What is Botulinum Toxin Treatment?
Botulinum Toxin, commonly known as Botox, is a neurotoxic protein used in medical treatments to temporarily reduce muscle activity. It works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles, leading to relaxation and reduction of muscle contractions. This treatment is effective for various medical conditions and is administered through carefully targeted injections.
