Bioimaging of botulinum toxin and hyaluronate hydrogels using zwitterionic near-infrared fluorophores

Abstract Background The injection of botulinum toxin (BTX) to reduce facial wrinkles is one of the most frequently performed plastic surgery procedures. The biocompatible hydrogels are injected with BTX for effective tissue augmentation. However, it is difficult to determine the interval of injectio...
