Safety information about Botox confirms it is FDA-approved with over 30 years of clinical use in both cosmetic and therapeutic applications. Common side effects are mild and temporary, including minor bruising, redness, and slight swelling at injection sites. Rare complications such as eyelid ptosis can be minimised by choosing experienced practitioners who understand facial anatomy and proper injection technique.
Treatment longevity typically ranges from 3-4 months, with factors including individual metabolism, muscle strength, treatment area, and whether the patient has had previous Botox treatments affecting duration. Regular maintenance treatments may help extend results and prevent the formation of deep static lines that occur from repeated muscle movement over time.
Aftercare recommendations include avoiding lying down for 4 hours post-treatment, refraining from touching or massaging treated areas, avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and staying away from excessive heat including saunas and hot baths. These precautions help ensure the Botox remains in the intended location and produces optimal results.
