Apart from errors, there are side effects that can arise from Botox usage. These side effects are numerous, but it is unusual for anyone to experience them all. They include inflammation, redness, pain at the injection sites, bruising, bleeding and so on.
Muscle spasms, numbness, dry mouth, headache, fatigue, droopy eyelids, fatigue issues are also possible side effects
Many of these side effects are also allergies playing out, asthma, wheezing, itching, rash, faintness, dizziness. If these allergic reactions begin, let your doctor know immediately, although your allergies should be taken into effect before a Botox treatment plan is designed for you.
A few of them can be avoided though, with experience and skill on the side of the injector to avoid problematic spots that might trigger allergies.
Other parts of the face can be affected by the Botox even though they are not directly the ones injected with the Botox. This happens because the Botox migrates around and can travel from the injection point in the forehead for example to other close sites like the eyebrows and eyelids.
AVOIDING BOTOX SIDE EFFECTS.
Side effects are preventable if the right precautions are taken beforehand. It is advisable to do the following to avoid the occurrence of one.
1. Inform your doctor of any allergies you may have and other conditions like asthma, breathing problems, bleeding problems, skin conditions and the likes.
2. A concentrated dosage is less likely to migrate to unwanted zones of the face than a highly diluted one.
