Despite common misconceptions, botulinum toxin injections have been safely used in medicine for over 30 years and in aesthetic treatments for nearly 20 years.
In general medicine, botulinum toxin is used to treat muscle spasms, such as strabismus (crossed eyes), excessive blinking, and migraines. In aesthetic medicine, it is used for horizontal neck wrinkles, excessive sweating, drooping mouth corners, rough chin texture, and most commonly, facial expression lines—helping to achieve a natural and youthful appearance.
