Botoks
10 pitanja
What is Botoks and how does it work?
Botoks (botulinum toxin type A) is an FDA-approved medical aesthetic tretman that addresses dynamic wrinkles by injecting micro-doses into facial muscles. It temporarily blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, preventing excessive muscle contraction. This significantly reduces forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. The procedure takes approximately 10-15 minutes and patients can resume daily activities immediately. Dr. Hamza Gemici customizes dosing to each patient's facial anatomy to preserve natural expression.
Open question page →When do Botoks results appear and how long do they last?
Botoks effects begin to show 3-5 days after injection and reach full effect within 10-14 days. Rezultati typically last 3-6 months, varying based on individual metabolism, muscle structure, and tretman area. Patients who maintain regular tretmani may experience longer-lasting effects as muscles gradually thin over time. For optimal results, repeat sessions every 3-4 months are recommended. During your first tretman, Dr. Gemici will determine your personal response duration and create a customized follow-up schedule.
Open question page →Is the Botoks procedure painful?
Because Botoks injections use ultra-fine needles (30-32 gauge), most patients report only a mild pricking sensation without significant pain. Ice or topical anesthetic cream can be applied beforehand if desired. The procedure generally takes 10-15 minutes and requires no recovery time. Rare mild redness or small bruises at injection sites typically resolve within a few hours.
Open question page →What should I do and avoid after Botoks tretman?
Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for the first 4 hours. Refrain from intense exercise, sauna, steam rooms, and hot showers for 24 hours, as these accelerate blood circulation. Limit alcohol consumption on the day of injection. Stay upright for the first 4 hours — avoid lying down or bending forward. Following these guidelines ensures Botoks remains precisely where it was placed for optimal results.
Open question page →Which areas can be treated with Botoks?
The most common tretman areas include forehead lines, glabellar (frown) lines, and crow's feet around the eyes. Botoks can also be applied to bunny lines on the nose, smoker's lines above the lip, jaw tension (masseter Botoks), neck bands (platysma), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and gummy smile correction. Dr. Gemici determines which areas require tretman based on a comprehensive facial analysis, creating a personalized plan for the most natural result.
Open question page →Does Botoks look natural or cause a frozen expression?
When administered at the correct dosage by an experienced physician, Botoks delivers an entirely natural appearance. The "frozen face" effect typically results from over-dosing or incorrect injection points. Dr. Gemici works with a "less is more" philosophy, using the minimum effective dose to preserve each patient's natural expressions. A conservative approach is preferred for first-time patients, with optional touch-ups at the two-week follow-up.
Open question page →Who should not get Botoks?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women, individuals with botulinum toxin allergies, those with neuromuscular diseases (such as myasthenia gravis), and anyone with active infection at the injection site should not receive Botoks. Patients taking blood thinners should consult their physician before tretman. Dr. Gemici conducts a thorough health assessment before every session to ensure the procedure is safe for you.
Open question page →How is Botoks tretman priced?
Cene is determined by the number of tretman areas, units required, and the Botoks brand selected. Since every patient's muscle structure and needs differ, a personalized assessment replaces standardized pricing. For current pricing information and a personalized tretman plan, you can schedule a consultation via WhatsApp or through our website.
Open question page →What is masseter Botoks and does it slim the jawline?
Masseter Botoks is a botulinum toxin tretman applied to the chewing muscle (masseter). It is highly effective for treating bruxism (teeth grinding) and slimming the facial contour. An overdeveloped masseter muscle gives the face a square appearance; Botoks reduces this muscle, allowing the facial line to become oval and refined. Effects become visible within 2-4 weeks and last 4-6 months. It also provides significant relief from jaw pain and headaches.
Open question page →Can Botoks prevent wrinkles before they form (preventive Botoks)?
Yes, "baby Botoks" or preventive Botoks involves low-dose application for patients aged 25-30 to prevent wrinkles before they deepen. Early, light-dose tretmani prevent muscles from creating deep-set wrinkles. This approach reduces the need for more extensive tretmani later, offering both aesthetic and economic advantages over the long term.
Open question page →Dermalni fileri
10 pitanja
What are dermal fileri and what are they made of?
Dermal fileri are gel-consistency substances injected beneath the skin, primarily based on hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body with high water-retention capacity. Filer tretmani restore lost facial volume, fill wrinkles, and reshape facial contours. FDA/CE-approved products like Juvederm, Restylane, and Teoxane are used. Dr. Gemici selects the optimal filer type and density for each area to achieve natural results.
Open question page →Which areas can be treated with dermal fileri?
