FAQ

Which brand is best?
No 'best', varies by target: Botox (Allergan): Global gold standard, widest clinical data, 3-6 months. Dysport: Fast onset (2-3 days), wide diffusion — good for forehead. Xeomin: Pure BoNT-A, low antibody risk — ideal for long-term users. Daxxify: 6-9 months longest duration. Nabota/Letybo: More affordable, effect equivalent to Botox.
Duration?
By brand and area: Botox/Vistabel: 3-6 months. Dysport/Azzalure: 3-4 months. Xeomin: 3-4 months. Nabota/Letybo: 3-4 months. Daxxify: 6-9 months (longest). Masseter Botox 4-6 months, fine lines 3-4 months.
Suitable age?
25-30: Early preventive (before expression lines set). 30-50: Classic indication. 50+: Filler + Botox combination. Prophylactic (preventive) Botox scientifically supported for 25+ age.
Frozen face?
NO — natural look achieved with right dose + right technique. Experienced Team adopts conservative approach. 'Frozen face' usually result of excessive dose or wrong muscle selection. Experienced Team prefers 'natural Botox' protocol.
Painful?
Very mild — only stinging sensation with BD 30G ultra-fine needle. EMLA topical anesthesia optional. Most patients describe '3/10 pain'. Takes 5-10 minutes.
Side effects?
Very rare: 24-48 hours mild headache (5%), bruising (<5%), eyelid drooping/ptosis (<1%, very rare, with experienced injector). Experienced Team with anatomy knowledge → minimum complications.
Safe in pregnancy?
NO — category C (insufficient data). Botox postponed during pregnancy + breastfeeding. Returns to normal protocol after birth + breastfeeding ends.
Post-Botox do nots?
24 hours: No massage, no bending in lying position, no heavy exercise, less alcohol. 48 hours: No sauna, hammam, high heat exposure. These rules prevent toxin from spreading to other muscles.
Who performs Aesthetic Botox?
Aesthetic Botox and all aesthetic and surgical procedures are planned and personally performed by Op. Dr. Selman Taşkın, Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. A graduate of İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine with reconstructive microsurgery experience at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (Taiwan), Dr. Taşkın's expertise is the foundation of safe, natural results.
How does Botox work and what is it used for?
Botox temporarily relaxes muscle movement to soften expression lines (forehead, between the brows, around the eyes); with the right dose I aim for a lively yet rested look.
Is Botox safe?
With approved products, in expert hands and at the correct dose, Botox is very safe and one of the most performed aesthetic procedures in the world.
How long does Botox last?
The effect usually lasts 4–6 months; with repeated treatments the duration can lengthen as the muscles weaken.
Does Botox look natural or frozen?
My aim is never a frozen face; with a personalised dose and injection plan I preserve expression for a natural, rested appearance.
Is Botox application painful?
Because very fine needles are used the pain is minimal; the procedure takes a few minutes and usually needs no anaesthesia.
When does Botox start to work?
The first effect is seen in 3–5 days and the full result settles in 10–14 days, which is why I review at two weeks.
Does Botox have side effects?
There may be temporary mild redness or bruising at the injection site; with correct technique no serious side effects are expected.
How often should Botox be repeated?
When the effect fades, repetition is usually recommended every 4–6 months; regular treatment prevents lines from deepening.
Does Botox permanently prevent wrinkles?
Early, regular treatment delays expression lines from becoming permanent wrinkles, which is why it is also chosen preventively.
Who can and cannot have Botox?
Most healthy adults are suitable; it is not given to pregnant or breastfeeding women or those with certain neuromuscular conditions, and I assess suitability at the examination.
