Botox: Botox, one of the most preferred and reliable applications in aesthetic medicine, is preferred to alleviate wrinkles, refresh facial expressions, and achieve a natural youthful appearance. It offers effective results in many areas, from forehead lines to crow’s feet, frown lines to lip aesthetics.
Serving in his private clinic in Nişantaşı, Istanbul, Op. Dr. Hayati Kale aims for natural, balanced, and aesthetically harmonious results by individually analyzing the facial structure of each patient in botox applications.
In this article, you can find detailed information about what botox is, which areas it can be applied to, how the procedure is performed, how long its effects last, and specific applications (frown line botox, crow’s feet botox, eyebrow lift botox, lip botox).
What is Botox?
Botox, medically known as botulinum toxin, is a purified protein derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When injected into facial muscles, it temporarily stops muscle contractions and thus reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
Botox is particularly effective in alleviating dynamic wrinkles on the face (lines formed by mimic movements). This procedure not only eliminates existing wrinkles but also preserves the youthfulness of the skin by preventing the formation of new wrinkles.
Op. Dr. Hayati Kale aims to achieve natural and aesthetic results by taking into account the facial anatomy, the nature of mimics, and the individual aging process in botox applications.
Which Areas is Botox Applied To?
Botox can be applied to many areas according to different needs in facial aesthetics:
- Forehead lines (horizontal wrinkles)
- Frown lines (glabellar region)
- Wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet)
- Eyebrow lift (brow lift)
- Lines on the sides of the nose (bunny lines)
- Lines above the lip (smoker’s lines)
- Lip flip (lip contour aesthetics)
- Chin area (orange peel appearance)
- Neck lines and platysmal bands
Additionally, apart from aesthetic purposes:
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

Specific Botox Applications
1. Frown Line Botox
Lines that become prominent over time between the eyebrows can give a person a tired and stern expression. Frown line botox reduces muscle movements in this area, alleviating the appearance of lines and preventing them from deepening over time. As a result, a younger, rested, and positive facial expression is provided.
Op. Dr. Hayati Kale prevents the “frozen face” appearance by preserving natural mimics in frown line botox applications.
2. Crow’s Feet Botox
Fine wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet) become permanent with age. Crow’s feet botox prevents the excessive contraction of these muscles, alleviating wrinkles and preventing the formation of new wrinkles.
After the application, the eye area looks younger, brighter, and more energetic.
3. Eyebrow Lift Botox
As age progresses, the drooping of the eyebrows can give a tired expression around the eyes. Eyebrow lifting with botox allows the eyebrows to lift slightly with a non-surgical method. Thus, the eyes gain a more open and youthful appearance.
4. Lip Botox (Lip Flip)
Fine lines around the upper lip or the thin appearance of the lips can create aesthetic concern. Lip botox provides a fuller appearance by slightly turning the lip outward with the lip flip method and softens fine lines.
Op. Dr. Hayati Kale preserves naturalness and avoids exaggerated appearances in lip botox applications.
How is Botox Performed?
Application areas are determined before the procedure.
The skin is numbed with a local anesthetic cream.
Botulinum toxin is injected into the muscles with fine needles.
The procedure time is approximately 10-20 minutes, and one can return to daily life immediately afterward.
Dr. Hayati Kale makes a personalized plan for each patient in line with their facial mimics, skin structure, and expectations.
