Are there side effects to using botox?

Very low risk: Botox has an excellent safety record when administered by qualified professionals. Rarely someone might have some temporary drooping of an eyelid or eyebrow and this should resolve quickly.

Of course: Of course there are side effects. There are side effects to drinking water. However, one of the side effects may be looking better. There are risks and these will depend on the area being injected, the techniques used, and several other factors. Discuss these with the physician whom you will trust to inject you.

Very limited: Botox has been used medically and cosmetically throughout the world for decades. While there are instances of side effects, they are incredibly rare, and should not preclude someone from trying the therapy.