The most common filer areas include lip augmentation (volume and shape), nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth corners), cheek augmentation (cheekbone and mid-face volume), chin and jawline contouring, under-eye hollows (tear trough), temple hollowing, and hand podmladjivanje. Fileri can also be used for non-surgical rhinoplasty (nose reshaping). Different filer consistencies and formulations are selected for each tretman area.
Open question page →How long do filer results last?
Hyaluronic acid fileri remain effective for 6-18 months depending on the area and product type. Lip fileri generally last 6-9 months, while cheek and chin fileri last 12-18 months. The body's natural metabolism gradually absorbs the filer over time. Regular maintenance sessions ensure continuity of results. In some patients, repeated tretmani may extend duration as fileri also stimulate collagen production.
Open question page →Is the filer procedure painful?
Most modern filer products contain lidocaine (local anesthetic), which minimizes discomfort during injection. Topical anesthetic cream or ice can be applied to the area beforehand. Patients typically report only mild pressure. For sensitive areas like lips, nerve block technique can be used to provide a completely painless experience.
Open question page →What is the recovery process after fileri?
Mild swelling, redness, and occasionally small bruises may appear after tretman; these resolve within 2-5 days. Rezultati are visible immediately but final results are assessed 1-2 weeks after swelling subsides. Avoiding intense exercise, alcohol, and extreme heat for the first 24 hours is recommended. Makeup can be applied 12 hours after tretman. Normal social activities can be resumed the same day.
Open question page →Can fileri be reversed (dissolved)?
One of the greatest advantages of hyaluronic acid-based fileri is their reversibility. By injecting hyaluronidase enzyme, filer can be dissolved if an undesirable result occurs. This safety feature distinguishes HA fileri from other filer types and allows patients to experience the tretman with peace of mind. Dr. Gemici always prefers HA-based fileri for initial tretmani.
Open question page →Do lip fileri look natural?
When applied by an experienced physician using proper technique and appropriate volume, lip fileri look completely natural. Dr. Gemici evaluates lip anatomy, facial proportions, and patient expectations to create a personalized plan. The "duck lip" appearance results from incorrect technique or excessive volume. A gradual approach starts conservatively and builds to ideal volume, with additional filer added at follow-up if needed.
Open question page →What is non-surgical rhinoplasty (nose filer)?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses hyaluronic acid to correct the nose shape without surgery. It can camouflage dorsal bumps, lift the nasal tip, and correct mild asymmetries. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes, results are immediate, and they last 12-18 months. It is ideal for patients seeking a surgical alternative or wanting to preview results before committing to surgery.
Open question page →Is under-eye filer (tear trough tretman) safe?
Under-eye filer is an advanced procedure that corrects hollowing and dark circles beneath the eyes. Because this area is delicate, it must be performed by an experienced physician using thin-consistency HA filer. Dr. Gemici uses the cannula technique to minimize bruising risk. Rezultati last 12-18 months and the vast majority of patients report high satisfaction. A detailed under-eye analysis is conducted before the procedure.
Open question page →Can fileri and Botoks be combined in one session?
Yes, fileri and Botoks are complementary tretmani and can be applied in the same session. Botoks treats dynamic wrinkles (caused by muscle movement) while fileri restore volume loss and fill static wrinkles. This combination, known as a "liquid facelift," provides comprehensive podmladjivanje without surgery. Dr. Gemici determines which tretman applies to which area after a thorough facial analysis.
Open question page →Podmladjivanje koze
10 pitanja
What skin podmladjivanje tretmani are available?
Skin podmladjivanje encompasses a wide range of tretmani aimed at improving skin quality, radiance, and elasticity. Our clinic offers Profhilo, mezoterapija, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), skin boosters, chemical peels, microneedling, and laser tretmani. Each works through different mechanisms: stimulating collagen production, accelerating cell renewal, or optimizing skin hydration. Dr. Gemici determines the most suitable tretman combination based on a thorough skin analysis.
Open question page →What is Profhilo and how does it differ from fileri?
Profhilo is a CE-marked (EU) and TİTCK-approved (Türkiye) biological remodeling tretman containing high-concentration (32 mg/ml) pure hyaluronic acid; it is not FDA-approved in the United States as a dermal filer. Unlike traditional fileri, it does not add volume but remodels the skin structure from within. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, delivering firmness, radiance, and hydration. Applied to the face, neck, décolletage, and hands via 5 injection points (BAP technique), visible improvement appears after 2 sessions (4 weeks apart) and effects last 6-9 months.
Open question page →What are skin boosters and what do they do?
Skin boosters are hydration tretmani using low-cross-linked hyaluronic acid and vitamin cocktails delivered via micro-injections beneath the skin. They deeply hydrate, reduce fine lines, and restore natural radiance. Ideal for patients experiencing dryness, dullness, and fine wrinkles. Three to four sessions are recommended (2-4 weeks apart) with results lasting approximately 6 months. Can be applied to the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
Open question page →How is PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy performed?
