How does Botox work?
Botox works by softening the muscles that cause wrinkles. It is only effective in the area where it is made. Its effect lasts for about 4 months. Afterwards, if the same effect is desired to continue, the process is repeated.

It is normal to have slight redness after the procedure and it will disappear within a few hours. The face should not be massaged or rubbed for the first 24 hours. The person should stand upright for the first 4 hours, not bend over, and not lie face down for the first 3 days.
When does the effect of Botox begin?
Although the effect of Botox begins in approximately 3 days, it takes approximately 2 weeks for the effects to fully take effect.
How long does the effect of Botox last?
The effect of Botox lasts for an average of 4 months, sometimes it may last longer or shorter depending on the person's structure.
Should Botox be done again after its effect wears off?
The effect of botox is temporary, that is, when the effect wears off, the person's face returns to its state without botox. It does not become saggy or wrinkled, and it even has an anti-wrinkle effect as it reduces facial expressions. Therefore, it is not true that once you have Botox, it needs to be done constantly. If the person wants to continue to have the same appearance, he can have it done again.
What other treatments are performed with Botox?
Treatment of sweating with Botox: It is used in patients with excessive sweating in the armpits, palms or soles of the feet. After repeated treatments, the need for Botox decreases and the time between two treatments increases over time.

Patients with very strong masseter muscles, those who have teeth clenching problems, or those who want their jaw to have a less angular appearance will benefit from masseter botox. Generally, after one or a few applications, teeth grinding complaints decrease or disappear as the muscle will not be as strong as before.
