Botulinum toxin therapy

Botulinum toxin therapy involves using a substance derived from the bacteria that causes botulism to treat various medical and cosmetic conditions. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, reducing muscle contractions. This can help alleviate symptoms of conditions like migraines, spasms, and excessive sweating, as well as improve the appearance of wrinkles. The treatment is administered via injections, and effects typically last for several months. While generally considered safe when performed by trained professionals, it’s essential to discuss potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.
