When you look in the mirror, does that deep line between your eyebrows make you look angrier than you are? Do you wake up in the morning with jaw pain or realize that you are clenching your teeth? Or does underarm sweating turn your social life into a nightmare during the summer months? There is a single, effective, and fast solution to all these different problems: Botox (Botulinum Toxin).
As the most preferred application in the aesthetic world for years, Botox does not just smooth out wrinkles; it is also a therapeutic method that increases quality of life.
Dr. Andan Clinic takes the principle of “naturalness” as its basis in Botox applications. The “frozen facial expression” or “surprised looks” feared by the public are the result of old techniques or inexperienced hands. With modern Botox techniques applied in our clinic, your facial expressions are preserved; only the excessive muscle activities that cause your skin to wrinkle are balanced. With Botox, which has both protective (anti-aging) and restorative effects, it is possible to achieve a fresher, more rested, and healthy appearance.
Wrinkles that form on our faces are divided into two: Dynamic (formed when making facial expressions) and Static (settled) wrinkles. Botox prevents dynamic wrinkles from becoming static—that is, from leaving permanent marks on the face. The most frequently treated areas are:
Forehead and Between Brows: Horizontal forehead lines and frown lines make a person look tired and stern. With Botox, this expression is softened and the forehead becomes smooth.
Around the Eyes (Crow’s Feet): Fine lines that form at the corners of the eyes when we smile are opened with Botox. The gaze becomes more vibrant.
Brow Lift: With millimetric doses applied to the tail part of the eyebrows, low brows are slightly lifted upward to achieve a more open gaze.
Dr. Andan Clinic aims to protect the skin without restricting the natural movement capability of the face through “Baby Botox” or “Minimal Botox” approaches.
One of the most popular applications in recent years, Masseter Botox, is performed for both health and aesthetic purposes. The “Masseter,” located on the sides of our jaw and being the strongest chewing muscle, can enlarge excessively (hypertrophy) as a result of teeth grinding (bruxism) at night due to stress or habit. This situation leads to two problems:
Health Problem: Head and jaw pain in the morning, tooth wear, and receding gums.
Aesthetic Problem: The widening of the lower part of the face as the muscle grows, causing the face to take on a square (masculine) form.
With Botox injection into the masseter muscle, the excessive activity of the muscle is stopped. Thus, the teeth grinding problem is eliminated. As the muscle is not used, it thins and shrinks over time. Consequently, the lower part of the face narrows, the angular appearance is removed, and a more elegant, thin “V-face” or “Heart-face” shape emerges. Dr. Andan Clinic focuses on the correct points that will not disturb the smile aesthetics while performing this procedure.
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is a condition that seriously affects a person’s social life and self-confidence. Especially when the sweat glands in the armpits, palms, and soles of the feet work excessively, it causes stains on clothes, odor, and a feeling of wetness. Sweat Botox stops sweat production by temporarily blocking the nerve signals going to the sweat glands.
The procedure applied to the armpits takes about 15 minutes, and its effect begins within one week. The person gains the freedom to wear any clothing they want without experiencing sweating problems even on the hottest summer days. The effect of the sweating treatment applied at Dr. Andan Clinic lasts an average of 6–8 months, although it varies from person to person.
When performed at the right time and in the right hands, Botox is the most rational way to manage the aging process. Taking precautions before wrinkles deepen and become “engraved” into the skin (preventive Botox) prevents you from needing heavier treatments in the future. Dr. Andan Clinic is your address where you can trust Botox applications with its FDA-approved products, sterile clinic environment, and expert physician staff. We are as close as an appointment to protect your youth and increase your quality of life.
No, this is entirely an urban myth. Botox is a purified protein obtained in a laboratory environment from a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. It has been used safely in medicine for over 40 years in the treatment of neurological diseases and for aesthetic purposes.
No, your face won’t look worse. When the effects of Botox wear off, your muscles start working again and your wrinkles gradually return to their previous state (as they were before the treatment). In fact, because the skin doesn’t wrinkle while Botox is in effect, the ageing process is considered to be ‘suspended’ during that period.
The effect of Botox varies from person to person, depending on muscle strength and metabolic rate. The average duration of effect is 4-6 months. In individuals who receive regular treatments, this duration may increase over time as the muscles weaken. The effect may last slightly longer in masseter and sweating Botox treatments.
Absolutely. Nowadays, our male patients often opt for male Botox, known as ‘Bro-tox’, to achieve a more dynamic and charismatic appearance. A special technique is applied that preserves masculine features without altering the brow structure.
For the first 4-6 hours after the procedure, you should remain upright, avoid bending forward and refrain from lying down. For the first 24 hours, you should not consume alcohol, engage in strenuous exercise, enter hot environments such as baths or saunas, or massage the application area. These precautions are to prevent the toxin from spreading to unwanted areas.
