What Does a Neurotoxin Do?
Neurotoxins in San Luis Obispo County are injected into desired areas to provide various effects. Some are injected directly into the muscle, which then acts on the neuromuscular junctions to paralyze or weaken that area. In non-cosmetic medical contexts, this can include neurotoxin injection into muscles of the neck for relaxation of dystonia (excessive muscle contraction), or muscles around the lower head to relax the muscles that cause migraines. Other uses include small doses in the armpit for the treatment of hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. Cosmetically, botulinum toxin is mostly used to weaken or paralyze the muscles of the face that cause static wrinkles.
