Safety of botulinum toxin

The safety of the Type A botulinum toxin is proven and supported by numerous scientific studies. The treatment is completely safe, due to the fact that during the procedure, the doctor applies small amounts of the preparation in precisely defined places, exerting only temporary effects on specific groups of facial muscles. The total amount of substance given is several times lower than the dose, which is dangerous for humans. The treatment can be performed repeatedly, the given doses of toxin do not add up.

Is botulinum toxin treatment painful?
