Frequently Asked Questions
What is the temporalis muscle?

The lethal dose of botulinum toxin is known to be approximately 1,300–2,100 units per 1 kg of body weight (international units, based on mouse studies). The amount used in medical procedures is managed safely and is much lower than this range.
