Treatment of Facial Wrinkles
Botulinum toxin works by reducing the function of muscles. The muscles that cause wrinkles on our face are located on our forehead, between our eyebrows and around our eyes. By applying the appropriate dose of botulinum toxin to these muscles, we can restrain these overworked muscles and prevent these wrinkles. A good knowledge of anatomy is essential to achieve a natural and effective result. Which muscle is in which part of the face, how much is applied to where and to whom, these are important issues. Physicians who perform botulinum toxin application are plastic surgery physicians, dermatology specialists and medical doctors with medical aesthetic certificates. Botulinum toxin applications applied by unauthorized persons may lead to undesirable results and the need for additional procedures to correct them.
Hand, Foot and Armpit Sweating Treatment
For some of us, sweating is a serious problem. This is a social and psychological burden, especially for people who sweat immediately when they get a little excited and whose hands and feet sweat. This condition, which is referred to as "hyperhidrosis" in medicine, can be treated with botulinum toxin application. In this application to the subcutaneous sweat glands in the hands, feet and armpits, this excessive sweating problem can be eliminated. The procedure needs to be repeated at certain intervals. It is an effective and satisfactory treatment.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Having a low (down) nose tip, especially when we laugh, is not an aesthetically desired appearance. By blocking the muscles that pull the tip of the nose down, the tip of the nose can be lifted. In non-surgical rhinoplasty, we can apply botulinum toxin in combination with filling application and rope suspension and laser treatment when necessary.
Migraine Treatment
Recent studies have shown that migraine is caused by the vessels that are compressed in the surrounding muscle tissue. Based on this information, migraine treatment with botulinum toxin has become one of the most effective and satisfying treatments of recent years. By applying it to the "trigger points" where the nerves exit and get stuck, this compression can be prevented and this compression can be treated.
Teeth Clenching and Grinding (Bruxism) Treatment
Teeth clenching and grinding are generally seen in anger and stress disorders. Although the treatment of this condition is psychiatric, botulinum toxin applications are used to control both teeth grinding and the associated jaw clicking and pain.
Face Slimming Treatment
An oval face shape is the appearance we desire to see aesthetically in women. One of the methods we use to achieve this is to thin and ovalize the chin area with botulinum toxin. In this way, we can provide the young and attractive facial features we want.
Calf Slimming
Although Laser SlimLipo is the best treatment for lower leg, calf and ankle slimming, it is possible to supplement this treatment by reducing the activity of the gastrocnemius muscle when necessary.
