Is Botox Safe
How safe is Botox treatment? Botox is one of the safest cosmetic procedures, so long as it is administered properly by a qualified practitioner. Stories of botched Botox procedures are often the result of wrong dosages, injecting in the wrong places, or failing to fully take into account the patient’s medical history. It is true that Botox is a toxin that can cause paralysis and difficulty in breathing if it spreads to the chest muscles, but the only way that can happen is if the injection was not done properly.
Botox does have some side effects, such as dizziness, dropping eyelids, headaches, bruising, and even double vision, but most of these disappear eventually. The key is to limit your dosage per session. Recently, Botox has been used for purposes other than cosmetic enhancement, such as for the treatment of cerebral palsy, which requires larger doses. This has caused some adverse effects, including death, leading many to believe that its use should be limited for now to fixing facial wrinkles.
Testimonials
Positive feedback from Botox use has generally outweighed the negative. Those who did not have a good experience have generally complained of some of the side effects, while the more unfortunate ones were victims of a botched procedure that did nothing to make them look younger. In the hands of the wrong physician, all these can easily happen. But overall, Botox feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, which is why it remains as one of the most popular cosmetic procedures today for many people.
