Botulinum Toxin Injections

Botulinum toxin injections involve using a purified form of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected in small amounts, it temporarily relaxes muscles by blocking nerve signals. This can reduce wrinkles, treat certain medical conditions like migraines, and alleviate muscle spasms. The effects usually last three to six months. While generally safe when administered by trained professionals, there can be side effects, such as bruising or headaches. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if it's suitable for your needs.
