Botox made in clinics under the stairs can cause allergic reactions.

While the demands for botox application, which is carried out to prevent signs of aging on the skin, are increasing, many people who want to do this alone are also in demand for botox products sold on the internet. Experts, on the other hand, warn against under-the-counter clinics and counterfeit products for botox, which is one of the methods that not only women but also men apply very often recently.

Faced with external factors during the day, the skin begins to show signs of aging over time. Many men and women who want to reduce these symptoms find the solution to botox. However, the increasing influence of social media in our lives makes it possible for fake advertisements to reach consumers more easily in the field of aesthetics, as in many other sectors. In addition, those who want to do botox more practically and at lower costs without resorting to aesthetic clinics are also in demand for products sold on the internet.

Warning against aesthetic products sold over the internet, Dermatology Specialist Dr. According to the Global Survey report of the “International Society of Aesthetic Surgery (ISAPS),” Hande National said, Turkey has become the 5th country in the world where the most plastic surgery procedures are performed. At the beginning of these, it ranked second in rhinoplasty and third in botox. Of course, the increase in demand for these applications has brought both positive and negative results. Under the stairs clinics multiplied, unapproved aesthetic products began to be sold. We see this situation mostly in botox, which is preferred for rejuvenation. Although Botox is called a simpler and lighter aesthetic procedure by the society, it requires expertise and experience. It is of critical importance not to apply to initiatives that do not receive health approval and not to buy products advertised on the internet. Because self-made applications at home with products of unknown origin and operations carried out by non-experts can harm health.

“Fake clinics can cause irreparable damage to patients”

The prices of aesthetic procedures and the materials to be used in them are more or less the same. Hande National said, “Botox applications performed in unauthorized clinics, which we describe as under the stairs, do not usually have the desired effect. We note that dozens of victims have undergone the same procedure over and over again and cannot get the desired result. At the same time, allergic reactions can be seen in patients who have been treated with fake botox. In addition, drooping eyelids, “It can cause eating and speaking difficulties. Therefore, I would like to underline once again that patients should take the botox procedure very seriously in terms of health.”

“Dose use is very critical in Botox application”

Explaining that botox application, which is a toxin obtained from Clostridium botulinum bacteria, is a procedure that should be done in the form of injections under appropriate conditions by a doctor who is authorized, Hande National said, “Wrinkles caused by too much facial mimic use, genetic factors or aging can be seen around the eyes, between the eyebrows, on the forehead and face. It is easily solved with botox applications on the sides of the nose. The procedures performed by professional teams with appropriate doses ensure that the person gains a youthful and fit appearance. This process takes only 10 to 15 minutes. After the procedure, patients can return to their daily life quickly and they start to see the effect of botox in 3-4 days.

Dermatology Specialist in Restylane’s international teaching staff, Dr. Hande National concluded her words as follows: “I have been working as both an instructor and a specialist in this sector for many years, and in this process, we see that many aesthetic applications, which are seen as a simple procedure, can cause serious problems in our patients if specialist physicians are not performed. “He needs to apply to clinics with professional teams. Otherwise, patients may want to rejuvenate with less cost, but may suffer from their health.”
