How Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection is performed
This treatment involves injecting botulinum toxin type A into the overactive muscles to temporarily block the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. It is usually completed in the outpatient clinic, with localization based on clinical palpation, and electromyography or ultrasound guidance if necessary, with small amounts injected at multiple points.
