Botox Treatment
Possible Side Effects
The side effects of Botox treatment are mainly related to the effect
of Botox on local muscles.
- As with any injection, Botox treatment can cause temporary pain,
swelling, redness, bruising, headache or discomfort at the injection
site.
- Rarely, patients have been reported to develop a slight lowering
of an eyelid (ptosis), or slight lowering of the forehead. This
is temporary and usually resolves in a few weeks.
- Some patients may have an uneven or incomplete response to treatment.
Botox does reduce the action of the muscles of facial expression.
Patients with neuromuscular disorders should inform their doctor
before therapy and Botox therapy should not be administered during
pregnancy.
