What Is Botox Therapy

Botox is a synthesized protein commonly used for cosmetic procedures as well as medical treatments. Cosmetically, Botox injections temporarily reduce the visibility of crow’s feet and frown lines which develop as a result of sustained facial muscle movement. Botox is also used  as a filler to contour and restore loss of definition to the jawline sometimes  combined with filler and/or laser treatments for more challenging cases. 

Botox treatments, while popular for reducing wrinkles and fine lines, do come with some potential disadvantages and side effects.

Risks Associated with Botox Therapy

There are some of the most common potential disadvantages and side effects. 

  1. Temporary Results: Botox effects typically last 3-6 months, meaning regular treatments are needed to maintain results(1,2).

  2. Common Side Effects: pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, headaches, and flu-like symptoms(2,3). 

  3. Less Common Side Effects:  Droopy Eyelids, Crooked Eyebrows, and a Crooked smile(2,3).

  4. Allergic Reactions: Allergic reactions which can include Itching, Rash, or Asthma Symptoms(1).

  5. Loss of Facial Expressions: Overuse of Botox can lead to a “frozen” look, where facial expressions become limited(1).

  6. Expensive: Botox treatments can be expensive, especially since they need to be repeated every few months(1).

  7. Risk of Infection: As with any injection, there is a small risk of infection at the injection site(2).

  8. Potential for Incorrect Application: If not administered correctly, Botox can cause unwanted results or even harm(2).

  9. Skin Ages but the Synthetic Fillers Do Not: Smooth Contours Collape arounf filler pockets as thinning skin looses its elasticity.
