Botox

What is Botox?

Botox (botulinum toxin) relaxes facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and prevent new lines—the world's most popular non-surgical anti-aging treatment with natural-looking results lasting 3-4 months.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Botox works best as prevention—starting in your late 20s/early 30s prevents deep wrinkles from forming. Treatment takes just 10-15 minutes with no downtime. Results appear in 3-14 days, peak at 2 weeks. Turkey uses genuine Botox, Dysport, and Bocouture from the same manufacturers as Western clinics.

⚠️ Insider Note: Botox is measured in "units"—not all providers quote the same way. Always confirm exactly how many units you're getting. Turkey's pricing per unit is excellent, allowing proper dosing without cutting corners. A skilled injector matters more than brand—technique determines natural vs frozen look.

Frequently Asked Questions

How painful is Botox?

Minimal—rated 2/10. Most patients describe a tiny pinch. The needles are extremely fine and injections take seconds. No numbing usually needed, though some clinics offer ice or topical anesthetic.

Is Botox safe in Turkey?

Yes—Turkey uses genuine branded products (Botox, Dysport, Bocouture) from the same pharmaceutical companies as Western clinics. Verify your clinic uses sealed, authentic vials opened in front of you.

Why is Botox cheaper in Turkey?

Lower operating costs and favorable exchange rates—not lower quality. The same Allergan Botox used in London costs less to administer in Istanbul. Turkish clinics often use proper unit counts rather than under-dosing.

How many days do I need in Turkey for Botox?

Just 1 day needed. Treatment takes 15 minutes with immediate return to activities. Many patients combine Botox with other treatments during their Turkey visit for maximum value.

How long does Botox last?

Typically 3-4 months before movement gradually returns. First-timers may find it wears off faster; regular users often get longer results. Touch-ups every 3-4 months maintain the effect.

Will I look frozen or unnatural?

Only if overdone. Skilled injectors preserve natural expression while smoothing lines. The "frozen" look comes from too many units or wrong placement. Communicate that you want natural results.

When will I see results?

Effects begin 3-7 days after injection. Full results visible at 14 days. Don't judge results until 2 weeks post-treatment. If asymmetry exists at 2 weeks, touch-up can be done.

Can I combine Botox with other treatments?

Yes—Botox pairs well with dermal fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Many patients do Botox + fillers in Turkey during the same visit, saving on multiple trips.
