What is Botox?
Botox, or botulinum toxin type A, is one of the most popular and safest treatments in aesthetic medicine for addressing expression lines. It is a purified protein that acts locally on facial muscles, causing a temporary reduction in their activity. Through this action, lines that form with movement—such as frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet around the eyes—are softened or disappear. When applied correctly and in appropriate amounts, the treatment does not alter facial expressiveness, while also helping to prevent the formation of new wrinkles over time.
Botulinum toxin has been used medically for decades, initially for neurological conditions and muscle spasms. Its use in aesthetic medicine began after observations of wrinkle reduction in patients receiving the treatment for other conditions. Since then, it has evolved into a globally approved therapy for the temporary elimination of dynamic facial wrinkles.
How is the procedure performed?
Botox application is a fast, painless, and safe procedure, performed exclusively in a medical setting by a specialized physician. The session begins with a detailed assessment of facial morphology and expressive muscles. The doctor determines the injection points and dosage per area to ensure a natural, harmonious result tailored to the patient’s needs and expectations.
Next, the treatment area is cleaned, and if needed, ice or a topical anesthetic cream is applied for comfort. The injection is performed using an ultra-fine needle and takes only a few minutes. Botox is injected intramuscularly in targeted areas such as the frown lines, forehead, outer corners of the eyes, upper lip, or even the neck, depending on the case. After the application, the patient can return immediately to daily activities, provided they avoid lying down, intense exercise, and rubbing the face for 4–6 hours.
The result starts to become visible gradually after 2–5 days and is fully developed within about 10 days. Botox’s effect typically lasts 4–6 months, depending on metabolism, age, and treatment history. Repetition is recommended 2–3 times a year for consistent and long-term results.
What are the benefits of Botox treatment?
Botox is the most preferred option for treating expression wrinkles due to its effectiveness, speed, and safety. Its main benefit is the immediate improvement in appearance, without the need for downtime or long recovery periods. Dynamic wrinkles are noticeably smoothed, giving the face a refreshed and youthful look without altering facial expressiveness or natural features.
Moreover, Botox also acts preventively, stopping the permanent formation of expression lines, especially when started at a relatively young age. The treatment is entirely safe when performed by an experienced physician, offering predictable and repeatable results. Another advantage is its use in non-aesthetic indications, such as hyperhidrosis (e.g., underarms or palms), migraines, and bruxism.
Botox is a discreet yet highly effective rejuvenation method suitable for both women and men of all ages—especially those who want to enhance their appearance without invasive procedures or long recovery times.
