Botulinum toxin is a well studied medication that temporarily weakens the muscle where it is in injected in the body. Doctors can use this medication in the face and neck to selectively weaken certain muscles to help restore symmetry, reduce spasms/tightness, and improve function. The medication generally last about 3 months before needing re-injection. When used for facial paralysis, it often can be submitted to your insurance plan for coverage (but this varies based on your specific insurance plan).
