No: Botox specifically works at the nerve endings that control muscle function. There is no evidence that it has an effect on either the liver or the kidneys.

No, most likely not: 1) the dose for Botox cosmetic is very small 2) Botox cosmetic works at the injection site as it binds to the target muscle's synaptic junction. It does not float throughout the body affecting organs such as the liver & kidney 3) the cosmetic effect wears off gradually over 3-4 months for face and longer for areas such as the hands.

No: It is injected into the muscle and very little systemic absorption(very little goes into the bloodstream).
