What is the harm of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal?
As we all know, when muscles are overactive, they will produce annoying dynamic wrinkles, such as crow's feet, wrinkles and head wrinkles. Botulinum toxin can block nerve impulses between nerves and muscles, relax over-contracted facial muscles, and make your facial skin smooth again, while untreated muscles can still contract normally without affecting normal facial expressions. Botulinum toxin injection wrinkle removal method is safe and effective, and the treatment is fast, convenient and simple, with little pain for patients, which is incomparable to other wrinkle removal methods. However, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the indications for wrinkle removal, and it is necessary to observe a large number of cases and carry out phase III clinical treatment according to GCP standards. Only after the efficacy and safety are confirmed can the indication be increased.
