Botox Information:

BOTOX® injections utilize Botulinum Toxin Type A to treat wrinkles. BOTOX® Injections were originally slated to treat neurological disorders; today, BOTOX® injections are widely used to remove facial lines, especially frown lines, "crow's feet," and forehead lines.
Indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugators and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients’ ≤ 65 years of age.

Botox Side Effects:

It is always prudent to review the BOTOX® injection side effects and procedures so that any BOTOX® injection danger is know and understood. Common side effects vary depending on treated area. You should consult with your doctor for full detail.

Less frequently side effects of BOTOX® occurring (<3%) adverse reactions included pain in the face, swelling at the injection site, and muscle weakness. These events are thought to be associated with the injection and occurred within the first week.

It is a natural response to assume there is some BOTOX® injection danger with a product derived from a toxin, but it is in fact very safe, and has been is use for some time. People with cardiovascular disease should pay special attention. Also, for people with neuromuscular disorders should consult with their physician carefully before having a BOTOX® injection treatment, as cardiovascular problems may arise.

We advise you to contact your doctor and seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of the following: difficulty in breathing, swallowing, or speaking; hives, swelling including swelling of the face or throat, wheezing, feeling faint and shortness of breath (possible symptoms of severe allergic reaction).
