There are papers on the net with photos ...of how botulinum toxin affects the neuromuscular junctions.

This is one:

But I did see photomicrographs on another paper suggesting that botox can cause myasthenia gravis.(permanent damage).
I did that search long ago for our MG forum.

So this is not a minor treatment. It needs considerable thought, and search out the side effects.

Here are the side effects from drugcite.com
