Botox treatment is considered safe and effective, with no serious side effects. There are two categories of adverse events associated with Botox - transient and benign events and potentially serious events. The aim of a new study (Witmanowski H et al. The whole truth about botulinum toxin - a review. Postepy Dermatol Alergol 2019 Feb 5;37(6):853–861) was to review the side effects associated with Botox and to advise on possible prevention strategies. The complications described a few days after the injection usually disappear, while the more serious ones are usually due to incorrect injection technique of Botox intramuscularly.
