WHAT RISKS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH BOTOX COSMETIC TREATMENTS?
Possible risks of Botox Cosmetic Treatments include:
- Bruises, stinging, or redness around injection sites.
- Droopy eyelid if Botox is used improperly.
- Headaches that start within a couple of days of treatment and may last for several weeks.
Botox has been licensed in Canada since 1990 as a safe and effective treatment for a number of disorders caused by overactive muscles. It has even been used to treat children as young as 2 years with cerebral palsy. In 2001, Health Canada approved Botox Cosmetic Treatments for wrinkle therapy and it has been proven to be very safe through extensive research and testing. In the amounts commonly used, common side effects, such as bruising, are temporary and localized to the area of injection.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Botox Cosmetic Treatments continue to be the most popular among all cosmetic procedures (surgical and non-surgical combined). In North America it has been used by more than 2 million women and men, who want to take control of their appearance and look as good as they feel.
