    TLDR Botulinum toxin-A reduces wound and skin graft contraction.
    The study investigated the effects of botulinum toxin–A (BTX-A) on wound and skin graft contractions using 30 adult female Wistar rats. The rats were divided into two groups, with one group serving as the control and the other receiving BTX-A injections. Results showed that BTX-A injections reduced the amount of wound and graft contraction. Histological examination revealed higher inflammation and collagen levels, with different collagen arrangements in the BTX-A treated groups. Additionally, BTX-A was found to reduce the number of sebaceous cells and hair follicles.
