Botox is used for a variety of things, but most of what everyone is so excited about is its use for removing fine lines and wrinkles. Today, everyone is trying their best to look and feel younger. The Botox treatment is fairly non-invasive and has quick results and very few risks. Botox is a wonderful option and one that can quickly make your lines and wrinkles finally disappear, never to be seen again, but is it worth it? Are there any side effects of Botox? Let’s take a closer look at Botox and see just what some of the side effects are.
Some people who use Botox never have any side effects and come away from the experience better than they were before, however some people do suffer side effects such as: droopy eyelids, muscle weakness, nausea, facial pain, heartburn, tooth problems, high blood pressure, upper respiratory infection, neck pain, headache, vertical deviation of the eye, urinary tract infection, blood in the urine, fatigue, cough, flu like symptoms, back pain, runny nose, dry mouth, infection, bleeding at the injection site, anxiety, soreness at the injection site, and difficulty swallowing. These side effects can all be easily treated but you will need to decide if any side effects at all are worth it to you to simply look younger.
There are some serious side effects from Botox such as: chest pain, speech problems and double vision. These side effects are rare however if any of these side effects are what you are experiencing you should call your doctor immediately.
Another aspect of Botox to consider is the long-term effect. The long-term medical complications of Botox have not yet been discovered or studied by researchers. It is not yet known or scientist have not yet given straight answers as to whether Botox can cause long-term damage or even muscle paralysis. This is a huge concern to some people because although they would love to look young again, it may not be worth it to them to find out years down the road that Botox was the cause of all the major health problems they are experiencing.
Hopefully this article has shed a little light on some of the effects of Botox and can therefore help you make a more informed decision on whether you would like to give Botox a try or whether you may seek other options that are available on the market today.
