This is a purified protein known as botulinum toxin, which is administered through injections into targeted muscles. The protein works by blocking nerve signals to these muscles, causing them to relax temporarily. This effect can last between 3 and 6 months, depending on the individual and the treatment area. The primary uses of this treatment include reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines on the face, managing excessive underarm sweating (a condition known as axillary hyperhidrosis), and alleviating symptoms of jaw clenching and teeth grinding (bruxism). By targeting specific muscles, the treatment helps smooth out wrinkles, control sweat production, and relieve the discomfort associated with muscle tension.
