Botulinum toxin type A

Botulinum toxin type A is a purified protein derived from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It works by blocking nerve signals to muscles, preventing them from contracting. This effect can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, treat muscle spasms, and manage certain conditions like chronic migraines. When administered by a healthcare professional in controlled doses, it is generally safe and effective. The effects usually last for a few months, after which treatments may be repeated. It’s important to use it under medical supervision to avoid side effects and ensure proper application.
