The treatment involves injecting small doses of botulinum toxin under the skin to temporarily block nerve impulses that cause muscle contraction. The result is smoother wrinkles and a more youthful-looking complexion.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do botulinum toxin injections work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines. Most commonly, injections are administered to the forehead, around the eyes (crow\u2019s feet), and around the mouth (downturned corners). Wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement begin to soften, and the skin appears smoother and more firm.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Benefits and results:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>Smoothing wrinkles:<\/strong> Botox is most often used to soften facial expression lines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More youthful appearance:<\/strong> The procedure leaves the skin looking smoother and fresher, creating a younger look.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Muscle relaxation:<\/strong> Results appear quickly \u2014 the first results are visible within 3\u20135 days after the procedure, and they typically last 3\u20136 months.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fast and convenient:<\/strong> The procedure is quick and involves minimal downtime \u2014 you can return to your daily routine immediately after treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Contraindications:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>Pregnancy and breastfeeding:<\/strong> The procedure is contraindicated during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin:<\/strong> If you have previously experienced allergic reactions to Botox or similar substances.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Neurological conditions:<\/strong> If you have neuromuscular disorders (e.g., muscular dystrophies), Botox is not recommended.<\/li>\n<li><strong>People taking certain medications:<\/strong> If you use muscle relaxants or blood thinners, Botox should be discussed with a doctor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21020,"template":"","class_list":["post-21019","teenused","type-teenused","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gioventu.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teenused\/21019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gioventu.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teenused"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gioventu.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/teenused"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gioventu.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gioventu.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
