Filler migration is the unintentional movement of dermal filler material away from the original area where it was injected over time; It is caused by a combination of mechanical factors (gravity, muscular movement, massage) and biological factors (polymer hydrophilicity, tissue elasticity, inflammatory response).
Filler; They are biocompatible materials that are injected into selected areas of the face, restore volume loss, fill static lines and improve facial contour, and have varieties such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, poly-L-lactic acid and autologous oil.
The filler aspiration test is the checking for the presence of blood at the tip of the needle or cannula by retracting the syringe plunger before injection.
Filler cohesivity is a physical property that describes the tendency of gel particles to maintain their integrity with each other.
Filler nodule is a palpable, hard, mobilized mass that arises from the pathophysiological response of the tissue after the injection of dermal filler material; It is a complication divided into 3 clinical subtypes (early inflammatory nodule, late granuloma, biofilm infection). According to the Goodman 2018 algorithm, the diagnosis is determined by time, palpation features and clinical course, while treatment management includes high-dose oral antibiotics, local steroid injection, hyaluronidase reversal and rarely surgical drainage.
Filler rheology is the field that examines how a filler gel deforms and flows under force, using measurements such as elastic modulus, viscous modulus, and tan delta.
Filler ultrasound is an imaging approach that evaluates facial vessels, tissue layers, and previously applied filler material with high-frequency ultrasound.
Foot botox; It is a medical aesthetic procedure in which intradermal botulinum toxin type A is injected to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) on the sole of the foot (plantar area), and reduces the activity of eccrine sweat glands by applying it to the areas marked with the Minor iodine-starch test.

Minimally invasive aesthetic procedure performed with a combination of Botox, PDO thread and optional fractional laser, aiming to elevate the lateral eyebrow tail and lateral canthus.
Fractional CO2 laser; Carbon dioxide laser beam with a wavelength of 10,600 nm is fractionated to form heated microthermal zones (MTZ) and provides ablation (evaporation) and deep dermal remodeling on the skin surface. It is the laser treatment with the strongest indication for acne scars, signs of aging and skin texture improvement.
The frontal belly of the occipitofrontalis muscle, which pulls the forehead skin and eyebrows upward; Bilateral facial muscle, which is the primary cause of forehead lines and the main target of forehead botox.
