Can botox be used to reduce muscles?

spiker54
I do weightlifting regularly and I've noticed for any leg compound movements, my adductors muscles seem to be overactive and get used the most. With this, my adductor muscles bulge out and make my legs look weird. Would it be possible to get botox just in the adductor muscles to help reduce the size, but also help make it less active it so its not over working compared to the rest of the leg?
