Unfortunately not. Although the fillings we currently use are quite safe, fillings should not be applied to people with an autoimmune disease or active infection. It is not possible to correct all kinds of wrinkles with filling. The face of the person should be evaluated as a whole and the main problem should be determined. Filling will only aggravate the problem, especially in people with heavy and sagging faces. The person should be evaluated correctly and the appropriate intervention should be decided.
We generally recommend botulinum toxin application for people over the age of 30. If there is excessive muscle movement at a younger age (such as severe frown), it can be done in small amounts to avoid much more dramatic results in the future. At least 3 months should pass between two applications.
Of course not. Botulunium toxin is an exotoxin of a bacterium called Clostridium botulinium. It is a powder form prepared under laboratory conditions. It must be diluted and used.
The working principle of both is different. They do not replace each other. The toxin inhibits muscle movement and is most commonly used to correct facial wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. Filling is used to fill deep wrinkles or to increase the volume.
Such a situation never arises. In general, moles that are removed are benign and do not have the potential to turn into malignant tumors. The first thing to do for skin tumors that are thought to be bad is to be surgically removed and sent to pathology. Treatment is planned according to the pathology result. In the least aggressive skin tumors, surgical removal is also the treatment. The patient is followed up by calling the controls. In more aggressive tumors, wider surgery and additional treatments can be planned.
Toxin application is the most applied non-surgical cosmetic procedure in the world. The toxic dose is very high. It has very few systemic side effects. Problems that may occur with the application usually pass in a short time.
If the excess skin is excessive, the solution is usually surgery. But in less serious cases, mesotherapy and device applications can be satisfactory in suitable patients.
Since both are needle procedures, some pain is naturally expected. However, the applications are more comfortable due to the local anesthetic creams we apply before the application and the use of much thinner and sharper needles.
