Botulinum Toxins

Botulinum toxins are a group of neurotoxic proteins produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. They have become popular in the aesthetic area because they lead to muscle paralysis, which can help in various medical and cosmetic procedures.

  • Strabismus (crossed eyes)
  • Dystonia(involuntary muscle contractions)
  • Cervical dystonia (neck spasms)
  • Blepharospasm(eyelid spasms)
  • Migraines
  • Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
