Botulinum toxin
Injectables
보툴리눔 톡신
A medicine that temporarily reduces the nerve signal to a muscle, easing excessive muscle contraction.
How it works
It suppresses the process by which acetylcholine is released at the nerve endings, reducing muscle movement. The effect is not permanent and recovers gradually over time.
Good to know
The design of injection sites and dosage greatly determines the result. Checking the position and strength of the muscles so that expressions do not become unnatural is important, and response and duration vary from person to person.
