What is a “BOTOX” treatment?
Several injections of botulinum toxin, using a very fine needle, are made around the eye directly into muscles that are contracting excessively. Positive effects of the treatment for blepharospasm are often seen within about 3 days of botulinum toxin treatment and the maximum effect is often achieved 2-3 weeks after injection. Results from one treatment can last up to 3 months.
