With any kind of medication that is available nowadays, there is a chance of side effects, and the same is true of Botox. Botox is a medicine that a doctor can inject under an area of facial skin to reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines. It works by paralyzing or relaxing the face muscles of a person so that their face looks much younger and more smooth.

Just like any other type of medicine, side effects are present with Botox. They will not effect everyone who uses the medicine, and if a person does experience Botox side effects, the treatment is generally mild and not invasive. There have been many studies done by medical professionals on the effects of this drug. These group studies have been performed for Botox that is used for medical treatments and cosmetic purposes. If this product is used to treat people cosmetically, a person might experience high blood pressure, problems with their teeth, heartburn, nausea, facial pain, or droopy and heavy eyelids. If it is used medically, Botox side effects may be neck pain, headaches, trouble breathing, trouble with eye alignment, droopy and heavy eyelids, and trouble swallowing.

Some other botox side effects that people might experience are: back pain, anxiety, runny nose, stuffy nose, bleeding where the needle was injected, drowsiness, and dry mouth. If you experience any of the following severe effects, contact your doctor as soon as possible, because these are symptoms of botulism poisoning. The severe effects are trouble breathing and swallowing, problems when talking, weakness in your muscles, or double or blurred vision. There are many, though, that can use Botox without experiencing any side effects at all. When you use Botox, there is no sure way of knowing whether you will experience any type of side effect or not. But, if you find yourself experiencing one or more of the listed effects, you should talk to your physician as soon as possible.
