Botulinum toxin is a natural substance synthesized through biotechnology. It has been used for more than forty years in various medical specialties (ophthalmology, paediatrics, urology, etc.).

It is characterized by its relaxing properties, which are exploited in medicine for aesthetic purposes during injections into the muscles of the face. Indeed, the injection of botulinum toxin is a common method for reducing wrinkles in the face and neck. Once injected into the face, botulinum toxin then has the effect of reducing muscle contraction, maintaining however, their tone when the areas of the face concerned are in motion. This muscular relaxation at rest thus makes it possible to restore a good muscular balance in the face and therefore to soften the features in a completely natural way.

On which areas of the face to use it?

Usually the injections are performed on the upper part of the face. They correspond to forehead wrinkles, frown lines or wrinkles between the eyebrows (between the eyebrows which correspond to wrinkles when one frowns), as well as crow's feet wrinkles (around the eyes).

What happens after the injection?

The effect of botulinum toxin is not immediate, the results appear 3 to 4 days after the injection; the final effect is obtained after 14 days. We note a smoothing of the upper part of the face with less severe and/or sad features.

The result lasts between 4 to 6 months.

What are the precautions after an injection?

On the day of the botulinum toxin injection, it is recommended not to rub, massage or crush the treated areas. It is also not recommended to practice sports or expose yourself to heat (such as tanning, sauna, hammam, etc.) on the same day.

Wrinkle treatment

Botulinum toxin is commonly used for its anti-aging action on forehead wrinkles, frown lines and crow's feet wrinkles.


This treatment also has a preventive anti-aging action because it prevents the appearance of static wrinkles in these areas. The treatment consists of several Botox injections in the different areas of the face to be treated (Front, orbicular etc.).


The product is injected using syringes fitted with very fine needles, making the procedure painless. The session is quick: it lasts from a few minutes to 20 minutes depending on the number of injections planned.

Mini dose

Prevention is the key to preserving one's natural traits and charm. It is possible to perform a botulinum toxin session before wrinkles appear, in order to maintain smooth skin, devoid of the marks of time.

This involves injecting small doses of botulinum toxin in order to smooth the face without freezing the features.


Perfect for preventing skin aging and the appearance of dermal breaks.

Non-surgical eyebrow lift or brow lift

There is a new botox injection technique that can raise the eyebrow and enlarge the look.

Injections of botulinum toxin in the eyebrows, thanks to their lifting effect, then make it possible to find a young and dynamic look.


The principle is to inhibit the lowering muscles of the eyebrow and to leave active the enhancing muscle, namely the frontal muscle.

It is therefore a work of precision, during which it is the whole of the muscular structure which must be rebalanced to open the gaze and produce a lifting effect with a natural result.

Treatment of excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis

Excessive sweating, also called hyperhidrosis, refers to excessive production of sweat by the sweat glands. The sweat glands, located in the deep layer of the skin, help the body regulate its temperature. Usually, excessive sweating is not related to any health problem or disease.


Doctor Saglam performs botulinum toxin injections in the armpits to temporarily rest the sweat glands and thus stop excessive sweating.


The effect lasts between 6 to 9 months.

Gummy smile or gummy smile

The gummy smile can reveal the gums partially or totally when the subject smiles. Thus, the "tooth-gum" ratio is not considered aesthetic. Botulinum toxin injected precisely into the levator muscle of the wing of the nose and the upper lip makes it possible to remedy this problem.


The effect is visible 2 weeks later and lasts about 6 months.

Jawline slimming or refinement of the oval of the face

In case of hypertrophy of the masseter muscles, the jaw is square which gives a rather wide and unattractive face.


The injection of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles relaxes the muscles and refines the oval of the face. It also helps treat bruxism.


The result appears after 6 to 8 weeks with a duration of about 6 months

Nefertiti lift

The Nefertiti Lift is actually a neck and lower face lift. It is carried out by injections of botulinum toxin.

But in this specific case, as part of a Nefertiti Lift, botulinum toxin is injected into the lower part of the face to tighten the skin and redefine the contours of the jaw and cause a "medical lifting" effect on the neck and lower of the face.
