Btx is a natural toxin that inhibits the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that transmits impulses between muscles and nerves. Its use leads to completely safe blocking of neuromuscular synapses, as a result of which the muscles stop contracting excessively. The results of treatment with btx are completely reversible. The treatment is directed to both women and men.
The scope of application of botulinum toxin includes the treatment of various diseases that cause too strong muscle tension.
In aesthetic medicine, it is used to reduce wrinkles, treat bruxism (too strong, involuntary clenching of teeth) and treat gummy smile. It is also used in cases of excessive sweating. The procedure is practically painless and does not require prior anesthesia.
