Do botulinum injections paralyze my muscles?

0

The term paralysis suggests a permanent loss of movement resulting from injury to a nerve or muscle. Botulinum blocks the ability of the stimulating nerve to cause contraction of the injected muscle. This does not result in permanent muscle injury or paralysis. It does reduce or substantially eliminate the ability of this injected muscle to contract and produce overlying skin wrinkles. This effect is transient and generally lasts about 3 to 4 months.
