems and previous adverse experiences should be disclosed to the physician. The aesthetic goal and medical risk must be considered together.<\/p>\n<h2>Possible effects and safety<\/h2>\n<p>Pain, redness, bruising or headache may be seen at the injection site. Regional effects such as temporary asymmetry, change in eyebrow or eyelid position are possible. Very rarely, if swallowing, speech or breathing difficulties develop due to the toxin affecting the muscles far from the injection site, emergency assistance is required.<\/p>\n<h2>Are botulinum toxin, fillers and skin treatments the same?<\/h2>\n<p>No. Botulinum toxin affects muscle movement, <a href=\"\/en\/tedavi\/akilli-dolgu\/\">\u201cSmart Filler\u201d<\/a> treatments under this heading address volume and contour, <a href=\"\/en\/tedavi\/cilt-genclestirme\/\">Skin Rejuvenation<\/a> approaches may address broader skin-quality goals. <a href=\"\/en\/tedavi\/sivi-yuz-germe\/\">Liquid Facelift<\/a> It can describe a combination approach.
