Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Botox contains onabotulinumtoxin A. It blocks nerve activity in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle activity.
It is used cosmetically to temporarily lessen the appearance of facial wrinkles.
With its use, more common side effect seen is difficulty with swallowing.
However, it is not sure that it is used as a treatment for improving fairness of skin. Hence, it would be better for you to consult Skin specialist for its appropriate mode of use.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
