“My expression looks younger — but not frozen.”

Botox® and Dysport® are brand names of medicines containing botulinum toxin type A, which have been used in medicine for many years. They are injected with very fine needles into specific facial muscles, temporarily reducing their contraction and softening the lines that repeated movements such as frowning, smiling or raising the eyebrows create in the skin.
They are most often used for forehead lines, vertical frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes. When the right dose is placed in the right points, your expressions are not lost; your face looks rested, not frozen.
Before treatment, Dr. Hakki Izmirli assesses your facial expressions and muscle structure and prepares a personalised dose and treatment plan.
Botox® is the best-known and most extensively studied botulinum toxin brand in the world. Because it spreads less at the injection site, it gives controlled results in delicate areas such as between the eyebrows and around the eyes. The effect usually lasts 3–6 months.
Dysport® is a botulinum toxin from the same active ingredient group, but it spreads slightly more widely at the injection site. This can help achieve an even result with fewer injections in larger areas such as the forehead. In some patients the effect starts a little sooner, and it also lasts about 3–6 months.
Which product suits you better is decided together during the consultation.
The treatment is completed quickly at our practice. If needed, a numbing cream is applied first; most patients describe the injections, done with very fine needles, as a slight sting.
You can return to daily life immediately afterwards. For the first few hours, avoid lying down and massaging the area, and avoid strenuous exercise, sauna and hammam on the same day. The effect starts within a few days, and the most visible result appears after about two weeks.
It varies from person to person but usually lasts 3–6 months. With regular treatments the effect can last longer over time.
The needles are very fine; most patients describe only a slight sting. A numbing cream can be used beforehand if you wish.
The effect usually starts within a few days; the most visible result appears after about two weeks.
Mild redness, swelling or small bruises may appear at the injection points and usually fade quickly. Rarely, a temporary headache or slight drooping of the eyelid may occur. Treatment by an experienced doctor minimises these risks.
Yes. Most patients return to work and daily life on the same day.
