From the ODAC Poster Hall | Skin Rejuvenation With Microtoxin
Microtoxin or microbotox is a novel approach in aesthetics where microdosed botulinum toxin is placed into the dermis. Unlike traditional neuromodulators that target skeletal muscle, microtoxin acts within the dermis, impacting sebaceous and eccrine glands, arrector pili contraction, fibroblast signaling, and neurovascular pathways. The result is enhanced skin quality without impaired facial muscl …
