Botulinum Toxin Injection

Botulinum toxin injection involves using a purified form of a natural toxin to temporarily relax specific muscles. It's commonly used to reduce wrinkles, treat certain muscle disorders, and manage excessive sweating. The procedure involves a healthcare professional injecting small amounts of the toxin directly into targeted muscles with a fine needle. The toxin works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contraction, leading to smoother skin or relief from muscle-related symptoms. Effects typically develop within a few days and last for several months, after which treatments may be repeated. It is a controlled, minimally invasive procedure with a high safety profile when performed by trained professionals.
