About this procedure

Non-surgical rejuvenation procedure with botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers.

Who is it for?

Suitable

  • Individuals with expression lines on the forehead, between the brows (frown lines), and around the eyes (crow's feet) who are looking for softening with Botox
  • Patients who feel volume loss in the cheeks, lips, or chin area and want natural volume restoration with filler
  • People who are not ready for surgery but want small, gradual changes to their face
  • Adults in suitable general health who are not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Candidates with realistic expectations of the outcome — aiming for softened, refreshed expression rather than a complete loss of mimicry
  • Patients with no prior injection experience who want to start with a small dose and evaluate the process gradually

May not be suitable

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women — Botox and filler application is not recommended during this period
  • People requiring injection into an area with an active skin infection, inflammation, or a wound in the glandular tissue (treatment is required first)
  • Patients with a neuromuscular disease (for example, myasthenia gravis) who have a contraindication to botulinum toxin
  • People with a previously known allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin
  • Candidates with suspected body dysmorphic disorder or who expect an entirely different face from an injection — psychological support is recommended first
  • Patients taking blood-thinning medication who cannot stop it without consulting a doctor (increased risk of blue-purple bruising)

Suitability is confirmed only at a doctor's examination. Results are individual.

The process step by step

Anesthesia: No anesthesia required — numbing cream applied if needed · The injection process takes only 15-30 minutes in total
  1. 1

    Initial consultation and facial analysis(15-20 minutes)

    The doctor evaluates the patient's expression lines, areas of volume loss, and expectations. It is discussed whether Botox, filler, or a combination of both is needed.

  2. 2

    Contraindication check(5-10 minutes)

    Pregnancy, allergy history, current medications, and general health status are asked about. The injection is postponed if necessary.

  3. 3

    Preparing the area(10-15 minutes)

    The face is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied if needed. Injection points are marked.

  4. 4

    Injection application(15-30 minutes)

    Botulinum toxin or hyaluronic-acid-based filler is injected into the marked points with a fine needle. The dose and number of points are individualized based on facial structure.

  5. 5

    Immediate observation(10-15 minutes)

    The patient is observed for a short period afterward, and a cold compress may be applied. The patient can return to daily life the same day.

Recovery process

First few hours

There may be mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection points. The initial effect of Botox sometimes begins to be felt within a few hours.

Restriction: It is recommended not to rub the injection area and to avoid bending the face downward (for Botox, in the first few hours).

1-3 days

Mild blue-purple bruising or swelling is most visible during this period, especially after filler application. This is usually a temporary condition that resolves on its own.

Restriction: It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, sauna, pool, and prolonged sun exposure.

1-2 weeks

The full effect of Botox usually appears within 7-14 days. The volume change achieved with filler becomes more apparent as the swelling subsides.

Restriction: No special restrictions remain; daily life is fully normal.

3-6 months

The effect of Botox usually lasts 3-4 months, while filler lasts 6-18 months depending on the product used. A repeat session can be considered as the effect diminishes.

Restriction: No special restrictions; the effect gradually diminishes.

Risks and transparency

Every surgical procedure carries risks. Transparency is the basis of trust for us.

  • Redness, swelling, or blue-purple bruising at the injection point — the most common, self-resolving temporary condition
  • Temporary asymmetry with Botox (for example, one eyebrow rising slightly differently than the other), which usually self-corrects
  • Rare formation of a nodule or uneven distribution with filler
  • Very rare risk of vascular occlusion — this is why the injection must be performed by an experienced doctor
  • Possibility of an allergic reaction (rare, more likely in those with previously identified allergies)
  • A feeling of reduced expression with Botox — this is minimal at the correct dose, but some patients may notice it in the first session
  • The result is temporary, not permanent — repeat application is needed as the effect diminishes
What does the price depend on?
  • Number of areas treated (forehead, between the brows, around the eyes, cheeks, lips, etc.)
  • Number of Botox units used or amount of filler (ml)
  • Brand and origin of the product
  • Whether Botox, filler, or both are applied together
  • Experience of the clinic and the doctor

Frequently asked questions

How much do Botox and filler cost, and what does the price depend on?

The price varies depending on the number of areas treated, the brand of product used, the dose amount, and the clinic. An exact price can only be given after an in-person consultation — you can book a free consultation for this.

Are Botox or filler painful?

Since a fine needle is used, pain is usually minimal, and many patients describe it as a light needle prick. A numbing cream can be applied if needed.

When can I return to work after the procedure?

Since it is not surgical, the patient can usually return to daily life the same day. Only in the first 24 hours is it recommended to avoid activities such as strenuous exercise and sauna.

From what age are Botox and filler applied?

They are generally applied to adults over 18. For expression lines, it is usually considered after age 25-30, while for volume restoration a wider range of age groups is considered depending on individual need.

How long do Botox and filler last?

The effect of Botox usually lasts 3-4 months and then gradually diminishes. Filler can last from 6 to 18 months depending on the product used. It is important to know that the result is not permanent, and repeat sessions are needed to maintain it.

Does the result look natural?

When applied with the correct dose and technique, the result softens the facial expression naturally without completely freezing it. When the dose is excessive, the risk of an artificial appearance increases — this is why choosing an experienced doctor is very important.

Do Botox and filler leave scars?

Since the injection is done with a needle, no visible scar remains. There may be minimal redness or a small blue-purple mark in the first days, which resolves shortly.

What is the best season for Botox and filler?

Medically, a specific season is not required; they can be applied year-round. Since sun sensitivity can increase somewhat after filler, some patients pay extra attention to sun protection during the summer months.

What is the difference between Botox and filler?

Botox temporarily weakens muscle movement, softening expression lines (in areas such as the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes). Filler is a hyaluronic-acid-based gel that restores lost volume (in areas such as the cheeks, lips, and jawline). The two serve different purposes and are often applied together.

Can Botox and filler be done in the same session?

Yes, in many patients Botox for expression lines and filler for volume areas can be applied in the same session. Since the areas are different, this usually does not cause any problem — the decision is based on the doctor's assessment.

What is recommended for someone getting Botox or filler for the first time?

It is recommended to start with a small dose in the first session and evaluate the result within 1-2 weeks. This always leaves room to add more dose later and reduces the risk of an overly artificial result.