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount (10-20 ml) of the patient's own blood, processing it in a specialized centrifuge to obtain growth-factor-rich plasma, and injecting this plasma into areas requiring podmladjivanje. It activates the body's own healing mechanisms, increasing collagen synthesis and improving skin texture. PRP is also used for hair loss tretman. Allergic reaction risk is virtually zero because the patient's own biological material is used.
Open question page →What does chemical peeling treat and who is it suitable for?
Chemical peeling removes the upper skin layers in a controlled manner, revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath. It treats dark spots, fine wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. opcije include superficial (glycolic acid, lactic acid), medium (TCA), and deep peels. The appropriate depth is selected based on skin type and concern. It should not be performed during sun-sensitive periods, and post-tretman sunscreen use is essential.
Open question page →What is mezoterapija and how is it used for skin podmladjivanje?
Mezoterapija involves micro-injecting specialized cocktails containing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants beneath the skin. It nourishes, hydrates, and supports skin renewal, improving brightness, firmness, and tone. Typically 4-6 sessions are applied (1-2 weeks apart). It can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and scalp. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and patients can resume daily activities immediately.
Open question page →How is neck and décolletage podmladjivanje performed?
The neck and décolletage have thinner skin than the face, showing early signs of aging. These areas are treated with Profhilo, mezoterapija, PRP, and laser combination therapies. Profhilo is particularly effective for these regions as it remodels the skin structure. The tretman plan is personalized based on skin condition, typically requiring 3-6 sessions.
Open question page →How is pigmentation (dark spots) treated?
Pigmentation tretman varies based on spot type (sun spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation) and depth, using chemical peels, laser, mezoterapija, or topical tretmani individually or in combination. Surface-level spots show significant improvement in 2-4 sessions, while deeper pigmentation may require longer tretman. Sun protection is critical for success — daily SPF 50+ sunscreen use is essential.
Open question page →At what age should skin podmladjivanje tretmani begin?
Skin podmladjivanje tretmani are determined by skin needs rather than age. Ages 25-30 may benefit from preventive tretmani (skin boosters, mezoterapija), ages 30-40 from active podmladjivanje (Profhilo, PRP), and 40+ from intensive regeneration protocols. Starting care early slows the aging process and reduces the need for more invasive tretmani later.
Open question page →What is microneedling and who is it suitable for?
Mikroiglice creates micro-channels in the skin to trigger the body's natural healing process and boost collagen production. It is effective for acne scars, enlarged pores, fine wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. When combined with PRP ("vampire facial"), its effectiveness multiplies. Three to six sessions (4-6 weeks apart) are recommended. Mild redness lasting 24-48 hours may occur post-tretman.

What is a non-surgical facelift and how is it performed?
Non-surgical facelift encompasses tretmani that tighten and rejuvenate facial contours without surgery. This includes filer injections for volume restoration, Botoks for muscle relaxation, Profhilo for skin tightening, and thread lift procedures. The "liquid facelift" combining filer and Botoks delivers many effects of a surgical facelift without downtime. Dr. Gemici determines the most suitable technique based on each patient's facial anatomy and aging pattern.
Open question page →What is a liquid facelift and who is it suitable for?
A liquid facelift reshapes, lifts, and rejuvenates facial contours through strategic filer and Botoks injections at key points. It is ideal for patients aged 35-60 with mild to moderate facial sagging, volume loss, and wrinkles. It can be performed in a single session, results are immediate, and patients return to daily activities the same day. It provides natural podmladjivanje without surgical risks.
Open question page →What is the fox eye tretman?
Fox eye creates an almond-shaped, lifted, and youthful eye appearance by elevating the outer eye corners and brow tail. It can be performed using Botoks, filer, or thread techniques individually or in combination. The procedure takes 20-30 minutes with immediate results. The method chosen depends on the patient's anatomical structure and expectations.
Open question page →What is lipolysis (fat dissolving) and is it used on the face?
Lipolysis is a tretman that dissolves localized fat deposits through injection. On the face, it is especially applied to stubborn fat accumulations in the submental (double chin) and cheek areas. Deoxycholic acid-based injections break down fat cells, which the body then eliminates naturally. Two to four sessions (4-6 weeks apart) may be needed. It is ideal for patients seeking a more defined jawline and facial contour.
Open question page →What is a lip flip and how does it differ from lip filer?
