Botulinum toxin can be used to treat several different concerns.
Botulinum toxin is used to treat, among other things, muscle overactivity in neurological and muscular disorders, chronic migraine, bruxism, or teeth grinding, excessive sweating, and facial flushing related to rosacea. It is also likely the world’s most popular aesthetic treatment.
The effect of botulinum toxin is based on the delayed inhibition of nerve impulse transmission to the target area, most often a muscle, which weakens its activity. The effect begins gradually within 3–10 days. The effect of botulinum toxin is always temporary. It usually lasts for 3–6 months.
