Botulinum toxin type A has been used since 1980 to treat many muscle disorders, such as lazy eye, and uncontrolled blinking. It was pioneered by dermatologic surgeons for cosmetic use in 1987.
Treatment involves injection of very small amounts of botulinum toxin into the underlying muscles to relax them. The actual treatment is well tolerated and takes just a few minutes with no "down time" or prolonged recovery period.