A lip flip uses a small amount of Botoks to gently relax the muscle at the lip border, making the upper lip's vermillion more visible. Unlike lip filer, it doesn't add volume — it subtly rolls the existing lip outward for a fuller appearance. Combined with lip filer, it produces excellent results. The procedure takes 5 minutes, effects begin in 2-3 days, and last 2-3 months.
Open question page →Skin longevity
8 pitanja
What is Skin longevity and how does it differ from regular skincare?
Skin longevity is a holistic protocol developed by Dr. Hamza Gemici to slow biological skin aging and support long-term skin health through a science-based approach. While traditional skincare focuses on treating existing problems, Skin longevity follows a preventive and restorative strategy at the cellular level. A SkinSpan test determines your skin's biological age, then a personalized tretman roadmap is created.
Open question page →What is the SkinSpan test and how is it performed?
The SkinSpan test is a scientific assessment system measuring your skin's biological age compared to your chronological age. Parameters including skin elasticity, moisture levels, collagen density, pigmentation status, and environmental damage levels are analyzed. The test determines your skin's true age and a personalized Skin longevity protocol is created based on this data. The test is completed in approximately 30 minutes at the clinic and is painless.
Open question page →What tretmani does the Skin longevity protocol include?
The protocol includes strategic combinations of PRP (platelet-rich plasma), Profhilo, mezoterapija, microneedling, biostimulant fileri, salmon DNA (PDRN), laser skin resurfacing, and monopolar radiofrequency — tailored to the skin's needs. Each tretman serves a specific purpose: collagen renewal, cellular regeneration, deep hydration, or skin tightening. The combination and sequence are determined by the patient's SkinSpan test results.
Open question page →At what age can Skin longevity tretman begin?
Skin longevity can begin at any age; the goal varies accordingly. In the 20s, preventive protocols are applied, while ages 30-40 target active regeneration and reversing early aging signs. After 40, the focus shifts to intensive repair and sustainable podmladjivanje. Starting a Skin longevity protocol early is the most effective strategy for slowing the skin's biological clock.
Open question page →What is salmon DNA (PDRN) tretman?
Salmon DNA (polydeoxyribonucleotide — PDRN) tretman involves injecting biological material derived from salmon DNA beneath the skin. It accelerates cell renewal, provides anti-inflammatory effects, and supports collagen synthesis. It delivers notable improvement especially in damaged, tired, and aging skin. Three to four sessions (2-3 weeks apart) are recommended. It is one of the core components of the Skin longevity protocol.
Open question page →What are biostimulant fileri and how do they work?
Biostimulant fileri (calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid based) are next-generation tretmani that stimulate the body's own collagen production at the injection site. While traditional HA fileri provide instant volume, biostimulants deliver gradual, natural tightening and remodeling. Their effects last 12-24 months and show progressive improvement over time. Used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
Open question page →What is monopolar radiofrequency tretman?
Monopolar radiofrequency is a non-invasive skin tightening tretman that generates heat in deep tissue layers, triggering collagen fiber contraction and new collagen production. It provides significant improvement in skin sagging, laxity, and wrinkles. The procedure is needle-free and painless. Rezultati appear gradually over 2-6 months and last 12-18 months. It can be applied across large areas including the face, neck, abdomen, and arms.
Open question page →What is the Skin longevity education program?
Dr. Gemici offers a comprehensive Skin longevity education program to help patients become informed about skin health. The program covers skin biology fundamentals, aging mechanisms, daily skincare routines, nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, sun protection awareness, and professional tretman timing. Designed in a modular format, the program aims for every patient to become an active manager of their own skin health.

What is PRP hair tretman and is it effective for hair loss?
PRP hair tretman involves injecting growth-factor-rich plasma derived from the patient's own blood into the scalp. It nourishes hair follicles, stimulates dormant follicles, and improves hair quality. Its effectiveness for male and female pattern hair thinning has been demonstrated in clinical studies. Four to six sessions (3-4 weeks apart) are applied, with maintenance sessions twice yearly recommended. Rezultati become visible within 3-6 months. There is no allergic reaction risk as the patient's own blood is used.
Open question page →What is hair mezoterapija and how does it differ from PRP?
kosa mezoterapija involves micro-injecting specialized cocktails containing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and growth factors into the scalp. While PRP uses the body's own biological material, mezoterapija provides external supplementation. Both methods complement each other and yield the best results when combined. It is highly effective for hair thinning, volume loss, and quality decline.
Open question page →Are hair tretman results permanent?
PRP and mezoterapija strengthen existing hair follicles and slow hair loss but cannot completely stop genetic hair loss. Regular maintenance tretmani (2-3 sessions yearly) sustain results. Early intervention yields the best outcomes. Completely bald areas may require hair transplantation; Dr. Gemici will recommend the most appropriate tretman plan for your situation.
