【 摘 要 】

Background: Aesthetic applications of Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) may lead to some complications or unwanted muscle paralysis. Case Report: Given that the BoNT-A effects may last several months and there is no medical intervention to accelerate muscle function recovery so far, the present study aims at reporting a clinical case in which movement disorder of the mimic muscles resulting from BoNT-A injections was managed with daily sessions of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT). It was noted a fast improvement in both facial asymmetry and muscle function within a few weeks. After nine weeks, almost complete recovery was achieved. Conclusion: According to the current case, PMBT seems to be an effective intervention to accelerate muscle function recovery following BoNT-A use.
