Botulinum Toxin is a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscles by blocking nerve signals. It is used to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging, as well as to treat certain medical conditions like migraines and excessive sweating.

When administered by a trained and licensed professional, Botulinum Toxin is considered safe. However, minor side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site may occur. Serious complications are rare when performed correctly.

The results typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on factors like the individual’s metabolism, the area treated, and the dosage. Regular maintenance sessions are required to sustain the effects.

Good candidates are generally healthy individuals seeking to reduce wrinkles or treat conditions like excessive sweating or migraines. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with certain neurological conditions, may need to avoid the procedure. A consultation with a specialist is recommended.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. The injections are done using fine needles, and a numbing agent or ice pack can be used to reduce discomfort if necessary.
