Extended data:

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin, which can block the nerve impulse between nerve and muscle, make the small muscles of the face unable to contract, and at the same time, the skin is in a state of static and non-contraction, thus achieving the effect of eliminating facial dynamic wrinkles and face-lifting. However, botulinum toxin should not be injected frequently, and it should be injected at least once every 6 months.
