It reduces the activity of receptors responsible for muscle contraction <\/p>\n\n<p>Botulinotherapy is the most commonly performed aesthetic procedure worldwide. Botulinum toxin injections are done without the need for local anesthesia. The dosage is determined by the doctor based on individual needs The full effect becomes visible approximately two weeks after the procedure<\/p>\n\n<p>Botulinum toxin is a dose-dependent product. The higher the dose administered, the longer the temporary muscle relaxation lasts, resulting in more prolonged effects If the patient prefers a more natural-looking expression, a lower dose is recommended. <\/p>\n\n<p>There\u2019s another important concept to be aware of \u2014 resistance to the product Clinical studies have shown that 1\u20135% of patients may develop antibodies to botulinum toxin after repeated injections. This resistance is typically linked to either high doses (over 250 units) administered over a short period or frequent injections of smaller doses at short intervals. <\/p>\n\n<p>If antibodies develop against a specific type of botulinum toxin, other serological types can be used as alternatives. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to maintain a 4\u20136 month interval between injections The product is metabolized and completely eliminated from the body through the liver <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Indications<\/strong>for Botulinum Toxin Injections <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Correction of vertical frown lines between the eyebrows <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Horizontal forehead lines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cCrow\u2019s feet\u201d around the eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cSmoker\u2019s lines\u201d on the upper lip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nasal bridge wrinkles (\u201cbunny lines\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower third of the face \u2014 jawline and chin contouring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neck wrinkles \u2014 platysma band correction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gummy smile (excessive gum visibility when smiling), asymmetric smile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lip line and volume correction for clearer phonetics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Orthodontic cases \u2014 to relieve masseter muscle hypertonicity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dysfunction of the chewing muscles, bruxism (teeth grinding), and jaw muscle spasms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Migraine relief<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Treatment of unilateral or bilateral blepharospasm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) in the underarms, palms, and soles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hemifacial spasm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paralytic strabismus;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spastic torticollis; local muscle spasms <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>There is a method called &#8220;Mesobotox,&#8221; which involves the injection of microdoses of the product just beneath the skin to correct fine lines and wrinkles. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Contraindications for Botox: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hypersensitivity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Myasthenic and myasthenia-like syndromes (including Lambert-Eaton syndrome<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simultaneous use with aminoglycosides or spectinomycin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pregnancy;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lactation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High myopia (severe nearsightedness)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>High myopia (severe nearsightedness) <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Possible Post-Injection Side Effects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain at the injection area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bruising (hematoma) at the injection area <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>These symptoms typically resolve on their own within 3\u20135 days <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","service-category":[89],"class_list":["post-1383","services","type-services","status-publish","hentry","service-category-injection-procedures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totalcharm.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services\/1383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totalcharm.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totalcharm.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/services"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/totalcharm.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services\/1383\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totalcharm.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"service-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totalcharm.ge\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service-category?post=1383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
