What are the side effects of botulinum toxin?

Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botulinum toxin, has become a very popular form of micro-plastic surgery because of its obvious wrinkle removal and beauty effects. However, Botox also has many side effects. Let’s take a look at some of the side effects.

The side effects of botulinum toxin are mainly divided into the following categories. 1: Stiff expression. This type of side effect is usually caused by unprofessional techniques, improper dosage control, too much injection, or the injection point is too low. The effects of the drug have an excessive impact on facial muscles, resulting in unnatural expressions. 2: Photophobia and tearing. After the injection, it will affect the muscles of the eyebrows. After encountering the light source, the pupils lose the ability to adjust the brow movements, resulting in photophobia and tears. Three: Facial tightness. This type of symptom usually appears after forehead injection, because the medicine limits the lifting function of the forehead. This will cause a slight feeling of tightness, and in severe cases, dizziness. Four: It affects the eyebrow shape. If the injection is done in the wrong amount or in the wrong location, especially around the forehead. This will have an impact on the shape of the eyebrows. If this side effect occurs, it can be resolved with additional medication. 5: Eyebrow drooping mainly affects the eyebrows or upper eyelids, so when injecting, be careful to avoid the center of the eyelids. Choosing a skilled physician for injection can greatly reduce the risk of brow sagging.
