Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Treatment in Türkiye

What botulinum toxin is

Botulinum toxin, widely known as botox, is a purified protein used in very small, controlled doses to relax specific facial muscles. It is best suited to dynamic wrinkles, the lines that appear when you frown, raise your eyebrows or squint. Because it is not surgery, there is no incision and no extended downtime.

At Nervora Health in Türkiye, the goal is a rested and natural appearance rather than a frozen one.

How the technique works

The toxin temporarily reduces the signal between nerves and the targeted muscle, so the overlying skin creases less. A specialist uses a very fine needle to place tiny amounts at precisely mapped points. Dosing and placement are tailored to your muscle strength, brow position and facial expressions.

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Crow's feet around the eyes

Who is a suitable candidate

Healthy adults who notice expression lines and want a subtle softening are generally suitable. Botulinum toxin is usually not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in the presence of certain neuromuscular conditions, or with a known allergy to the product. Lines that are present at rest, deep static folds or skin laxity may need other approaches alone or in combination. A specialist assesses your face, history and medications before recommending treatment.

Procedure day, recovery and results

The appointment is usually short, often 15 to 30 minutes including assessment. Small marks from the injections typically fade within hours. You are commonly advised to avoid rubbing the area, intense exercise and heat for a short period afterwards.

The effect develops gradually, usually becoming noticeable within several days and reaching its full result at around two weeks. It typically lasts 3 to 6 months, after which movement slowly returns and treatment can be repeated if desired. Individual response varies.

Risks and important considerations

Possible effects include mild bruising, headache and temporary tenderness. Less commonly, product can affect neighbouring muscles, causing a drooping eyelid or brow or an uneven expression, which is usually temporary but can last several weeks. Allergic reactions are rare. Treatment should be carried out by a trained medical professional using an approved product. Outcomes cannot be guaranteed, and suitability requires individual specialist evaluation.

• Share all medications and supplements, especially blood thinners
• Follow aftercare instructions closely in the first hours

Results and recovery times vary from person to person. Every treatment starts with a medical evaluation by a licensed specialist.
