Not if you are treated by an experienced doctor who will be able to determine the right dose and injection technique for you. Botox Cosmetic works only on the specific area being treated, so that the other elements of your facial expression remain active. It has no effect on the sensory nerves, so you will still have normal feeling in the treated areas.
In the amounts used for the treatment of frown lines, side effects–if they do occur–are usually temporary and localized to the area of the injection. The most common side effect is bruising which is temporary and limited to the site of the injection. Side effects that may occur within the first week following the injection include localized tenderness, bruising and a possible headache. Ptosis, which is the drooping of the eyelid or brow, can occur but it is rare, especially in the hands of an experienced doctor.
In addition to its cosmetic uses, Botox Cosmetic has been used for more than ten years at much higher dosages to treat patients with a wide variety of medical conditions, including cerebral palsy in children as young as two, adult spasticity, movement disorders and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). More than one million people have used Botox Cosmetic, making it the most popular and fastest growing cosmetic procedure in North America. Botox Cosmetic is a prescription-only medication and as such, is only available through a doctor. Furthermore, since treatment results depend very much on application, it is important to go to a doctor who is experienced and well trained in administering Botox Cosmetic.
